Professional Development in Elizabethtown, KY

 I have led professional development in several counties over the years.  Normally in the middle Tennessee area.  However, about five or six years ago I started going to Elizabethtown, KY to lead professional development for their art teachers.  I really enjoy going up each summer.  The teachers are AMAZING, and we always have a great time.  Here are the pictures from this summer's event!!

The Art With Mr. E Workshop: FIELD TRIP

Slow posting...I KNOW! ha ha 

I'm trying to get back in the swing of things.

 Every year we go on a "field trip" during the three day workshop.  We've been to The Frist Art Museum, The Parthanon, Exploring the Public Art of Nashville, and taken a Mural Walk in Lebanon,TN (with a representative from the tourism department that helped get the mural projects going!). I wanted to do something different this year.  I decided to contact area artists to see if they might be willing to let us invade their space and ask questions of their life, process, inspiration, and business as a professional artist. WE WERE SO BLESSED!!!  A local ceramicist allowed us into her world....and we learned so much! 

We were making slump molds with plaster.

The shrinkage on these pieces was unreal! All from the same slump mold!

We love getting our hands dirty!!!

8th Annual Art With Mr. E Summer Workshop

My summer was CRAZY busy (Drove to PA twice & KY once!), and I let my blogging slip.  I'm going to try to catch up on a few things that happened over the summer, and then will hopefully be more consistant this school year!  I still like blogging because you can share more & catalog things more than other short form social media (In my opinion!). 

This felt like a more "normal" year.  We had a bunch of returning teachers. Some local...and some from other states(Ohio & KY).  What a great group of art educators.  The whole reason I started my workshop was to help resource/encourage art teachers that are in smaller districts that don't always provided dedicated art inservice/professional development opportunities. I'm happy to continue this summer opportunity as long as it is needed.  That being said...here are the pictures from the Art With Mr. E Summer Workshop at Cumberland University 2023! 

(I'm going to do a seperate post about our "field trip"! We had so much fun!)

Every morning we provided breakfast!

The supply table was full of more ideas/projects than we could get to during our three days! 

Here are the collections of projects completed during our three days.
