1) Loose Parts: Making Mandalas With Natural and Found Materials - Mandalas are found in many cultures. In this workshop, participants will explore ideas around patterning, repetitions and placement as they create mandalas using natural materials. Learn how to make connections across the curriculum by exploring cultural motifs and how elements of the natural work and environmental practices can be introduced into the classroom. Participants will be provided with all materials needed but are welcome to bring any natural materials they wish to incorporate. A theme of self-care and collective care will weave itself through the workshop as we explore these ideas. Presenter: Nimra Bandukwala, Visual Artist and Occupational Therapist
2) Giving Students Voice Through Drama - Are you tired of thinking of drama as just "Readers Theatre"? Learn to use drama both as a means of giving students voice and a way of creating authentic assessment opportunities throughout the curriculum. Find out how to make cross-curricular connections and leave with tools to integrate drama into multiple subjects and grade levels. Participants should come ready to actively learn and participate in drama activities. Bring the curriculum alive for your students. Presenter: Greta Hofstede
3) Exploring Elements of Design Through Ceramic Painting - Come out for a relaxing evening where participants will explore both elements and principles of design while painting ceramic objects. Learn about basic elements of design such as line, shape, shade, space and colour while exploring techniques such as pointillism and abstraction. Learn to create a foundation of design principles with a focus on proportion, balance, repetition, etc. Participants will have a choice of painting a mug, bowl or plate. Presenter: Kim Oliver of Muggs Coffee and Clay, Strathroy
