2021–2022 Plan
Leaps’ SPRING programs launch in April. Here’s the scoop.
With artists following state and school protocols, here are the modifications we’ve made for the 2021-2022 school year.
Outdoor Art Making. We are hosting all programs out-of-doors in a schoolyard location specified by teachers. We bring portable tables large enough for a cohort of 6. One Leaps’ artist works with each group. Tables are spaced apart, abiding by state regulations.
Individual Art Satchels. We provide each student with their own art satchel. It holds materials for the project and goes home at the end of the program. They’re filled with magnifiers, colored pencils, pens, and more.
Student Journals as usual. Each child has an individual journal for drawing and idea-building that fits right into the art satchel.
Shortened Programs. Learning looks a bit different from indoor programs. Our classes are 75–90 minutes long, given outdoor temperatures and teacher input.
Leaps’ Release Forms. We require parents to sign a release form (media permission sign-off) so that we can post photos on our blog site and on Leaps’ materials.
Find Leaps of Imagination’s Updates on our Website and Blogs.
WE ARE IN THIS TOGETHER. SAFETY IS OUR TOP PRIORITY.
Each Leaps’ artist follows the state’s and school’s protocol.
Our artists wear masks. Learners are required to wear masks at the present time.
We sanitize all table surfaces.
All materials are individually “packaged.”
We are grateful to Maine Arts Commission, Maine Community Foundation, Davis Family Foundation, Nellie Leaman Taft Foundation, and Onion Foundation for making Leaps of Imagination possible in local schools.
