Tips and Tricks to Integrate Visual Art in the Elementary Classroom

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION:

For many teachers, integration with the arts can seem daunting when faced with limited time and limited knowledge of a given art form. Experience the joy that comes (for both teacher and student) by learning simple art strategies that can be used across grade levels and subjects. Workshop participants will learn how to effortlessly use visual art to engage students in math, language arts, science, and social studies by using common classroom materials to create, analyze, and study art.
