Workshop Description

Open Studio and Art Education Advocacy

This workshop is for educators who would like space to explore their own personal art practices along with creating a place to discuss the current state of art education in our province. Topics of discussion will include arts advocacy and choice based art in Nova Scotia. Some basic drawing and watercolour media will be provided, but participants are encouraged to bring their own unique art materials if they prefer. This is an open studio and all are welcome. No instructional art techniques or methods will be offered as part of this workshop.
