The EcoArts residency, known as Arts EnviroChallenger in the Tacoma School District, provides relevant learning for PreK-5 students to infuse visual arts and environmental science. Students learn about the Five R’s—Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Respect, and Responsibility—and make high quality art projects using materials that would otherwise be destined for the landfill.
Each residency consists of four one-hour classroom visits by a master teaching artist who guides students in creating treasure from trash, excites students about being stewards of their environment, and designing “EcoBots” to save the environment.
