Through a variety of hands-on activities, classroom teachers will develop new teaching techniques to encourage creative problem solving and enhance specific classroom curriculum through the integration of the visual arts, drama, dance and/or music.

• Using a Work of Art as a Text for Learning — Teachers will explore how experiential learning and the core principles of inquiry, art-making, careful attending, context and reflection will awaken student’s excitement for learning. This approach to teaching engages students’ imagination, inspires creativity and develops perception and critical thinking skills.
