What is the Intention of Sharing Art?

Sharing Art's intent is for students to understand that the art projects they do in class can lead to a career or even display in a museum. The series demonstrates real-world applications of the techniques taught in art classes.

What is the ITV Series?

PBS 45 & 49's Sharing Art consists of fifteen 15-minute programs for students in grades 5 - 10. The first ten episodes of the series feature northeast Ohio art museums, artists and schools. The episodes include the following:

• An introduction to a museum piece of art
• A local artist explaining how he or she does comparable art
• Students in a local classroom doing a similar project

Each of the last five episodes spotlights two artists demonstrating and explaining their work (no classroom projects).
