Learning through The Creative Process: Standards-driven Creative Spaces
Overview:
Participants explore the connective tissue of the Maryland State Fine Arts Standards and the Creative Process. By investigating their own teaching and making methods, participants gain a deeper understanding of their own artistic habits and patterns. We will explore the five arts discipline of the Maryland State Fine Arts Standards: dance, media arts, music, theatre, and visual art.
The course is a launchpad into a reflective and strengths-based approach to professional learning through Maryland Micro-Credentials. This is the prerequisite course for all #mcred courses.
Dates/Locations:
Stay tuned for 2022 course dates.
The course is held online (virtual).
Technology
A laptop or desktop computer to access Zoom (the learning platform) and digital learning materials in class. The computer must have a working microphone and camera.
