Liberty Children’s Art Project (LCAP) in partnership with North Star Academy Elementary  completed two days of our ‘All Day Art Days’ art enrichment program in the  spring of 2019.
LCAP had three artists and an assistant conducting six sessions throughout two  school days which included  children from six  elementary classrooms.  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.
Lessons taught in these “All Day Art Day” sessions included:

Create a Robot: Design with Collage

‘Adire Elko’ Watercolor Batik with Resist

Cold Wax Batik with Fabric Dye

Comic Strip Cover: Superhero?

Undersea Life: Chalk Pastels

The North Star Academy  is  a charter located located in  Marquette, MI.  This school offers alternative education for youth k-12.  These art enrichment classes are vital to the youth of Marquette allowing them exposure to a fine arts experience taught by working artists. This event was made possible by generous funding from a donation from  the Zero Degree Gallery Fund and the MCACA/NEA
