Arts Infusion

a beginning, middle, end collage...completed in about 30 min.

This past Friday I attended a great arts-teaching workshop as hosted by Methow Arts and sponsored by the Washington State Art Commission. Arts Education specialists Susy Watts and Meredith Essex from Arts Impact took us through several lessons on Arts Infused Learning and a variety of strategies for integrating art into k-8 curriculums. As a practicing artist, a certified teacher, and as an author/illustrator who visits a lot of schools, it was a great time to reflect on what I already do and to gather a few tips to make my own programs even better!
