STAR Collaboration at Eagle Hill School
STAR Collaboration at Eagle Hill School
The STAR Collaboration (Students, Teachers, Artists-in-Residence) at Eagle Hill School advances artistic approaches to education by connecting diverse learners to accomplished artists who live, learn, and create new work on campus. The STAR Collaboration invites artists of all disciplines to come away for an extended period of focused art work, and to come together with our students and teachers to facilitate authentic learning adventures. STAR residents can be at any stage of their careers -- emerging and well-established artists, art teachers, and those returning to former careers in the arts. STAR artists are educators-at-heart, who want to work with young people while expanding the definition of what being an educator means; who are interested in novel, interdisciplinary educational approaches; and who thrive on collaboration with others.
