Looking for new classroom ideas? CONNECT with MAEA through the 

ARTIST MAKERS COLLABORATION SERIES

Join the Maryland Art Education Association this winter as we host a series of collaboration-based workshops!  Teachers and artists will facilitate each upcoming workshop with presentations of their own work and practices.  Attendees will be able to create personal and collaborative works in response to prompts designed by their artist/ teacher.  Artworks and further investigations by participants in this professional development series will be displayed in an exhibit highlighting the process, planning, and works of art teachers develop at the 2017 MAEA Conference hosted by the Maryland Institute College of Art.  Looking forward to seeing you at the workshop!

Baltimore Museum of Art – January 7

COLLABORATION - SHARED VISION Workshop 

12:30PM-3:30PM

How can artists collaborate yet not live in the same time or place? At the Baltimore Museum of Art Matisse/Diebenkorn will showcase the profound influence of Matisse in an exhibit of works by two power house artists of the 20^th century. “Diebenkorn’s long engagement with Matisse’s work is among the most productive instances of one painter looking at another’s paintings in the history of 20th-century art. This landmark exhibition brings together a stunning array of works loaned from museums and private collections throughout the U.S. and Europe to follow the trajectory of Diebenkorn’s long and successful career with some of the powerful works by Matisse that the younger artist would have seen.” (artbma.org)

In a rare look at their works side by side, teachers will explore and analyze the “conversation” between the paintings of Henri Matisse and Richard Diebenkorn.  This work shop, led by teachers, Jacob Cecil (Riverhill High School, Howard County) and Rachael Hulme (Edgewood High School, Harford County) - a mentor and intern who continue to collaborate in their teaching and making - will include opportunities to frame your visual ideas through connecting to the themes of Matisse and Diebenkorn and explore your own mentors and their influence on your work in the classroom and studio.  

Participation in this workshop includes admission to the Matisse/ Diebenkorn Exhibit, as well as, a hands-on workshop for K-12 visual arts educators.  Participatns will explore K-12 MAKING & FINDING strategies that will inform both personal studio practices and student centered classroom processes.
