Investing in Futures: Design Your World
Wednesday, September 11, 2024 | 5 – 7:30 PM
This future-imagining workshop uses conversation, craft, and play to guide participants step-by-step through visualizing desirable futures. Inspired by the More&More Futures project, the workshop is a ready-to-use framework that can be adapted to classroom settings to spark unique discussion on themes as varied as the environment, food systems, and currency in a playful and artful experiential manner.
Visible Thinking
Wednesday, November 6, 2024 | 5 – 7:30 PM
Inspired by special-engagement exhibition Charles Gaines: 1992-2023, join interdisciplinary artist and educator Nik Ridley as we connect STEAM concepts of math and geometry to conceptual art practices and conversations on demystifying systems of representation. Educators will explore how artist Charles Gaines uses patterns, grid, and systems to convey ideas around representation and create new work.
Upcycled Fashion
Wednesday, February 19, 2025 | 5 – 7:30 PM
What are the environmental impacts of fast fashion and how can we creatively find ways to make wearable art? Join us to hear from fashion designer Angela Johnson, co-founder of fashion innovation incubator FABRIC, and learn ways to make fashion more responsible and sustainable for the future. Inspired by exhibition The Collection: Greatest Fits (Vol. 1): The Art of Archiving Fashion, educators will create their own upcycled fashion objects and garments, gaining the skills and resources to bring this work back to the classroom.
Constructed Landscapes
Wednesday, April 9, 2025 | 5 – 7:30 PM
Photography has impacted our understanding and access to the natural world. Inspired by exhibition Widening the Lens: Photography, Ecology, and the Contemporary Landscape, educators will learn how to create illusions in photography through constructed landscapes. Designed to highlight multiple entry points into landscape photography, this workshop provides the skills and resources to create constructed landscapes using found objects, natural objects, and macro perspective techniques.
Programs take place onsite at Phoenix Art Museum in the Education Building. Free for Members/ $10 for non-Members. Ticket includes resources, light bites, and Museum admission. Space is limitied. Pre-registration required at phxart.org/events. To learn more about the Arts Advocate membership for educators, visit phxart.org/membership.
