Integrating the Arts Throughout Your Curriculum
Instructor: Beth Ann Short MA, ATR-BC
This series of workshops have been designed to help elementary school educators increase confidence and enthusiasm when integrating the expressive arts throughout their curriculum. Art can be incorporated into any area of the educational curriculum and can be a valuable tool when supporting learning differences in students. These workshops will offer techniques in using fine art media through experientials that can be applied in classrooms. Each workshop is a weekend day from 9am-4pm with an hour break for lunch. Participants are encouraged to pack a lunch, however there are many local restaurants in walking distance.
II. Assessment and the Arts
Fine art experiential: Acrylic Painting and Color Theory
Saturday, February 25th, 2012 from 9am-4pm
The expressive arts can be vital in assessing the progress of a student. The arts can broaden the view of a child’s progress and provide the teacher with inner thoughts, concerns, dreams and hopes. In this workshop, participants will explore the importance of student self-assessment as well as come away with strategies and tools to collect evidence to support youth with learning differences. Sources will include Piaget and Lowenfeld. Participants will also explore acrylic painting and color theory.
Cost: Workshops are $100 per session individually or $700 for the entire series.
**All art materials are included in the cost.
