Student Feedback
“With our normal math class our teacher just stands up there and speaks to us but with the quilt we get to do art while were doing math.”
“It is like fun and learning combined to make awesome.”
“I really like doing art because you get to show who you really are.”
While conducting an observation at the start of our sixth month residency program at Alexander Adaire Elementary School students from our pilot program one year ago informed us that they not only remember participating in the program but remembered the academic concepts they learned, the artistic concepts they learned, what they created, and why.
