California Association of Independent Schools

A professional day in Integrated Visual and Language Arts

Organized by Jeni Anderson, Julia Morgan School for Girls

Title: The Power of Personal Narratives Through Bringing Together Poetry Writing, Printmaking and Bookmaking

Location: Julia Morgan School for Girls

Fee: $50.00 per person (covers all materials and take away teaching resources)

Intended audience: Teachers of visual art and language arts in particular. Others welcome. All grade-levels.

Brief Description: Led by artist-educators Luz Marina Ruiz and Cathleen Micheaels, this workshop will offer a personally and professionally powerful integrated arts experience through written and visual imagery. Participants will write personal narrative poems, create relief prints to accompany their poems, and then bring the two together in books that they will hand-craft. The day-long professional development workshop will include time to share work and discuss ways to integrate such projects into the classroom as well as a break for conversation over a brown bag lunch.
