Educator Workshops 2010-2011

[Chuck Winkler]

This year, the Carver is offering a series of seven educator workshops
for elementary, middle and high school teachers. The workshops are
accredited by the Texas Education Agency and participants will receive
Continuing Professional Education (CPE) credits. In addition to hands-
on activities, a Teacher Resource Guide, including TEKS assignments
and classroom activities, will be distributed at every workshop.


The diverse selection of workshops will include printing techniques
demonstrated by studio printers from StoneMetal Press November 13,
2010; a dynamic workshop led by artist and architect Roland Rodriguez
titled Art/in/and/of/Architecture, which investigates the fluid
boundaries between art and architecture; a workshop led by Kuumba
House Dance Theatre exploring the African-American tradition of
Kwanzaa; Leading Children in Playwriting presented by members of The
Renaissance Guild; a workshop lead by Japanese storyteller Kuniko
Yamamoto that illustrates Japanese culture through the use of origami
and its basis in art and mathematics; members of the Latin sextet Sol
y Canto will lead and an exciting workshop touching on issues of
memory and nostalgia for one’s home country, immigration, hunger,
cooking, and of course, chocolate, and a tour of several studios of
Eastside artists where educators will interact one-on-one with artists
and learn techniques and activities they can take back to the
classroom.
