The Artist in Residence Program has had significant success in the past seven years. Each year, Michigan Legacy Art Park Education Director, Patricia Innis, has spent time in classrooms at schools such as Traverse City Central Grade School, Frankfort Elementary, Brethren High School, and Mancelona Middle School. Innis works with teachers to create hands-on curriculum based art projects that engage students. Through this residency coupled with a fieldtrip to the Art Park, children see their textbooks spring to life.
Looking to Learn is a compilation of lesson plans and ideas for curriculum based activities for teachers to use in their classrooms before and after a fieldtrip to the Park.
Coasting the Baseline is a multi-site work that displays the historical significance of Michigan’s surveying methods.
