K-12 Art Integration - Teachers/Parents

Service Description

2-day Intensive Workshop: Saturday & Sunday, July 11 - July12, 9:00am - 5:00pm In this 2-day workshop, educators and art parents will learn how to integrate art into all core subjects, creating fun, engaging, meaningful lessons that dramatically increase learning outcomes and engage students. Plus, it's more fun for you, too! Best of all, you don't have to consider yourself an artist to be a teacher who integrates art. We'll learn why the Arts are so important for building 21st Century skills, explore several mediums, break through the "I can't make art" barriers, and learn how to develop integrated lesson plans. Candy Canning, former Boise State Art Education professor, Catalyst Founder & Director and professional artist, will be your guide. All supplies will be provided. We'll have a 30 minute break for lunch each day. 1 PD/BSU credit can be claimed at the end of this 2-day course. A separate fee is required to Boise State for credit. Please bring the following with you: - A mixed-media sketchbook (96lb paper or higher) for taking notes and exploring mediums - A water bottle (stay hydrated!) - A sack lunch (or have your meal delivered to the classroom at 12:30pm)
