Professional Development for Educators

Design mixed media animal tangrams for hands-on learning in math. Learn how students can have fun representing and solving problems using addition and subtraction, reasoning with shapes and their attributes, and classifying objects.

The basic needs of living things and how they interact with their environment are explored through art. Learn how to guide your students through a camouflage project and create classroom creatures that blend into the classroom “habitat.”

Learn how to use art to help students understand how characters are developed. This workshop will help you guide students through understanding how characters are depicted visually using lines, colors, and shapes to analyze and express feelings.

Spatial thinking, history, and geography are explored through the art of map-making. Use art supplies in fun and creative ways to create a map and symbols for familiar places in the school.

Arts Impact artist-educators, trained in integrating art with SEL, will share games and a hands-on project to teach students the importance of being an ally. This workshop will show educators how to use art to build empathy and inclusiveness within a classroom community.

Learn how to help students build connections with peers through a hands-on collaborative art project. The project celebrates students’ individuality as they get to know and appreciate the diversity of others.

Unleash your creativity, share ideas, and have fun with other art teachers while you create your own mixed media collage using gelli plates, decorative paper, and other materials.

Unwind and get inspired as you recycle and reuse an old hardcover book to create your own art journal.  Learn bookmaking techniques and explore the creative process of journaling using bookmaking tools, recycled hardcover books, fabric, decorative paper, and other art supplies.
