Additional Feedback

Describe the way(s) this program impacts your students learning and how this arts experience correlates with your curriculum:

The program introduces students to art of a different culture that they have not been exposed to before. Mr. Pitkin does it in such a way that the students enjoy learning through process, instead of focusing on product. Unanimously, this is one of their favorite and most memorable, art experiences of the year.

Suggestions to artists for improvements:

I have had Mr. Pitkin come to my classroom for 6 years and each year I see that he has developed and fine-tuned his program to make it even better. He adjusts the program for each individual class that he teaches, meeting the needs of the educational diversity of the class.

Additional comments:

I would like to expand the program for my 6th graders next year.
