The Art of the Studio Project: A Project Share and Workshop

As educators, we must motivate our students to think conceptually while developing technical competency. The topic of this session centers on student experience, amplifying creative problem solving, and fostering intrinsic motivation. This session is divided into two parts: project shares from three participant applications and a workshop where attendees are invited to share their projects and receive feedback from the panel and other attendees. Artists, designers, historians and educators who work in the first-year experience are invited to share projects and assignments that attend to the idea of the multifaceted studio art project.

Foundations in Art: Theory and Education (FATE) is an organization focused on providing college-level art foundations educators with pedagogical resources, community networking, and professional support while promoting excellence and innovation in curricular development.
