Exploring the Meaning(s) of Literacy
Finding Interdisciplinary Connections between the Language and Visual
In-person workshops at Lewiston Middle School, Sat., March 2, 2024, and Bonny Eagle High School, Sat., April 6, 2024
9:00 am-4:30 pm
6 contact hours
Cost: $55 (includes lunch)
How can we expand our understanding of these elements to include both the
Language and Visual Arts? This workshop is for teachers who are interested in multi-disciplinary thinking, learning, and making that combine both disciplines. Through writing poetry and creating a one-of-a-kind “artist’s book” we will investigate the relationship of form and content through aesthetic and literary means. The emphasis will be on process and skill-building.
No previous Book Arts experience is required!
We will consider some of the many educational benefits of interdisciplinary teaching and learning:
● Expression of Student Identity ● Experiential Problem-Solving
● Diversity of Student Experience ● Honoring Multiple Intelligences
Instructors:
Judy Novey (Visual Arts) and Lorry Stillman (Language Arts) are both veteran teachers at the Middle and Secondary levels. Together, over a span of twenty years, they created and taught an interdisciplinary course called Word & Image that combined the literacies of both of their disciplines. In retirement, they have developed a series of presentations and workshop formats that focus on the benefits of interdisciplinary teaching and learning.
