Designed for 5th-grade students in Salisbury and Rowan County, ARTstops combine a docent-led tour of the professional art galleries, sculpture gardens and studios, with a hands-on art project inspired by a featured exhibition.
Many of the Common Core State Standards for visual literacy, art education, and other subject area curriculum objectives can be satisfied with a tour and related hands-on studio project at Waterworks.
ARTstops are offered free-of-charge to all Rowan-Salisbury Schools 5th grade classes thanks in part to grants funded by the Margaret C. Woodson Foundation.
