Marquette Alternative High School All Day Art Daysl

Liberty Children’s Art Project (LCAP) in partnership with the Marquette Alternative High School in Marquette, MI held our two day series of two ’All Day Art Days’ art enrichment program at their school in the fall of 2019. 
LCAP had two artists and an assistant conducting four sessions throughout the  school day in which  all students at the school could  elect to participate.  Although LCAP teachers emphasized art production these sessions also included art aesthetics (art of different cultures) art criticism (looking closely at works of art) and art history (learning about important artists.)  All children in the school participated using a wide variety of contemporary media and methods.
Two hour Lessons taught in these “All Day Art Day” sessions included:

Drawing and Designing with Celtic Knots

Printmaking methods on Tiles
