Art of the Natural World: Serious STEAM engagement
Explore how science and art work together to enhance understanding in the classroom. During this five-day workshop, we’ll delve deep into how students make connections between concepts, hone our observation and problem-solving skills, learn about artists, their media and practice, and use the world around us to illustrate, imagine, explore, create, and interpret the beauty of our planet. Gain skills and confidence to incorporate art making – from drawing and illustration to printmaking, sculpture and photography – into lessons on biology, zoology, botany, anatomy, physics and more.
Curator of Education, Louise Palermo will co-present the Institute with Colleen Schafroth, Executive Director as lead instructor. Guest artists include Molly Gaston Johnson, Christopher Pothier, Marjorie Williams-Smith, Duncan Berry and more.
Cost: $230 museum members / $245 non-members. Advance registration required.
Credit available through Antioch University Seattle for an additional fee. Continuing Education Clock-hours are available; scholarship available.
