Creating an Arts Blog: an interactive approach to documenting your residencies
This workshop, facilitated by teaching artist and muralist Alison Zapata, will demonstrate the many benefits of documenting residencies by blogging and how to get started with your own weblog. No prior experience necessary! Visual and performing artists will learn how a blog can be an interactive way to:
* document residencies;
* extend student learning beyond the classroom;
* engage teachers & parents in the creative process.
Seating is limited for this hands-on workshop. Participants may work at computer stations. Free Wifi or internet access provided for those who bring laptops.
