BCF Art Education Workshop

Come join us for a week at the University of West Florida Art Department’s Building Creative Futures workshop, a residential summer workshop for art educators!

You will have the opportunity to focus on two of the four media groups:

1. Digital Media
2. Drawing
3. Ceramics
4. Printmaking

The media groups are taught by professionals in the field, and implemented in a stimulating studio environment. You will broaden your technical knowledge of a particular medium, exercise your creativity, dialogue with peers about applying new approaches to classroom settings, and get pumped up about beginning the 2008/2009 school year with a wide variety of creative and innovative ideas and skills!

To ensure what you learn here can be easily implemented in the classroom setting, all BCF Workshop participants will receive:

• A DVD compilation of video from the week’s activities, including lesson demonstrations, lectures implemented in the workshop, and more.
• Digital copies of all lesson plans and lectures presented in the workshop.
• A compilation of lesson plans submitted by all BCF Workshop participants. (Each participant is required to submit one lesson plan at the time of registration, that is tied to a "Best Practice" and tied to a State Standard, a National Art Standard, or a National Board Standard.)
• A CEU certificate awarded by the University of West Florida Division of Continuing Education.

You will receive materials from all four media groups, regardless of which groups you choose to focus on throughout the week. These materials can be used to share with your students, colleagues, or simply used to refresh your memory.

THANK YOU NAEA NATIONAL CONVENTION ATTENDEES!
