Artist in
Residence
Program

|
 Activities
- Request an artist in residence from the State
Council on the Arts. Artists may be in any field; for example:
a woodcutter and printer taught students methods
of making cuts and prints; brought supplies to set up the project
and left some to continue the project throughout the year
a modern and jazz dancer held classes daily
with all grades; students learned to express themselves in dance
and put on a dance for the village
a vocalist worked with elementary students
during the day; taught new songs and made up some Yupik songs;
gave a concert to the village; held practice after school for
high school students; helped them with vocal drills.
Resources
- Alaska State Council on the Arts, Artist-in-Residence
program
- Johnson O'Malley Funds (artist brings most of
his or her own supplies)
|
Variations
- Use local community people as
artists in residence.
- Teachers might develop enough
expertise to continue the project.
