Discovering the Art in S.T.E.A.M.
Wednesday, September 13, 2023 /// 5 – 7:30 PM

Join us as we learn from Megan Epley, founder of stARTem, and discover new ways to promote student creativity, engagement, self-expression, connections to academic evaluations, and the advancement of STEAM learning. This workshop will give educators the opportunity to discover these strategies by participating in our research-based, interactive STEAM lessons and by brainstorming with other teachers and current STEAM resources.

Memory Makers
Wednesday, November 8, 2023 /// 5 – 7:30 PM

Inspired by exhibition Amalia Mesa Bains: Archaeology of Memory, join interdisciplinary artist and educator Diana Calderon in an exploration of storytelling and archiving through the blending of traditional and contemporary techniques of relief printmaking and bookmaking.

Body Language: Art and Nudity
Wednesday, February 28, 2024 /// 5 – 7:30 PM

Talking about nudity in art provides a way to highlight commonality, enhance visu-al literacy, and boost knowledge of artistic training and art theory. Phoenix Art Museum, like other encyclopedic art museums, collects and exhibits art from across cultures and time periods, including artworks that depict nude forms. Join us as we explore photography exhibition Laura Aguilar: Nudes in Nature and gain insight on current methods of approach and lesson plans for discussing nudity in art with students at varying grade levels.

Picture This! Using Drama to Bring Art to Life
Wednesday, April 24, 2024 /// 5 – 7:30 PM

Join us in learning how to use drama techniques to help students connect to art-work. Educators will experience drama activities, from both the student and teacher perspective, and discuss how drama can be used as a tool to help students engage with curriculum on a deeper level. Activities include creating a soundscape inspired by a work of art, embodying the emotions it makes us feel, imagining our-selves as a character in the artwork, and using our bodies and imaginations to become sculptures.

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 limited. Pre-registration required at phxart.org/events. Learn more about the Arts Advocate Membership for educators.
