Akron Art Museum's Exclusive Educator Event with Cathy Weisman Topal


Beautiful Stuff: Discovering the Power of Materials

with author and educator
Cathy Weisman Topal

Saturday, April 12th, 2014 from 11:30AM to 3:30PM
at the Akron Art Museum

"Exploring materials is an evocative experience. It stimulates the imagination and promotes learning. It invites children to tell stories and develop games. It inspires interactions between children. It serves as a bridge to other avenues of creative expression- drawing, collage, sculpture, construction.”

Cathy Weisman Topal will present the ideas and concepts behind her fascinating book, Beautiful Stuff. Learn how this process can develop critical thinking skills and creativity in your students. Then, try the process yourself as you sort, arrange, match, and discover the power of materials.

Cost is $25 per person and includes a lecture, light refreshments, and a hands-on workshop, as well as admission to the museum’s galleries.
