Marion Cilker Conference

paintedladder — Sat, 12 Nov 2011 04:30:42 +0000

Next week I will be leading a workshop for The Marion Cilker Conference in Santa Clara. The conference focuses on teaching teachers how to bring art to the classroom. For my Mural Painting Workshop, 2 sessions of 25 teachers will have 2 hours to help create and fill in a pre-designed mural at the site. What I hope to share are the tools I’ve come across for the challenge we often face painting and directing murals- how to create a common vision that still celebrates the voices of many individuals.

If you are interested in organizing art projects for groups, below is a downloadable file of the handout I’ll give out- a basic plan layout for the process of setting up, organizing and creating a group mural. I hope it’s helpful and gets more people together expressing their ideas on the walls!
