Creative experiences that challenge students to observe, articulate, reimagine, and take risks help build their confidence and leadership capacity. Art can be used to develop new approaches to student leadership, while being fun for students. In “Art-Infused Student Leadership Projects,” panelists discussed how to develop leadership qualities in students through art activities.
In this webinar, Crayola Education Director Cheri Sterman and Art Education Specialist Melissa Hayes will explain how to use art-integration as a teaching strategy that aligns with subjects across the curriculum.
Education leaders know the impact art has on student achievement and engagement. Our challenge is to convince others. Presenters Cheri Sterman and Shauna Kauffman will share insights on how art impacts learning and how to articulate key messages for effective art advocacy.
Explore how art and literacy are intrinsically linked and enrich each other. Participants will read children’s artwork, decode the drawings and paintings for meaning, and use the art as a springboard for many types of writing—descriptive, persuasive, expository, poetry, and narratives.
Learn how the 4 C’s—Connections, Commonalities and Comparisons, Citizenship and Communication, and Cultural insights—are key to global understanding.
In this webinar, attendees will gain a deeper understanding of why collaboration is a 21st century skill and how to foster a stronger creative, collaborative school culture.
Art is a language—in fact it’s children’s first written language and the only universal language that communicates across the globe, regardless of what tongue people speak. Today we live in the “visual age.” Art and design are even more important skills to develop than ever before, as we prepare students to communicate in all sorts of new media. Art-infused education helps students visually communicate thoughts and feelings.
