Christan Allen and Karen Strachen work together in the education department for the Dixon Gallery and Gardens in Memphis, Tennessee. Allen is the outreach coordinator and sees more than twenty thousand students each year through the Dixon’s long-standing Art to Grow program. Strachen is the youth programs coordinator and develops and facilitates innovative onsite programming through field trips, professional development opportunities, and ongoing educational experiences. They work together to unite art and horticulture in new and accessible ways for all learners.
This hands-on workshop will introduce elementary and middle school art educators to three adaptable lessons that use paper, a drawing utensil, and a pair of scissors. Participants will also explore online and in-person resources that are provided by the Dixon Gallery and Gardens in Memphis, Tennessee, for educators and students in kindergarten through twelfth grade.
