The Artists-in-the-Classroom Project: A Closer Look.

Fogg, Terry L.; Smith, Marilyn

Educational Forum, v66 n1 p60-70 Fall 2001

Interviews with teachers involved in an elementary school's artists-in-the-classroom project revealed a range of attitudes: enthusiasts, supporters, skeptics, individualists, and tired teachers. Test scores, school climate, and attendance improved. Teachers' willingness to participate was crucial to the project's success. (Contains 23 references.) (SK)
