Integrating art education into the classroom is the basis of many of the residencies that Karl Knudson teaches. His goals are to expose students to new artistic techniques, to show teachers how they can utilize art when teaching other subjects, and to encourage everyone's creativity. Students and teachers can then use art to encourage learning in subjects such as math, history, science and social studies.

Karl has worked with a number of schools and art camps in Oregon and Colorado. His residencies have lasted from a few days to four weeks, and his projects have ranged from "knee bowls" with kindergartners to a 45 foot tile mural that was created in collaboration with an entire elementary school.
