ART STUDIOS INTENSIVES

MAXIMIZING THE POWER OF THE ARTS IN YOUR SCHOOL

Each ArtsPowered Schools participant will choose and participate in ONE Art Studio Intensive. These daily sessions are will immerse you in an art form as a creator of art. You will gain experience in working with artistic mediums – using the artistic process to develop skills, express ideas, and reflect on and refine your work. Studio teaching artists will model “teaching for meaning” and help participants gain skills in developing dynamic arts units that they can use in their classrooms. Select your first and second choice. Enrollment will be decided on a first-come basis.

Select One (Include your 1st and 2nd choice)
  1. Creative Movement - Creative Learning
    teaching artist Deb Brzoska

    Ever had at least one kinesthetic student - you know, the kid who wiggles, darts and chases at every chance? This studio session will help teachers learn to channel the physical energy of children into creative learning. Topics include: the basic elements and content standards of dance; making space and time for movement in the elementary classroom; and using creative movement to enhance learning in other subjects.

    As a national teaching artist for The Kennedy Center, Deborah Brzoska has presented professional development for teachers and artists internationally and in nearly all fifty states. She developed a district-wide dance education program in the Vancouver, Washington schools where creative movement is integrated with other core subjects. Deb promotes a fun environment where everyone can experience the joy of moving.


  2. Visual Art: Observation and the Creative Process
    teaching artist Meredith Essex

    Experience how drawing from observation in your daily life and daily classroom can illuminate teaching and learning across all disciplines: A field journal/sketchbook becomes a common thread linking the world we see with concepts from math, science, social studies, reading, writing and beyond. With a focus on nature and landscape, explore a range of drawing materials including graphite sticks, conte crayon and watercolor pencils. Develop skills and understandings of line, shape, texture, value, color and space in a confidence-building learning environment. Use visual information recorded in your field journal/sketchbook to inform a culminating creative process where an art work is conceptualized, created, refined and exhibited.

    Meredith Essex is a visual artist who has exhibited her art throughout the Northwest for over 25 years. She has inspired people to discover their creative selves and find confidence in making and teaching art. She has a long history as teaching artist, teacher trainer and mentor. She has been lead visual artist for Arts Impact and has written arts-infused curricular materials for Washington schools and museums.


  3. Making it Real: Drawing, Painting & Sculpture
    teaching artist Neida Bangerter

    This visual art studio will explore drawing, painting, sculpture. Learn how to include formal elements and principles of composition used by artists in your own work. Learn how to portray space and proportion using linear perspective when drawing common inanimate objects and tips on anatomy that will transform your stick figure into a realistic human form. Further exploration will include printmaking, collage and clay. Connections to arts integration, standards, and assessment will envelop our work and generate creative opportunities for you to use in your classroom.

    Neida Bangerter comes to our institute from Hawaii where she is Exhibits Programs Manager at the Maui Arts & Cultural Center. She is on the advanced teaching artist roster for the Hawaii State Foundation on Culture & the Arts and a presenter of professional development workshops for teachers and artists as well as a curriculum writer for the Arts First Toolkit. Her own work can be seen in numerous exhibitions, collections, and galleries in Hawaii.
