Put some STEAM into your Art Education! Documenting the natural world has been at the very core of artmaking since the caves of Lascaux and has been vital in data collection and creativity throughout time. Let’s explore how science and art work together to enhance understanding in the classroom. We’ll delve deep into how students make connections between concepts, hone our observation and problem-solving skills, learn about artists, their media and practice, and use the world around us to illustrate, imagine, explore, create, and interpret the beauty of our planet. You’ll leave this workshop with the skills and confidence to incorporate art making – from drawing and illustration to printmaking, sculpture and photography – into lessons on biology, zoology, botany, anatomy, physics and more.
