Conference Room 1
In this workshop, educators will learn how to use objects from VMFA’s collection to design learning experiences for students that inspire, enhance, and hone their argumentative skills. Art implies and imposes a meditation on point-of-view. Using art objects, educators will learn how to support their students’ development and defense of novel points-of-view. Argumentative discourse is an essential feature in all disciplines, and the use of art as a catalyst for this discourse can transform its curricular potential. This session is applicable to K-12 educators of all subjects.
Snacks will be provided for participants.
