Arts-In-Education Exploratory Enrichment

Picture This! Adventures in Impressionism

Presented by Imagine That! Art Education

Based on Joyce Raimondo's famous book, "Picture This!" students go on an adventure through the beautiful world of Impressionist art by Monet, Degas, Renoir and others. During interactive art show assemblies with 100% participation, students talk about what they see in art. Students develop the ability to interpret art. They then let their creativity soar in follow-up painting workshops inspired by Impressionists. The Imagine That! team is directed by acclaimed artist-author-educator Joyce Raimondo. Virtual program available too. Cultural responsiveness: Our approach teaches students how to express personal opinions about what they see in diverse art and to respect the differing view points of their classmates. Fostering open ended thinking, we encourage debate and discussion through respectful speaking and listening to each other. The art discussed is exemplary of diverse backgrounds and approaches to creativity. Programs are geared to all ages and abilities.
