Teacher Professional Development Workshop: Exploring Symbolism

In this session, teachers will receive a tour of Greg Ito: Motion Pictures and explore the complexities of interpreting symbols in art. Participants will examine how representation through objects communicates messages and emotions, encouraging students to engage critically with visual media. Discover strategies to help learners articulate their own interpretations while appreciating the multiplicity of perspectives that art offers. 

Wine and light refreshments will be provided.

This session will take place at LBMA on Ocean Blvd.

The Long Beach Museum of Art Professional Development is generously supported by The Earl B. and Loraine H. Miller Foundation
