The Artist’s Tool Box

Just as a scientist applies the scientific method to conduct experiments, artists utilize the 5 step creative process: preparation, incubation, illumination, evaluation, and verification. Work your way through the creative process and how to develop your own skills through the arts at Greenacres. We will create a work of art based on a theme or topic, which could be customized to content relevant to your classroom or your school community. This program is easily customizable for 6th, 7th, or 8th grade arts and core standards.

All multigrade program offerings will be supported by grade-level appropriate standards, available to share upon request.
