About this event

This exciting seminar is designed for Grades K-8 teachers interested in strengthening the artistic development of their students. Are you unsure of how to use your existing curriculum to engage your Grades K-8 students? Join award-winning teacher and artist, Amy Friedman in this fast-paced seminar. Amy will help you explore classroom-tested strategies for engaging today's students with widely differing levels of abilities and interests. Her goal is to offer rewarding art education experiences to as many students as possible. All of the projects presented are classroom proven and exceed the National Art Education Standards. This seminar is designed specifically for educators who are interested in learning practical ways to increase the effectiveness of learning and academic success of their students while incorporating art education.

As educators, we know the value of teaching the arts to our students in Grades K-8. This seminar features a wealth of hands-on experiences and practical knowledge that you will easily be able to incorporate into your everyday teaching. The projects and ideas that I will share with you have been adapted throughout my 26 years of working with Grades K-8 students and art. I believe students in Grades K-8 learn and develop immensely when given opportunities to explore their creativity.

Have you ever been challenged by the need to meet the variety of skills and interest levels of your students? While our goal is to keep all students excited, motivated and engaged in learning with innovative art lessons, this isn't easy. Please join me for an interactive and exciting seminar designed specifically for Grades K-8 teachers as we explore a wealth of ideas and activities that will increase your students' achievement in art. Discover how we can help all of our students realize their creative potential and appreciate the creative spirit they possess.
