Your artists always take the needs of the students intoconsideration. They adjust their pacing and pronunciation so thatour students get the most out of their performances. With each

performance, our students get to practice their listening andspoken language skills in a wonderfully creative and supportive

environment. We appreciate your support!

Childrens Creativity in Motion

Once a project is funded, its time to gather the right people to plan and pull o the experience. In thease of our Environmental Arts residencies this year, we began by researching what schools need by

nterviewing school partners. We then requested and received a two-year $100,000 grant from the NinMason Pulliam Charitable Trust to create and implement residencies based on Indiana science standard

Then sta worked with teaching artists to prepare a series

of five consecutive lessons for children in grades 3-5. Rosteartist Laura Friesen created her residency called, PaperWays, with the Indiana State Standards in mind, and focus

ing on how papermaking could teach science content suchas environmental stewardship.

Once her residency was complete, we sought out schools

interested in providing this experience to their students.With the help of Arts for Learning program sta, ArlingtonElementary in Franklin Township decided on Lauras resi-dency. It was then time for Laura to meet with the classroo

teachers to learn about the students she would teach, andto revise her lessons to their particular needs.

After the residency dates were chosen, program sta visiteto document a lesson through photos, video, and an evaluation rubric to be later shared with the artist in order to

provide positive feedback on her work.

In this residency, children learned about the origin of fibershow conserving fiber reduces energy consumption andhelps the environment, and made their own pieces of pape

from pulp. Their paper was then hung in as mobile in theschool.

The classroom teacher Clara Crosby had this to say aboutthe experience, Each 3rd - 5th grade student has been ablto create their own piece of paper art from recycled paper

pulp. Before Laura arrived we watched the process onYouTube at a recycled paper factory. Now, the art room habecome a mini paper making factory and has made theexperience come alive for them.

he generosity of volunteers and donors makes Arts for Learningwork. We partner with community members and funders who seehe power of the arts, and have high hopes for the arts to take a

gnificant place in childrens educational lives. It is what we workoward everyday.

his year, one example of concerned community members coming

ogether for the good of the cause was our Power 2 Give onlineampaign. We featured Welcome to Learning, a kindergarten

rogram utilizing our early childhood teaching artists to impacttudents school readiness and literacy skills.

he campaign was a great success with 28 donors comingogether and raising $6,844 allowing 125 kindergarten students at

aul I. Miller School 114 to learn through the arts. School 114 servesdiverse student population with a majority living below the pov-rty level. They were ecstatic to receive our programs. Childrenxperienced workshops in clogging and fiddling, harp music, clay,

nd puppets, and performances such at Tap Team Twos Tappingwith Goldilocks. Donors were able to see the program in actionhrough online video, received thank you cards from the students,

nd thank you phone calls from an artist. Without the generousupport, this program would have never happened.

Artists of the Highest Caliber

Arts for Learning is built on the shoulders of our teachingrtists, who are our direct connection with children. Theiruccesses are our successes. Therefore, we place great

mportance on the selection of these amazing people.

rospective artists undergo a rigorous audition process, whichan take up to six months to complete. Sta, board, donors,

artners, and volunteers are all involved in the selectionrocess.

ourth Wall member Greg Jukes reflects on the auditionrocess:

Each of the three steps in the audition process had its own

istinct feel for us. In the beginning, we did a lot of researchnto education standards to figure out what we could besteach in our shows. We began digging into our repertoire tond pieces that would both be exciting to students while still

ontaining material that we could use to reinforce oururricular content.

he prescreening audition for a committee of Arts for

earning sta and teaching artists was a blast! We started byhowing a short piece of repertoire to be included in the showhen jumped into a variety of movement, music, and theatrical

ames. Reflection is very important to us as teaching artistsnd it was especially fun hearing how other teaching artistsnd arts educators process what we do.

he audience [at our in-school audition] was responsive andnthusiastic during the show. Nothing beats the energy kidsive when you perform for them. They will let you know in the

learest ways what they think about your work and if you'rerucking along, engaged and connected, it's the best!

he Fourth Wall was invited to be a part of the Arts for

earning roster, and has already begun performing.
