**Description of the Presentation:**Art in Action is a three-year federally funded program delivered through ArtsErie currently in it's second year. Teacher/artist collaborations are transforming traditional learning by infusing art making processes across the K-6 curriculum. Art making processes are inquiry-based and fully engage students in critical thinking and creative problem solving. This session parallels “Animating STEM with STEAM: The Art in Action Program” presentation.
