Summer Institute for Visual Arts Teachers Saturday, July 20, 2024 8 a.m.-3 p.m.
July 20, 2024
Visual arts teachers are invited to a professional development opportunity to investigate artistic methods, techniques, processes, and materials. Educators can discover ways to bring this knowledge into the studio and explore ideas for including works from the MFAH art collections in the classroom.
Art-making and gallery sessions focus on the summer exhibitions Jacolby Satterwhite: A Metta Prayer, Raqib Shaw: Ballads of East and West and Meiji Modern: Fifty Years of New Japan. All studios and gallery experiences are designed to be adjusted as needed for teaching grade levels pre-K to 12. This workshop provides 6 hours of continuing professional education (CPE).
