Session description

Through an exploration of Denver’s Public Art Program, participants will leverage Apple® mobile devices and Clips® to answer the essential questions: What meaning can be conveyed through art? How does art bring people together? This innovative experience models how creating multimedia propels inquiry-based learning for both teachers and students. This tour will be meeting in the Hall F lobby of the Colorado Convention Center.

Purpose & objective

The purpose of this session is to explore the opportunities that inquiry-based learning provides. This approach allows learners to collaborate, investigate, and be creative. The open-ended essential questions address specific learning objectives while still providing an opportunity for learners to create their own understanding of big ideas. Participants will utilize Clips® to create a product that captures their unique perspective of Denver’s Public Art Program and their impression of the messages that the artist might be conveying.
Presenters and participants will meet at the start of the tour to review the Denver Public Art Map and discuss the essential questions: What meaning can be conveyed through art? How does art bring people together? From there, presenters will facilitate the activity by guiding the group along a portion of the Denver Public Art Map. The group will stop to engage with the art installations, reflect on the essential questions, and capture art and ideas using Clips®. Presenters will prompt conversation and deeper thinking by asking probing questions (look, describe, think, connect). To close the session, participants will have time to compose their final project, share their work with the group, and take a moment to connect the format of this session to their work; identifying how this learning format might look within the participants’ own educational context.

Objectives:
1. Participants will be able to create a multimedia presentation using Clips® to answer the essential questions.
2. Participants will be able to describe their interpretation of art installations in and around the Colorado Convention Center.
3. Participants will be able to make personal connections between their impressions of art installations and how art can be used to bring people together.
