ARt YoWZa Life Skills

Artist-in-Residence Pilot Program 2005-06
Amelia Earhart Elementary School, Alameda, CA

Creative thinking is a very powerful tool you can use your whole life. I’m interested in seeing how the students use the inspiration of our dialogue, permission to be creative, and art and creative thinking structures to make artwork that is meaningful to them. ENJOY the photo galleries! Warmly, Rebecca Stees, ART YOWZA Director
