Let's Make Books!: A Workshop
Dr. Lydia Dambekalns
, Associate Professor of Education, University of
Wyoming
5:10 PM - 7:00 PM
Marillac 207
Dr. Lydia Dambekalns teaches art education methods at the
University of Wyoming. Utilizing an interdisciplinary approach, her
experiential art lessons integrate language arts, science and math
concepts for pre-service and in-service teachers. In this 2-hour
session, Dr. Dambekalns will lead a book-making workshop useful for
the student studying early childhood and/or elementary
education.
The major goals of the workshop will be to: (1) reinforce the
concept of "literacy" as a way to remember and to re-tell; (2)
explore bookmaking as an actual art form; (3) connect the Arts (in
this case writing, music and visual art) in a concrete way
which identifies similar underlying structures in each.
The
School of Education would like to thank the Gavin Memorial Fund for
its generous support for this workshop.
