Creative Infusion: Art + Reuse In The Classroom

Date: March 26, 2011, 9:30 pm
Program: Spring 2011 P-Credit Courses

Description

Creative Infusion (for K-12 educators) consists of hands-on art making workshops that focus on incorporating arts into established curriculum by creatively addressing the Standards and Multiple Blueprint Strands. Sessions include: Art of Reuse – an introduction to materials and problem solving; Games & Game Boards – developing new games and replicating standard games for all subjects with reused materials; Bookmaking – the creation of book structures to complement a multitude of subjects; Theatre Arts (hats& masks);  Puppetry – a spotlight on the communication of stories through various mediums; and Mosaics- the integration of math and visual design. Emphasis will be placed on creating sustainable artwork: that which leaves no negative impact on the environment. Participants will utilize journaling, research and the sharing of best practices to develop lesson plans from course material for a variety of learning styles and levels that are relevant to their school.  

(3P credits) $240+ ASPDP fee ($125) = $365

Each class introduces unique projects and methods for art integration across curriculum areas. Sessions provide differentiation for multiple grade/skill levels, and give participants creative techniques for utilizing low or no cost supplies.

Participants MUST register for credit through the New York City After School Professional Development Program at: http://schools.nyc.gov/Teachers/aspdp or as a non-credit participant here on our website.
