2018-2019 Inspiration
Each month participants will create a piece of art based on what inspires them. Teachers will create a body of work showcasing a variety of mediums and methods based on different concepts that inspire the educator both personally and academically. Each class will be designated to share and critique one art piece per participant. Focusing on critiques, open dialog, and diverse techniques, teachers will examine how various outside factors influence and inspire their craft. The course will investigate connections to the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks and explore how many components everyday influence and inspire our art work and as educators we can instill the imaginative nature art can offers all our students.
