Arts for Learning

Arts for Learning

Arts for Learning engages children with the arts by bringing teaching artists into schools and communities. We believe in the arts and their ability to transform education. We believe that when learning is enriched with the arts, students get more out of school.

Arts for Learning offers programs in various forms – including performances, hands-on workshops, and in-depth residencies. Our programs connect the arts with the curriculum to supplement learning.

Our programs occur wherever learning takes place, including afterschool programs, libraries, community centers, juvenile detention facilities, and hospitals.

Book of Leaves by the Back-to-Back Bonnies

Program description

Choose an imaginative way to introduce nature to your students through poetry and a hanging book of leaves. For the winter months, students can create a hanging book of hot chocolate mugs instead of leaves and write odes to the winter season. This is a 2-part workshop: 60 minutes for poetry and 60 minutes for making the book. The parts do not have to take place on the same day.
