Elementary school educators can learn to integrate art lessons into the classroom with the help of the Inter-Disciplinary Art Workshop for Elementary Educators being offered Saturday, Feb. 4 and again on Saturday, March 4 through the Office of Continuing Education at Nicholls State University.

The workshop will provide educator with inter-disciplinary art lessons that can be used to reinforce concepts taught in mathematics, science, language arts and social studies. Participants will receive three lesson plans, logistical planning for implementing the lessons, supplies and hands-on experience. The daylong course will include a review and pointers on how to use a ruler, gluing, cutting and tracing; strategies for managing the physical and logistical aspects of an art lesson; and creation of a set of stencils and three art projects.

Educators who have chosen the Highly Objective Uniform State Standard of Evaluation method to meet the requirements of highly qualified under the No Child Left Behind Act will have the opportunity to earn 6.5 Continuing Learning Units upon successful completion of this workshop.

Phyllis Lear will conduct the workshop. She is a freelance artist, private art teacher and adjunct professor of art at Nicholls State University.

The course begins at 8 a.m. and is scheduled to conclude at 3:30 p.m. It will be held at Illearstrations Art Studio at 537 Highway 308 in Thibodaux. Registration is $85. The registration deadline is four days prior to the workshop.
