How will the Artist Residency Project fit in with existing programs/curriculum?
Since the Resident Artist, representatives from the host site, and the Pittsburgh Center for the Arts plan the residency project together, much care is taken to address Pennsylvania’s Arts & Humanities Standards in all art forms and to clearly articulate the goal of having the Resident Artist at the site. Artists and teachers communicate regularly regarding the intent of the project and how to tie the art form into a specific program and/or extend it throughout the curriculum. Often it is not the Arts Educators who are working with the Resident Artist but, rather the Classroom Teacher who recognizes how an artform brought to life by a practicing artist can fully illuminate a concept for students.
