Session description

Join us in the Mile-High Creative Constructor Studio at Camp Creativity for some hands-on art making!

Create 2D and 3D art by experimenting with a variety of artistic techniques and playing with different mediums from collage to drawing, to persona mini-figure art! As you explore different artistic methods, draw parallels between your artwork and your approach to teaching and learning. Join us on a journey of self-discovery and reflection through the lens of digital and tactile art, and gain a deeper understanding of your roles as an educator and individual!.

This hands-on art making session is designed to leverage the power of art as a catalyst for change in educational environments. We invite everyone, regardless of their artistic prowess, to dive into various art forms and uncover the connections between their creations and their teaching methodologies.

This workshop is presented by the “Basecamp for Creatives” playground coordinators. Check out the playground on Monday afternoon at ISTELive and get a head start on your creative flow!

Drop in for 10 minutes or stay as long as you want – see you at the Camp studio to express, explore and experience the transformative power of art!
