Creative pARTners

Creative pARTners teaches participants to apply creative problem-solving skills and innovative design, through a weekly, art-based enrichment program that aims to promote positive self-esteem and inspire interest in the world of art.Creative pARTners is the first and longest running Art Expresssion program. Participants will be introduced to art concepts that promote problem-solving, sharing and social skills development. Offered in local school districts including: Keystone Oaks, Mt. Lebanon, Greensburg- Salem, South Allegheny and Central Greene, experientials for the program have been developed based on student needs, as well as, school district, art facilitator and faculty supervisor feedback.  The program has shown an increase in participant’s confidence, problem-solving and overall focus. Creative pARTners strives to be an outlet for children who may be over active for an array of reasons. who are encouraged to express themselves during the sessions, often allowing Art Facilitators to assess the underlying problems that may lead to a child’s misbehavior.
Creative pARTners yields an emotional impact on group participants, leading students to internalize the ideas of friendship and confidence and allowing students to feel comfortable with their peers and faculty facilitators outside of the program. This project gives School Districts an opportunity to support the personal growth of student participants in the program by helping them to positively engage with peers during these art classes, while developing the fundamental creativity and cognitive skills needed to explore the world of art.
