The stories and artwork of Eric Carle have fascinated children and
adults for years. In this hands-on workshop, learn to teach basic
visual arts techniques like creating compound shapes, making
3-dimensional forms and developing cutting skills, then turn these
basics into Eric Carle creatures. Explore how closely observing and
describing animals or plants and comparing their similarities and
differences increases understanding and creates artwork that is
rich in detail and authenticity. This workshop is based on the
concept that manipulation of basic shapes and forms, without the
use of patterns, inspires student creativity and confidence. Join
Carolyn Owens, Artist Educator, for this fun and participatory
experience. This workshop complements the Clowes School Matinee
performance of The Very Hungry Caterpillar and Other Eric
Carle Favourites on Tuesday, February 23, 2010. This
workshop addresses Indiana Academic Standards in Visual Arts,
Science and English/Language Arts.

Combining math, dance and rhythm is a powerful way to make the
abstract world of mathematics concrete for kinesthetic young
learners. Using an educational tool specifically designed for
non-dancers, explore movement-based lessons that increase students'
understanding of mathematical topics. Specifically, learn how
to apply problem solving strategies to the choreographic
process. Then guide students as they physically experience
the concept of variable and work in collaborative groups.
This process empowers students to use math vocabulary in a
real-world setting and communicate their creative work using
graphs, symbols and maps. Professional dancer Malke Rosenfeld
collaborated with Presidential Award winning elementary math
specialist Jane Cooney to create Math In Your Feet, the student
residency upon which this workshop is based. This
workshop can be taken individually or as first in a series with
Math In Your Feet II. Addresses Indiana Academic Standards in
Dance and Math.

Pixey, Clowes Education Manager, by e-mail at cpixey@butler.edu or

Combining math, dance and rhythm is a powerful way to make the
abstract world of mathematics concrete for kinesthetic young
learners. Using an educational tool specifically designed for
non-dancers, explore movement-based lessons that increase students'
understanding of mathematical topics. Specifically, learn how
simple foot-based dance patterns can be used to orient students in
space, teach the concept of congruence and challenge students to
learn and apply principles of transformation. This process
also empowers students to use math vocabulary in a real-world
setting and work creatively in collaborative groups.
