a2ru Webinar: Navigating Online Arts Instruction
(If you missed this webinar, a video is available to view here.)
The Alliance for the Arts in Research Universities invites you to join our upcoming webinar, Navigating Online Arts Instruction Part 1: Educating Through Visual Arts, Engaging Through Distance, on Wednesday, July 22nd, at 2:00pm EDT. This webinar is part of a series of discipline-specific conversations, designed to give arts instructors a space to discuss their experiences with remote instruction, to share and gather resources, and to support one another.
Webinar attendees will leave with concrete strategies for distance learning in the context of painting and drawing courses; tips for teaching museum studies when museums are inaccessible; online tools for meeting typical studio and performance course objectives; methods for building trust and facilitating teamwork collaboration, and more. Specifically focusing on engagement, panelists will also discuss how instructors can increase engagement amongst their students, sustain engaged learning discussions remotely and while using methods of visual analysis, and work online as a socially engaged community artist. Finally, we will close with a discussion of how art instructors can adapt their message to an online format. Instead of trying to maneuver our existing curricula into an online space, how can we leverage the unique opportunities afforded by the digital world?
We especially encourage attendees to send in questions before the webinar to help us better facilitate a productive discussion that addresses our audience's needs.
