Who are these workshops for?

VISIE workshops are designed for K–12 educators — generalist teachers, art specialists, and curriculum coordinators — who want to bring creativity, critical thinking, and arts integration into their practice. Whether you're brand new to visual art or a seasoned specialist looking for something fresh, you belong here.

The Drawing Workout

"I thoroughly enjoyed this online workshop! Julie shared lots of great information that I can use in my classroom right away. She was very thorough and even shared what age level was appropriate for each activity. I'm excited to use these activities in my art classroom!"

 

"I can already see how I can tie this to a lesson I teach to 2nd- and 4th-grade students. I love that your seminars are practical, hands-on, and immediately usable in the classroom. The strategies you share are pure gold and applicable to any subject."
