Students Discover a Passion for Connecting with Artists.
Friday February 28, 2025 8:00am - 9:15am CST
Room 109
Feedback Survey
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.

This is not a sit-and-get. In this session, you will be guided through creative, transdisciplinary activities to nurture, grow, and combine your most passionate ideas with the standards you teach and the people you teach with. You will decompartmentalize the arts as you build bridges between school subjects. The goal of this workshop is to leave with a robust, workable, cross-curricular passion project that you can use with confidence. Our design protocol, combined with generative AI tools will help your ideas grow legs and walk out of the room with you. What we’ll bring: a variety of art materials to prototype your plan, AI-assisted creative tools, print and digital resources to help you grow your ideas, a library of cross-curricular projects to browse, and a shareable version of our design protocol that can be used with staff or students. What you’ll bring: a passion for artistic thought, and process, and an openness to push ideas out of your comfort zone.

Do you believe oil pastels are glorified crayons and best used as a medium for the younger grades? No so! In this workshop I'll show you lessons that will teach the importance of value over color and how to manipulate oil pastels as a painting medium. You will create the first two projects I use prior to my students working on their final oil pastel work. Students are always surprised at what they accomplish during this unit and I'm sure you will be too!
