Workshop & Event Registration v2.0

Enhance you and your student's success by experiencing four instructional approaches used in an art class. Each participant, by drawing a charcoal and pencil self-portrait from a photograph, will come to understand how to remove the barriers to satisfaction and self-efficacy. The creation of the drawing would provide the basic structure for the use and discussion of instructional approaches used by presenter David Thornberry in his drawing classes to help non-art major students past conceptual barriers. The teaching ideas, applicable to any discipline, are: 1. It's not about talent. 2. Process, not product. 3. General to specific. 4. Getting past negative self-definition; add the word "yet". All drawing tools would be provided by the presenter/workshop. The photograph for drawing to be taken on-site in order to control lighting for easier drawing.

Participants will:
1. Understand how art principles applied to instruction revitalize the classroom
2. Experience a new “process-oriented” approach to instruction
3. Improve self-efficacy and barriers to you and your student's success

David Thornberry is an Art Instructor and Poet. He has an MFA in Painting from Kent State University. He currently teaches drawing with Austin Community College.
