IN Kentucky the artists in residence not only demonstrate-which is
invaluable- but also teach kids all day long. I taught 32 units in 4 days
each week last year. Doing all core content-doing what an art teacher does
90% of the time. (Demonstration the other)
I don't know about California, but in Kentucky there are no full time
teachers on the elementary level. Kids get a traveling teacher that works 4
schools a week. SO the AIR program supplements this ineffectual practice by
providing consistent instruction for the kids.
The Federal funds support the lack of local financial support for the
arts-which is <I believe, on the goals of the program.
