Workshop Description
Teaching artists draw on a skill set that is distinctly different from day-to-day studio work. In this fast-paced session, we will look at tips and tricks for choosing grade-appropriate projects, preparing materials, and working with large groups of students who bring different learning styles to the classroom.
Book arts can help students engage deeply and creatively with a wide range of curricula, and contracting with schools and organizations that serve kids can provide an important revenue stream for working artists. Bringing your A game to the classroom can make a better experience for all.
