Integrating the Arts Throughout Your Curriculum

This series of workshops have been designed to help elementary school educators increase confidence and enthusiasm when integrating the expressive arts throughout their curriculum. Art can be incorporated into any area of the educational curriculum and can be a valuable tool when supporting learning differences in students. These workshops will offer techniques in using fine art media through experientials that can be applied in classrooms. Each workshop is a weekend day from 9am-4pm with an hour break for lunch. Participants are encouraged to pack a lunch, however there are many local restaurants in walking distance.
