Program Philosophy |
Workshops and residencies are developed for schools by the
artist and with coordinating teachers and staff, to fit your school community
and connect educationally with grade levels being served. The workshops
and residencies honor core curriculum content, affirming and deepening
the students' knowledge-based learning. Field trips to museums or other
venues can be integrated with workshops or residencies. Collaborative
residencies with other art disciplines are also encouraged.

| Murals |
Elementary residency murals are painted by 5th
grade students. The mural imagery is generated through student drawings
from any grade level and may connect with any curriculum content. MS
and HS mural imagery may connect with any curriculum content and are
usually painted by art students. Murals are painted on wood panels usually
8' X 12'.

| Book Arts |
Elementary book formats classify and identify curriculum
content and can serve as GPS assessment. Example Rainforest folding books
identify biome layers respective plants and animals. MS and HS residencies
focus on book format and construction techniques, to create books as a
work of art.
