Kennedy Center: Arts Integration Institute
EDUCATORS!
Join National Teaching Artist Kay Thomas for an enriching, local professional development that will teach educators K-12 how to integrate arts into any prep! She will be teaching her workshop “The Art of Paper Sculpture: Portrait Busts” that she has taken to educators and schools all over the nation.
Workshop Description: Learn how to teach your students to show their knowledge of other subject areas by bringing literary, historic, or imaginary figures to life as 3-dimensional portrait busts. We will use simple paper forming techniques, multiple papers, and unusual materials to create these sculptures guaranteed to engage and wow. Teachers can pair portrait busts with writing as inspiration for monologue, dialogue, character development, and other student generated text or oral language development for younger grades.
