My residencies directly relate to Minnesota State Art Standards, including:
• Understanding elements of visual art, including (color, line, shape, form,
texture, and space)
• Understanding the characteristics of visual art from a variety of cultures
and historical times;
• Using the tools, basic skills, and techniques of different mediums; and

Students will learn to create their own characters using basic shapes and
simple materials (paper, pencil, black markers). Depending on the grade, we
