"Visual Art Studio as Active Learning Laboratory"

Instructor: Chris Triner 

Malone University / Johnson Center (next to the Canton main post office on Market Ave.)

8:30 am - 2:30 pm  - June 15 - 19, 2015 

This course is for art educators in grades 6-12, and those wanting to involve more arts education into your classroom. Are you looking to have time to further study “active learning” techniques? Want in-studio time to site test lessons AND time to dialogue with fellow professionals about their effective classroom strategies? This week-long course offers how to incorporate writing, brainstorming, response (critique), simple technology, and art history as a way to further motivate your learners to fully understand lessons. Studio time will be stressed. A daily critique of your own work and how it can impact your students will round out each day. A supply fee of $30 will be collected on the first day. (2 graduate credit hours)
