March 21st, 2014 – Rolling Hills Elementary School, Campbell, CA.

My presentation:
“Sciences and Art through Close Observation: We are Artist-Naturalists!” – Handout here.
Making the best use of the resources we have in our immediate environment and creating a journey for the students in which they become enthusiastic artist-scientists, connecting with nature by observation of its infinite diversity. A new look at the students’ environment – the mundane becomes extraordinary.

STEAM content area: Sciences

After the presentation the teachers have the information and the necessary skills to take action and engage with their students in feasible art-imbued-with-science exercises and the desire to grow their knowledge. In the future, the participants are welcome to email me with questions to continue the dialogue.
