    Description: Learn the basics of how to make an accordion book. These simple yet versatile books can be made by artists of any age and used for a wide variety of purposes. Instruction will include making the text block, covers, and optional closures.

    Suggested Materials: 2-5 sheets 9" x 12" mixed media or similar paper, 2 3.5" x 5" cover boards (illustration board, mat board or heavy, non-corrugated cardboard work well), decorative cover paper large enough to cover the cover boards with about .5" overlap on all sides, glue stick, scissors, folding bone/butter knife, ribbon or yarn (optional)

    Bio: I am an Art educator of about 20 years with a focus in Photography and a love of dabbling in everything else. I enjoy experimenting with new materials and following whatever catches my interest at the time, meaning I rarely complete anything. I hope someday to start a non-profit gallery to provide space for high school students and community members to display their work and gain experience with professional gallery skills.

    Michael Cellan presents Watercolor For People Who Hate Watercolor

    Description: OK, watercolor is fun and simple. Sometimes it becomes daunting because some artists make it too technical. Before the smart phone camera, it was used to make quick sketches to use for a larger painting. I use it to make wonderful works.

    Suggested Materials: We're just learning. You don't need expensive stuff. Look around you, you'll find everything you'll need. Watercolors: Tube, cake, or a watercolor set. I use Prang 16- oval. Brushes: We're doing a small painting. Use small brushes. #'s 1-4. I'm using cheap Talkon brushes. I use a #6 or #8 brush to squeeze water into the WC ovals. WC Paper: Somewhere in your collection of stuff, you have some watercolor paper. I use cold press, #140, 9"x12", cut into 4th's. Cheap at Walmart... Canson, 30 sheet watercolor pad.

    Bio: I've made art all my life. I've taught all levels of art education from kindergarten to grad school. I just like making stuff.

    December 7, 2020 5-6PM Live Webinar

    Vanessa Quintana presents Thinking Routines

    Description: This class covers how I incorporate the development and tracking of "Thinking Routines" in the art classroom. Thinking routines consist of growth mindset, grit, and cognitive routines. They enhance student's abilities to engage and persist, facilitate deeper understanding, thoughtfully reflect, and be open to possibilities with their work when they learn that obstacles are opportunities rather than roadblocks to success. Tracking thinking routines also makes learning visible for evaluators, and provides data for intentional and authentic instructional shifts.

    Suggested Materials: Note taker, and our growth mindset!

    Bio: I teach art in an adaptive program for SEL students. I LOVE all kinds of things. ART, cooking, music, mountaineering, bourbon, my family, my friends, and a having a good time! Let's Play!

    March 29, 2021 5-6PM

    Lisa Adams presents Inkspired Art


    Description: Using newspaper, ink, glue and mixed media participants will create beautifully Ink-spired artworks. Artists interact visually, not literally with text allowing them to develop authentic abstract or original representational illustrations.
    All participants will leave with a started and a finished work of Ink-spired Art as well as a bevy of ideas that are great transitional, sketchbook or extension prompts, depending on your classroom needs. Moreover, this is an inexpensive and easy studio lesson to tier into multi-levels. The contextual elements are a collaged platform to create original compositions. This is a project where student artists work in tandem with their editorial or literary resource allowing the learner to develop authentic non-objective or depictive illustrations.
    We are immersed in a time of hot topics. This project can easily be transformed into a social, equity or cultural issue interaction where student artists are allowed to embed their ideas, feeling and opinions about current social and cultural mores; allowing them to dive into a deep investigative and reflective humanities assignment through their art.
