New! for Fall 2010 Early Childhood Art Focus Group
Have you noticed how engaged your students are in their artmaking and wondered about how to put into words the great learning you see?
Are you curious about the theory behind the value of process-based art for young children?
Are you looking for new ideas for open-ended art activities to try in your classroom, center or home?
AND
Do you have successes working with young children and art materials that you would like to share and celebrate?
The Early Childhood Art Focus Group is for YOU
The group will meet 5 times over the course of the 2010-2011 school year and each week will introduce an art material, offer an experiential and time for brainstorming classroom applications as well as sharing ideas, challenges and successes making art with young children.
Individuals and/or schools may enroll. Enrollment is $25 per meeting or $100 for all 5 meetings. If you are unable to attend a meeting, feel free to encourage a friend to attend in your place. Schools may enroll one teacher for all 5 sessions or send a different staff member to each. The idea is to create dialogue and ideas to take back to our unique settings and then bring back further discussion for the group.
Meetings will be October 5, November 8, December 7, January 4 and February 8
We will meet from 7-8:30 pm
