Please post comments from your students, which show the positive influence of an artist residency.
I'll begin this thread with some feedback from 5th grade students after a 14-week residency in their clasroom at Pulaski Community Academy.

Poetry
I learned that you don’t have to make a poem that rhymes but it has to make sense and you have to express your feelings and what you do. I really liked it it was fun you can make a poem the 1 line 5 sylabels 2 line 7 and the 3 line 5. I had lots and lots o fun.
Sincerely,
Jeselyn

I learned How to describe a picture and to write a hikoo and to write a poem. And how to show my feeling and explain a picture.
We took pictures and talk about how I feel at home.
