Our “Art-Making Playground” series lets artists and educators put their hands on new tools and materials, as well as learn new ways to work with the ones they already use.  Workshops alternate between demonstrations and “play time,” during which participants can try things out for themselves. In this low-mess workshop we’ll get our hands on different types of materials that can be used to create a broad assortment of 3D art without endangering your classroom carpet.

Participants will:

·      Be introduced to a variety of low and no-mess sculpting tools for creating sculptures, models, and other works of 3-dimensional art.

·      Explore sample lesson plans for incorporating 3-D building into math, science, literacy, and other academic topics.

·      Have time to experiment freely with the tools and materials presented while networking with their peers.

·      Trade their own discoveries, ideas, tips, and tools with other workshop participants.
