 * Project_Desc:** Teachers have difficulty in presenting arts beyond their abilities. They are restricted to the usual simple crayon, glue and paper activities. This doesn t lead to very interesting art projects or truly inspiring artistic creations. To go beyond this, we propose to bring in an Artist-in-Residence from the community who will work with each of the classes from K-5 for several weeks to produce sophisticated artworks relating to the media and skills of the artist involved. This project will allow children to directly interact with a real-live working artist. By showing children what true artists are capable of, this inspires them to stretch their own abilities and produce surprisingly creative works of art. The project will also give children the opportunity to have an artist role-model. Otherwise, a child may never have an opportunity to interact with a full-time working artist. It allows the class to go well beyond the limited abilities of any particular teacher and allows an in depth exposure to the media and techniques of the Artist-in-Residence. It also inspires kids to push the limits of their creative abilities to go beyond textbook activities and truly create works of art that you wouldn t think that elementary students would be capable of. These kinds of children/artist interactions can have a profound effect on how children view arts in education and can serve as a base for future learning and appreciation of the arts.
 * Project_Served:** This project will serve all the students and parents of Arbor Height Elementary School
