Integrating the Arts Throughout Your Curriculum
Instructor: Beth Ann Short MA, ATR-BC
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.
I. Translation Through Representation
Fine art experiential: Drawing Materials
Saturday, January 28, 2012 from 9am-4pm
Metaphors are created so one can better internally visualize and compare to another concept from which one can draw his or her own conclusion.  Using the expressive arts in translation creates lasting learning and rules out memorization and short-term learning.  Participants in this workshop will explore the use of fine art throughout their curriculum to translate lessons into active representation.  Participants will also learn the fine art properties of pencils, colored pencils, pastels, oil pastels and markers in the art experiential.
Workshops are $100 per session individually or $700 for the entire series.

Learn to sew!
Leader: Amanda Myers
Fundamentals of garment construction and machine sewing.
In this class we will learn the basics of making a garment from start to finish. For years I have heard my friends lament that they never learned to sew, or others who could wing it but never learned the real deal. We will be working with fabric, patterns and oh yes, the sewing machine to send you home with your custom pattern ,a simple top or skirt, and the skills to re-create it and the confidence and excitement to keep sewing. I will teach you the essential rules you need to know for a stress free experience, including choosing the right project for your skill level.. Beginners and those with some experience are welcome. This class could grow into an on going clinic if enough are interested.
