"Making it" as an artist or simply making our own art is something many of us want to do. And, in our field, we most likely want to do this while simultaneously having a meaningful career as an art educator. Did you know that you already hold the key to making this happen? It's your story!
Learn innovative approaches to help you tell your story through your own work as an artist while embarking on some truly magical and collaborative projects with your students.
This webinar begins with an introduction to Michael Bell's worldwide movement called 31 Nights. This project will not only ignite passion in you and your students, but it can literally unlock the doors to your own artmaking process. Find your signature style and authentic voice in your artwork and your teaching.
Additionally, you'll explore another global project, tet[R]ad: Draw & Play. This international artmaking exchange project is envisioned and developed by longtime makers of creative mischief and innovative mayhem, David R. Modler and Samuel H. Peck. The ultimate goal of this ongoing project is to foster Personal Learning Networks through one-to-one visual journal/diary collaborations. tet[R]ad includes teachers, students, and artists, as well as others from the broader community. Participants openly and playfully share their drawings, writings, collages, opinions, and experiences as they make connections through collaboration and dialogue with artistic accomplices.
Become part of the cultivation of these creative communities while fostering your own creativity as an artist and educator—making global connections in the process! All are welcome!
