third space

A project that transforms a commonly used area of a school, and the students’ learning experience, through the installation of a work of art created by an established local artist. 

View the above playlist of all third space documentaries produced by 12 Stars Media.

Arts for Learning partners with schools in Indiana to interject art not only into the physical space but also into the curriculum. A large-scale artwork is created by a professional local artist and serves to challenge students to discover, uncover, and construct their own meaning. Guided by their teachers and Arts for Learning teaching artists, students acknowledge the extraordinary and experience surprise, wonderment, and curiosity.
