Art Education for Early Learners

Presented in conjunction with the Crocker's All About Families initiative, we welcome you to explore three core principals of early childhood art education: looking is lovely, process over product, and follow up with feedback. Workshop will include time in the studio and galleries, and will focus on strategies for working with preschool students and tips for advocating for early arts education programs, including aligning your program with the California Preschool Learning Foundations. This program is designed for educators, but parents and caregivers are welcome to attend. Presenters include Jeannette Amrhein, adjunct professor at American River College and former director of early childhood education for Shalom School; and Jennie Simpson, early childhood educator at the Crocker. Tickets may be purchased at crockerartmuseum.org, at the Museum Admission Desk, or by calling (916) 808-1182. $15 Museum members, $20 nonmembers.
