Documenting Your Community:
A Photography-Based Educator Workshop

Wednesday, February 13, 2008
4:30 – 7:00 pm at Second Street Gallery

Piedmont Council of the Arts and Second Street Gallery have paired with the Office of Statewide Partnerships of the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond to offer a FREE information-packed training session that explores the function of photography as a mode of expression for both artists and their subjects.

Jeffrey Allison, Paul Mellon Collection Educator at the VMFA, will lead this teachers' workshop that encompasses language arts, history, math, technology, and art. Educators will explore the connections between history, architecture, and first person narratives as instruments that can inspire and excite students to learn about their own town's history.

Specifically, Allison covers two lesson plans that teachers can use with their classes. In these lessons, students will use photography as a tool to learn about economic, cultural, and environmental issues that make their town unique. Examples of both well-known documentary projects such as those by Lewis Hine and Dorthea Lange as well as projects done by Virginia students will be presented.

Teachers will leave this session with resource guides, lesson plans, and a CD Rom of images from VMFA's exhibition.
This workshop can be applied towards recertification points. Refreshments provided.

Questions? Please call (434)977-7284, or email outreach@secondstreetgallery.org

To register for this FREE workshop, email outreach@secondstreetgallery.org, by FEBRUARY 8, 2007.

PCA's Teacher Workshops provide educators with curriculum-related arts experiences on a variety of subjects. Workshops are designed for classroom teachers as well as art teachers and  encourage the integration the arts into core curriculum subjects as a way of enhancing classroom learning. The sessions generally include a slide lecture followed by a hands-on project, using applied art and writing skills.  Participation can usually be applied toward recertification points.

Past Workshops
Rebecca Jones, Coordinator of Statewide Exhibition Programming at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond, returned in February 2007, by popular request, to lead a workshop on The Myth and Metamorphosis in African-American Art, featuring the artworks of Jacob Lawrence and Romare Bearden. PCA partnered with Second Street Gallery to offer this workshop, free of charge, to area educators. 

Please contact PCA if you would like to be on our mailing list for future workshop offerings.
