Inspiring Vision is a didactic workshop where educators will experience how to stimulate lively discussions and open dialogues with their students, using photography as a medium. Educators will also experience how looking and talking about art builds listening, critical thinking and communication skills in their students. This workshop is open to all educators, including K-12 teachers, home school educators, teaching artists and parent art docents.
During the hands-on workshop, educators will:
- Engage in lively discussions about the art on view in three photography exhibitions with the Henry’s education and curatorial staff.
- Learn effective and engaging ways to take students on a visual journey through a range of photographs and ideas in both a classroom and art museum setting.
- Experience how to infuse art into the curriculum through standards based visual art, language arts and social studies classroom ready lessons.
- Take time to analyze their curriculum and discuss with other teachers effective ways to include the art on view in character education, life skills, social studies, language arts, and history lessons.
- Receive the Inspiring Vision: Looking at Photography Curriculum Guide on a CD-ROM that includes supplemental information, interdisciplinary lessons and images that can be used in the classroom.
Education programs at the Henry Art Gallery are made possible with generous support from the Paul G. Allen Family Foundation, ArtsFund, The Boeing Company, PONCHO, 4Culture/King County Lodging Tax Fund, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the Washington States Arts Commission.
