Artist in Residence Longer school visits, from two days to three weeks (or more) may be booked. Workshops for single and double classrooms are available in the domains of animation, drawing, painting, printmaking and mural making. Residencies may also integrate art with language arts, social studies, math, multicultural study and science. Each residency will be designed to respond to the specific needs and wants of a particular school community. For example, first and second graders at Forest Hills Elementary (Lake Oswego, Oregon) recently created garden pictures that showed a sophisticated understanding of plant growth. Third and fourth graders created prints of animals from a variety of phyla (amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals) while fifth and sixth graders developed a deeper understanding of geometry and spatial thinking by producing imaginative arrangements of cones, cylinders, spheres, pyramids and cubes.

I honestly believe that there's no subject that Roger can't tie into art..." Steve Mauritz, Principal Uplands Elementary Lake Oswego,Oregon "Watching Roger teach is like seeing a Pied Piper of art. All one has to do is mention Roger's name in our school and children cheer! Art instruction a la Roger Kukes is a wonderful booster of self-confidence for both teachers and children." Katy McCarney, Principal Willamette Primary West Linn, OR "Roger is a master teacher. He demonstrated how art can enhance, enrich and enliven the basic curriculum...I could not begin to list all the areas where student achievement will be improved as a result of his visit." Larry Eklund, Principal White Cliff Elementary Ketchikan, AK Dear Roger Kukes, I was SO happy when you came to our school! I thought I fell into heaven. It was a dream come true to meet a real artist! I learned a lot and I thank you very much! I really liked the time we shaded the drawing. Sincerely, Matthew K. 5th grade West Seattle Christian School
