Art Enrichment Theme

The Spring 2020 theme is THE POWER OF ART. 

  • It can change you, your life and your future.
  • It can help you connect to your community and locate your identity. 
  • It can change the way you see the world and the way you dare to dream. 

In Monday Art Enrichment during the spring semester, participants (ages 4 to 14) will engage in a visual quest to explore and experience the power of art, and then project their personal visions in an empowering final art show on April 27, 2020.

About Art Enrichment

Art Enrichment is a hands-on experience and community outreach program offered by the Art Education division at Kent State University.

Each semester, a fresh group of children aged 4-14 come to campus after school to experience inventive, cutting-edge curriculum provided by our undergraduate students in Art Education. The students in the Teaching Practicum course are responsible for teaching children in our after school Art Enrichment classes. Supervised by Senior Faculty Member, Dr. Koon-Hwee Kan, students plan a comprehensive unit of art study and studio mastery for an assigned age group. The lessons follow a primary unit theme set by the instructor for the semester and a secondary theme developed with teammates for each set of required lesson plans. Individually each student plans three lessons that engage children in looking at art, intelligently talking about art, learning art skills, and creating art. The culminating activity is an art show featuring all the artwork created for family and friends to enjoy.
