Art and Science on the Go - Teacher Workshops

Register for Summer Teacher Workshops

About
Cranbrook Art and Science on the Go invites northern Michigan K-12 teachers to join us this summer on Cranbrook’s campus in Bloomfield Hills for a free four-day teacher workshop. Through a generous grant from The Herbert H. and Grace A. Dow Foundation, housing, meals and materials will be provided.

During their stay, teachers will have the opportunity to explore different fields of study in the sciences and arts through interactive workshops and activities, developing ways to better integrate these topics in the classroom. Opportunities to earn a maximum to 3.0 SB-CEUs are planned as part of this workshop.

Tentative dates for 2012
Session 1: June 11-14
Session 2: June 18-21

Workshops
With topics ranging from geology to anthropology to a wide range of traditional to contemporary studio arts, teachers will be able to explore the fields of art and science and examine where they intersect. Workshops include:

  • Nature Observation through Journaling
  • Learning on the Landscape: Earth, Environmental Science and Art
  • Perspective Drawing: Interpreting your Surroundings
