The
“Together Through Art”
workshop will enhance the art making experience for all art students,
teachers, and teaching artists. With an emphasis on the creative process
in both his art and teaching approaches, Gordon Sasaki and Jeannine
Chartier use the inherent universal qualities of the arts to adapt
lesson plans to individual needs. Both will present alternative teaching
strategies for the classroom, using multi-sensory, inclusive formats,
and universal design for learning that addresses the needs of all
students. With an emphasis on creating practical and inclusive lesson
plans in a noncompetitive and fun learning environment.
Every student is unique and has 'problems' to solve. With a focus on the
visual arts, we will explore disability to extinguish old stereotypes,
generate new awareness, and reveal diversified instruction for arts
standards. Infused in such a way as to promote discussion and new
insights, this hands-on workshop session offers both practical tips for
adaptations to include all children as well as experiential activities
for arts educators to expand classroom practices for successfully
including students with diverse abilities...
