The
Studio Artists Program is a partnership between
Tempe Elementary District
#3 and the city of Tempe. The Studio Artists Program provides art
instruction for 4th/5th grade students within the Tempe Elementary School
District. Each artist visits fourth or fifth grade classrooms,
spending a total of four hours with each class. The children and the teacher
participate in a hands-on experience that focuses on that artist’s
particular area of expertise. Artists in the program live and work in
the Phoenix Metropolitan area and bring their personal creative experience
to the teaching process in the classrooms. The participating artists
are given studio spaces to use for the development of their own artwork.
The
Studio Artists Program aims to inspire students to achieve more in the
arts as they pursue their education and life. Artists introduce students
and teachers to creative and relevant arts activities. This unique
partnership offers students an opportunity to expand their understanding
of the arts and interact with a professional artist from our community.
Artists teach
workshops to students and teachers, and the District provides studio space
to the artists.
