This highly collaborative workshop invites you to engage your students in making essential connections between themselves and artists of their choice. The aim is to gain insights into the artists’ backstories and artwork via meaningful imagery, empathy mapping, purposeful storytelling, and intentional problem-solving. You will experience how students can learn to become reflectively aware of their sensory system via environmental, cognitive, and emotional inputs that influence and trigger reactions, responses, behaviors, and decisions. We will use comparative thinking skills to discover insightful similarities and differences, all invaluable learning strategies in the art room and in life.
