About
AMoA hosted Teen Open Studios for students 13-17. Teens had the opportunity to work on their own projects and participate in workshop-like demonstrations focused on various mediums and skills for developing their own studio practice, and a focused discussion on selected artworks in the exhibition. The program provided a safe place for students to create and make connections in an uplifting environment.
Intended Outcome
Amarillo set out to facilitate opportunities for 125 teens to connect with each other through their relationship with the themes of Home, Love, and Loss.
Actual Outcome
Eighty-five (85) teens participated in the Open Studios, with many of them returning from week-to-week. Teens noted that the experience was inspiring for them.
Advice Post Project
Keep class sizes at no more than 17-18 students. Larger classes of 20 or more become harder to manage and reduce the level of meaningful interactions between students and instructors.
