Artist-During the Residency
Artist - During the Residency
Reveal yourself as a professional artist:
- Arrange to present your professional work and share your artistic vision at the beginning of the residency.
- Give the residency your full attention. Challenge yourself in each residency.
- Develop activities that allow participants to work creatively as artists.
- Resist a product-oriented residency that would limit exploration and reflection through the artistic process.
- Use studio time for your own artistic work. Schedule open studio time for observations, when appropriate.
- Be an ambassador for your art discipline, arts education and the OAC.
Promote Open Dialogue and Clear Communication:
- Be accessible; talk with students, teachers and community members beyond formally scheduled contact sessions.
- Maintain open communications. Talk to teachers, staff, the on-site coordinator and administrators daily to share ideas and discuss residency progress.
- Share your residency experience via social media outlets such as
Facebook.
- Voice your concerns and needs regarding scheduling, supplies and volunteer help.
- Be open and seek constructive criticism from residency participants.
- Act to resolve misunderstandings or potential problems immediately. Inform the Arts Learning staff of any major concerns.
- Ask the on-site coordinator to ensure that all necessary paperwork has been provided to process your payment on time.
- Provide resource materials and ideas for follow-up activities. Ask the on-site coordinator to help by copying originals for handouts.
Encourage and Participate in Reflection:
- Prepare to talk with learners to help students, teachers and staff understand what they are doing and how their learning connects to other experiences.
- Help the site implement reflection strategies such as journals, videos and group discussions.
- Participate in a closure meeting at the conclusion of the residency. Identify the residency's strengths and weaknesses and make recommendations for future programs.
Be Respectful and Flexible:
- Be an appreciative and considerate guest.
- Respect, and do your best to adhere to, the residency schedule. Discuss proposed amendments with the on-site coordinator. Confer with the Arts Learning staff if significant changes are proposed.
- Be flexible if change is needed. Remember that new ideas may emerge as the residency develops. As a result, the residency plan may need to be changed.
