Connections are often the key to student success, so join the presenter in these sessions and take a deep dive into connecting, creating, and reflecting. Participants will explore the creative process through painting and mixed media and will leave with ideas they can take into their classrooms. This interactive workshop will explore a variety of traditional and non-traditional materials and will offer secondary art educators the opportunity to create work for themselves as well as examples to use in their school studios. Topics will include how to grow students’ skills, artistry, and creativity.
This interlude session provides time for smaller group discussion with the instructor.
