Program Description
Art does not have to look real to be great! Based on Joyce Raimondo's book,"What's the Big Idea?" students to explore colorful collages by Matisse, mixed up faces by Picasso and drip paintings by Pollock during fun-filled interactive art show assemblies. Students discover what creativity is all about as they express their ideas about what they see in abstract art. Related projects -- sculpture, painting, prints and more- enhance creativity in all students. The Imagine That! team is directed by acclaimed artist-author-educator Joyce Raimondo. Virtual program (discounted) and pre-recorded video 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.
