Get matched →The Weisman Art Museum invites K-12 educators to a hands-on professional development workshop exploring practical ways to integrate the arts across subject areas. Led by teaching artists Pam Reyes and Erica Warren, this interactive session introduces accessible, arts-based strategies that can be adapted to any classroom. Whether you are a classroom educator in math, science, language arts, or social studies, or work with youth in community settings, you will leave with adaptable tools to foster creativity, engagement, and inclusive learning environments.
Participants will begin with art-making, creating crankie theater boxes with Erica Warren from 1-2:30 PM, then shift into creative arts enhancement strategies with Pam Reyes from 2:45-3:45 PM.
Erica Warren will teach you how to create your own crankie puppet. A crankie is one long scrolled paper between two dowels—your cranks—inside a box-like frame. It is a useful form of visual expression and one that can be used over and over again. Materials are provided. Just bring yourself and an idea!
Pam Reyes will introduce practical strategies for integrating arts-enhanced learning across curricula and in interdisciplinary classrooms, to provide arts-based learning to students along with subject-area concepts across the disciplines—especially useful amidst decreased arts budgets in schools.
Support for this program is provided by Art Bridges. This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through an Operating Support grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund. Additional general operating support is generously provided by Ameriprise Financial.
