I would like to share my expertise gathered over 20+ years of teaching visual arts and DT to primary, elementary, and middle school students. Building a community of passionate teachers who are interested in visual arts and its integration as well as an exchange of ideas is the main reason to attend this workshop. We will be sharing expertise on how to design successful stand-alone units in visual arts as well as integrating art into the PYP program and other subjects such as math, music, language development, and storytelling. A full-day workshop will include a practical exploration of materials and the development of units relevant to the curriculum framework being offered in participants’s schools. Within the workshop participants will be given examples of successful/unsuccessful art integration and invited to share their own stories of teaching.
