Description

Teachers - with the new school year comes the opportunity for creative, playful projects to get to know your students and set a positive social emotional tone in your classroom. We will use paint, glue, cut paper, and the treasure-chest of SCRAP materials to explore self-portraiture. Techniques will include language and literacy approaches as well as art and craft. We will experience the stress-reducing impact of creative exploration for ourselves and our students. We will also discuss the myriad ways that self-expression helps develop self-awareness, acceptance of differences in others, cognitive flexibility, and a growth mindset.
