Supplement your students' field trip with an onsite artmaking workshop. Each workshop is one hour long and can accommodate up to 30 students.
The workshops are designed to facilitate an open studio process, modeled after the Teaching for Artistic Behavior philosophy. In a choice-based studio, students learn behaviors and strategies artists use by following their own interests and by selecting their choice of message, materials, and process.
Each workshop begins with students choosing a creative challenge connected to their in-gallery theme, then working through the creative process from planning to reflecting. Students can share their work with us using our digital gallery and take their work home with them to share with their own community!
What are educators saying?
Students need the opportunity to explore their own ideas and interests! When we (as adults and teachers) allow space for students own interests + validate those interests, the power dynamic shifts.
Allowing students to learn the creative process allows them to have tangible life skills like project management, critical thinking, creative problem solving, and confidently expressing self.
