Teacher Workshop - Learning to Look: 20 Works of Art Across Time and Cultures

This in-service workshop introduces art from around the world as a resource for classroom learning through four themes: stories, people, things we use, and nature. The images and resources explored help teachers (K–12) motivate students to identify shapes, lines, colors, and patterns; learn new vocabulary; decode symbols; understand narrative elements and structures; formulate hypotheses; find and organize supporting evidence; tolerate and respect unfamiliar perspectives and opposing opinions; and apply mathematical concepts to real-life situations. Up to ten teaching kits are provided with each workshop.
