Dala Sparks, Speech and Language Pathologist and Kim Soule, Roster Artist for Arts for All KY presented their recent Arts for All Inclusion Award, "Chihuly" at The 2023 Kentucky Exceptional Children's Conference in Louisville Ky on November 20, 2023. Participants were teachers from all over the state. Kim Soule showed them the google slide that was used at Shacklette Elementary to introduce the artist Dale Chihuly and then gave some initial instructions about the project of using recycled materials and plastic plates to create the look of glass. She also showed the teachers how to access the Arts for All Ky website and the Inclusion Art Award application. Dala Sparks then presented beautifully about the outcomes of the project with photos of the installations and data on the pre/post test, reflections, and surveys. As always when the teachers were actually creating they were brainstorming with each other as well as with the presenters on adaptations for special needs students, how to collect materials and possibilities of implementing this teaching at their own unique school and teaching situations. Hands on learning like this is so valuable for the teachers!
