Art Appreciation Master Class LIVE! - Dallas, TX July 27, 2018

I’m looking forward to holding a live professional development for art teachers on Friday, July 27, 2017 in Dallas, TX!

What?

We will study creative ways to engage our students with works of art–from discussion to to writing to creative learning activities. In addition to practicing, modeling, and discussing the techniques, you will also have a chance to work with your colleagues to come up with your own learning activities in the art museum.

Because the workshop will be highly collaborative and discussion-based with a lot of hands-on, minds-on activities, the group will be small. I will only be accepting 25 participants.

I can’t wait to work with you!

Who?

This workshop is for:

Art teachers
Classroom teachers who want to incorporate more art discussion into their lessons
Home Educators
Museum Educators

The strategies we cover will work for any age group or level, so all are welcome who work with children!

When?

Friday, July 27, 2017, 10:00 am – 5:00pm

Where?

The Meadows Museum, SMU Campus
5900 Bishop Blvd, Dallas, TX 75205

** This workshop is not a Meadows Museum program. **

How much does it cost?

The workshop costs $169. This includes the full day workshop and materials, coffee/pastries in the morning, and lunch.

Testimonials

I like how this program, unlike other art class resource membership programs, feels authentic. It's like art matters more here, and not fancy flash-in-the-pan trendiness. The goal of Art Class Curator seemed to be helping kids develop a lifelong love and art appreciation versus "Hey, look. I painted this fish."

Your questions are helping me to delve into much deeper learning, and my students are getting better at discussion-and then, making connections in their own work. Art Class Curator is awesome!

Interestingly, my lower performing classes really get engaged in these [lessons] and come away with some profound thoughts!

I had the most amazing 6th grade class today. They were jumping out of their seats with hands raised just to respond and give input. It was as if I was waving candy in front of them! They saw more and more and the ideas and interpretations unfolded. So cool!!! This is what makes teaching art so wonderful – thank you!!

I just wanted to thank you for the invaluable resource you have through Art Class Curator. Not only do you have thought provoking activities and discussion prompts, but it saves me so much time in preparing things for myself! I feel like I’ve only scratched the surface with your site.
