Design Committee Guidelines
Projects will be presented in 5 minutes to Representatives, and followed by two minutes of questions and answers based on the following points:
Art : What is the art lesson and what will the students learn?
Creativity : How does this project allow a child to freely create an original design? Is there room for self-expression and exploration?
Design : This project should be easy to present to the children by the docent volunteers and no more than one hour to present and complete.
Process : Sometimes the experience of making art and where it takes us is as important as the end result.
Technique : Please include an explanation of the media. Why do we use these materials? Are materials appropriate to budget and safety requirements?
Experience
In the non-judgmental atmosphere of HOA, the project must be a success in the eyes and minds of the children. Is this a tested, no-fail project with kid samples?
Adaptability : This project will be presented to K through 8, middle and high school students and senior citizens. Can we adapt this project to fit different restraints?
Connections : Briefly connect us with the basic concepts and/or cultural heritage. Are there related museums, galleries or exhibits to see in Southern California? Suggest music that expresses the mood of this project. Introduce new terms and vocabulary.
Cost : Project materials should be relatively inexpensive with a budget of approximately $1.10 per student.
