Indigenous Literacies/Modalities and the Visual Arts
1 or 2 Day Worskhops Available
Offered in-person only.
These workshops are especially beneficial for
- educators wanting to braid Indigenous teachings with core curriculum over a variety of subjects (in particular, our Indigenous visual arts are all about math!!)
- organizations that are seeking a great team-building experience
Depending on the needs of the participating group(s), this workshop is offered as either a one or two day experience. Sessions look at multi-modalities and multi-literacies through a pan-Indigenous lens.
Using visual art forms such as
- drum-making
- beading
- weaving
- storytelling boards
- painting
participants will learn how to braid cultural teachings and visual arts into their practices. Fun, interactive and tool kit-building, these workshops provide not only 'how to' instruction, but share the beautiful teachings and historical/contemporary contexts around each art form.
Participants will be invited to create 1-3 pieces in each medium, depending on session length selected.
