Ulrich Educators 2010: Application
Exploring space and place
This intensive four-day art educator workshop will take place at the Ulrich Museum of Art July 27-30, 2010. Participants will focus on in-depth exploration of the museum’s collection through interactive activities and integrated curriculum writing. A social media site specific for the workshop will be an important component that will extend and further develop community among participants throughout the school year. It will serve as a space to share ideas and curriculum with one another and keep updated on educational opportunities at the Ulrich. A follow-up workshop will bring participants back together Saturday, September 11 to present ways in which participants have applied or envision their curriculum in their classrooms, and discuss curricular implications of new fall exhibits. Interdisciplinary teaching teams are encouraged. Workshops are free of charge, but participants should be able to commit to attendance at both workshops (July 27-30 and September 11) and participation in the social media site.
