Explore a new medium.
Experience a week that’s all about you.
ArtsWeek is designed for teachers across disciplines who are interested in developing innovative, creative approaches to education based on intensive work with art-specific content.
During ArtsWeek, register for the studio graduate course of your choice with an instructor from the University of the Arts faculty who has mastery in that medium. The focus provides a rich, engaging studio experience within a specific discipline. Participants complete a final project reflecting the new skills and approaches learned as applied to classroom teaching and student learning. You’ll have additional open studio time and participate in a final reception and exhibition of your ArtsWeek work.
ArtsWeek is designed for teachers in a range of subject areas who are interested in developing innovative, creative approaches to education. Participants can refine art-making and media-specific skills, explore the application of media into the curriculum, and learn how to engage all students through focused arts experiences.
