Hosting an Art Walk in your school will not only celebrate student artwork, but also provide another opportunity for student/parent/community interaction and bonding.  Creating an atmosphere of partnership generated by collaboration empowers parents and the student.  Art is a rich way to nurture the inherent potential of many children.  Celebrating art and utilizing parent engagement demonstrates the value of all aspects of learning. Students also have the opportunity to acknowledge the work of their peers, while showcasing their own work.  Providing this social platform for families initiates positive communication between all parties involved.  The informal structure is less threatening and therefore encourages and allows everyone to engage without such emphasis on formal assessment.
