WEBINAR OVERVIEW: If you’ve always wondered how to make art class important for the kids who don’t love to draw, this webinar is for you! Join three art educators and project-based learning (PBL) leaders from the DC metro area to explore PBL and why it is getting so much attention globally! Discover how PBL provides engaging opportunities for students to build real-world skills and learn content by focusing deeply on personal response, identity, and community impact. Learn why “doing art projects” doesn’t mean doing “PBL,” and gain easy, actionable steps to revise current projects to increase authenticity, engagement, and long-term impact—the starting points of PBL. ~ from NAEA's Virtual Art Educators

About The MAEA Watch Party Discussion Series
About The MAEA Watch Party Discussion Series
The MAEA Watch Party Discussion Series are ten companion discussions facilitated by MAEA leaders, members, and selected guests who bring their unique experiences to each month's topic. Watching the NAEA webinars is not a prerequisite, however doing so will enhance attendees' general knowledge of the topic. For the 2021 - 2022 Watch Party series, MAEA facilitators will engage participants in open conversation, share helpful resources, and promote a supportive space for all to join in. These discussions will relate back to the theme of the NAEA webinars, but will include stand alone content so that they are not exactly the same.
Please note that registration for the MAEA Watch Party Discussion Series does not include automatic registration for the NAEA webinars. The NAEA webinars are a separate offering through the National Art Education Association. NAEA members may register for these webinars at no cost, but there is a fee for non-members. Visit NAEA Online Learning: Upcoming Opportunities for more information about the NAEA webinars.
