Wide Horizons is a program of art, science, and action for 7th and 8th grade students on the Gulf Coast. Wide Horizons is inspired by the art, writings, and philosophies of Walter Inglis Anderson. Anderson’s legacy provides a blueprint for connecting ecological and societal cause-and-effect with the agency of the individual to direct civic and environmental action. In partnership with the Grand Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve (NERR) and The University of Southern Mississippi’s Marine Education Center (MEC) and Center for STEM Education, the Museum will host a free, 2.5 day workshop with free CEUs to provide teachers with toolkits and resources to implement Art & Science programming in their classrooms. The teacher workshop is geared towards 7th and 8th grade teachers, but all educators are encouraged to attend. Workshop activities include learning about classroom lessons and activities, a boating field trip with the Marine Education Center, artmaking, engaging with the Wide Horizons student exhibition at the Museum, and a wealth of resources from our project partners. Schedule:
Day 1: at The Walter Anderson Museum of Art from 8:30AM - 3PM
Day 2: at Gulf Coast Research Lab from 8:30AM - 3PM
Day 3: at The Walter Anderson Museum of Art from 8:30AM - 1PM
Space is limited to 15 teachers! Lunch and CEUs will be provided to teachers at no cost. Teachers must attend full workshop to receive CEUs.
