Boy's & Girls Club, Mary Moya and Teaching Artist, Roberta Stutzman

Young Audiences' Arts for Learning Program breaks new ground by starting off the 2011-2012 program year collaborating with the Boys & Girls Club of Metro Atlanta. The after school program at both the Lawrenceville Center (Lawrenceville) and A. Whorley Brown (Norcross) will feature an Arts for Learning Residency in October and early November. One day a week for 6 weeks, students in grades 2-5 will create an individual collage representing their own interpretation of the qualities of a hero as described in the featured story. They will share their experiences in this work with an invited audience. The weekly classes are taught by an Arts for Learning Teaching Artist with the support of the Boys & Girls Club's Education and Visual Arts staff.
