The Art of Learning

Meet Our Artists Programs Resources
Meet the SKEA Teaching Artists
SKEA's Art of Learning program takes the arts to the public schools.

In recent years many schools have stopped hiring art and music teachers, so it is especially important to bring artists to the classroom. SKEA arranges for "teaching artists" to come to the school and teach lessons in the arts, or work with you to plan lessons that teach something about the arts and also address a topic in science, language arts, math, or social studies.
See our artists in action in the classroom.

View and/or download the arts and arts-integrated units that have already been taught in Kona's schools. As a teacher you can request to have these units taught or you can suggest another topic and work with the AOL Program Director and a teaching artist to make it happen.

The Request Form for the 2007-08 school year is now available.

This program is supported in part by the State Foundation on Culture and the Arts through appropriations from the Hawaii State Legislature   and the National Endowment for the Arts. Funding for the Art of Learning program also comes from the McInerny Foundation.
