We spent a beautiful morning in the new MS art room of the Katherine Delmar Burke school. A big thank you to Adra Valentine from Marin Country Day for starting the group and our hosts Lori Now & Yara Helman.
After introductions participants proposed topics for small group break out discussions. There were too many amazing conversations to relay, but here are a few highlights:
One group discussed project ideas: felting (perhaps even a demo day of projects), cut and fold projects, each teacher had a project they mentioned, teaching strategies like project zeros critique rubric. Town school shared their art calendar (HRS, plans to steal this idea). : )
Another group focused on lessons with a social justice & sustainability core. Stacey Goodman (Athenian School) shared an inspiring website he has been working on at www.participationart.com which is well worth checking out, and will be the subject of it's own post.
We wrapped up by planning this blog and future meetings.
