Did you know that an artist was the first to suggest military camouflage? That you can paint with light as well as with pigment? From observation skills to an understanding of the properties of materials, artists and scientists have many shared interests. In this workshop, teachers will explore these connections through model lessons and develop further activities that encourage students to use their strength in one field to bridge the gap to the other.

  

You also have a chance to sign up to explore Challenge-Based Museum Learning!  This workshop was rescheduled due to inclement weather and a few spaces have opened up.

 

 

Time: 9:30 a.m.- 1:30 p.m.

Cost: Free  

 

Join educators from the Smithsonian American Art Museum and the National Portrait Gallery for a workshop on incorporating art, problem-solving, and collaboration into classroom teaching. The twenty-first century world is a rapidly changing place where skills like problem-solving, creativity, and collaboration are often of more value than content knowledge. This workshop is organized into two parts-first, teachers are presented with a problem to solve, and second, teachers create a challenge-based learning project to implement with their students.
