These sessions provide teachers with practical tools and instructional strategies to incorporate music, theater, dance, and visual arts into other academic areas like math, science, and literacy. Sign up to receive more information on these opportunities:
The Art of Paper Sculpture: Let's Build! For Teachers Grades K-12
Good design like good construction is an essential element in any engineering or art experience. In this workshop, we will be manipulating paper by folding, bending, and cutting to create 3-dimensional works of art that represent objectives from across the curriculum. Whether you utilize a STEAM curriculum in your classroom or want students to discover the connection between the arts and other subject areas, Let's Build will actively engage you in a deep art experience designed to give you all the knowledge and skills you need to present an art lesson with confidence. Give your builders and non-traditional learners a voice with paper sculpture.
Think Like a Scientist: Observational Drawing For Teachers Grades 3-12
Scientists, engineers, architects, and many other professionals rely on observational drawing to accurately record and communicate important information. This arts
integration workshop engages teachers in a hands-on strategy that teaches students to closely observe and draw objects from nature-building a deep, detailed understanding of patterns, structures, and functions. Far from a skill reserved for gifted artists, scientific observational drawing is accessible to all students through the development of simple, powerful habits.
Join us as we turn STEM into STEAM!
Think Like a Scientist: Developing Science Practices Through Visual Art For Science Teachers Grades 2-8
In this arts integration workshop, learn how to view the scientific world through the eyes of an artist! Explore ways to help students read visual art to develop their use of several science practices, such as careful observation, analyzing and interpreting data, and developing an explanation based on evidence. The elements of art are used to effectively teach the skills of observing and describing so that scientific conclusions and explanations become even more detailed. You don't want to miss this opportunity to learn an engaging process that takes you from STEM to STEAM!
FACILITATOR: TBD
This workshop will take place from 9:00 am - 12:00 pm.
