Call for Educators! Discover how to infuse art into your curriculum. Find new ways to get students to feel connected to contemporary art. Learn how to teach students of all ages how to look at art and to talk about art.

Two dynamic exhibitions will be used as springboards for leading discussions with students. Vortexhibition Polyphonica: Opus III is an accessible exhibition where contemporary art mixes with textiles, historical prints, and craft objects in new and unexpected ways. Educators will also explore the evolving attitudes toward photographic imagery through the artworks in the Image Transfer: Pictures in a Remix Culture exhibition. During the workshop, educators will:

• Engage in lively discussions about the art on view with the Henry’s education and curatorial staff.
• Learn innovative ways to take students on a visual journey through a range of art and ideas.
• Analyze their curriculum and explore ways to infuse the art on view into character education, life skills, social studies, language arts, and history.
• Participate in K-12 classroom ready art lessons in the Education Studio.
• Receive a CD-ROM and packet that include supplemental information, interdisciplinary lessons and images from both exhibitions that can be used in the classroom.

Workshop is available for 4 clock hours. $15 workshop fee includes materials and lunch. Space is limited. RSVP by Friday, March 12, 2010 by registering at (Event Brite) or email mariar@henryart.org or call 206-221-4980.
