Rigor in the art room!

This hands-on, interactive professional development workshop will walk art educators through using a 10-day curriculum creating a middle school art project. Artonauts' lessons scaffold to build skills throughout the unit, integrating theme, vocabulary, skills practice, project refinement and self-reflection based on rubrics. 
  • Learn how to use data every day in the art room through rubrics that help students gauge and measure their success and understanding. 
  • Leave with a tangible, ready to use project.
  • Discover how easy it is to use assessment and data in your art room to help build your rigor and help students complete more rigorous projects!

STEAM

Science, Technology, Engineering, ART, & Math is the new acronym taking the education world by storm. Integrating these fields seamlessly is something art educators have been doing for years. Let us show you how you, or the art educators you work with, are already integrating science, technology, engineering and math into their art curriculum, and learn how you can start implementing these ideas with more intentional focus to make an impact!
  • Learn how Science, Technology, Engineering and Math can help support the ART curriculum.
  • Discover ways you can intentionally embed these fields into your art curriculum.

INSPIRATION Vs. IMITATION

"Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery".
​
But when does imitation start negatively impacting teaching creativity and independent thought? Learn how to use master works and art history to inspire your students to take what they've learned and apply it into higher level skills and their own independent work.
  • Discover ways to teach techniques, themes, and media from masterworks to inspire students to apply these ideas to their own work.
  • Learn the difference between inspiration and imitation in the visual arts.
  • Leave with project ideas that are rigorous and engaging.
