PD Memories

The VPA community is rooted in its shared commitment to collaborative professional growth. Amongst us are teacher leaders who present regularly at district, regional, and national arts conferences. We write curriculum, lead PLC cohorts, as well as informal learning meet ups.

2D to 3D Processes

Wildwood Elementary

FutureMakers led a year-long series of workshops where we explored 3D handbuilding processes to incorporate in our artrooms.

Crankies are based off of old-fashioned toys and cover pre-robotics concepts like gears and motors.

2D to 3D Exploration

We explored form with 3D portraits, hinged grabbers, and team straw tower builders.

Break out studio time was built into the day so teachers could reconnect with each other through shared practice.
