The Beatles to Beyoncé: Creating Art Through Music Presenter(s): Alyssa Wagner Fri., Nov. 20 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM In this session, we will talk about how to get our students engaged in your next art project by using the music that they like to inspire their artwork. We will take our student’s favorite songs and break apart the lyrics to find true meaning using our text analysis skills. I don’t teach English Language Arts or Music. How is this relevant to art? Art is everywhere you just have to know where to look. As art teachers we have the awesome opportunity to take the things our kids love and enjoy and show them how they can easily be applied to projects and adventures we take in the art studio. It’s easier than you think! Join me for more information on how to integrate ELA and your students favorite music into your art classroom.

Changing the Visual Perception of Swimming Presenter(s): Anna Bass Sat., Nov. 21 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM This workshop discusses how art is used to revitalize communities. Art creates an environment that people want to interact and engage in. Communities can use art to revamp facilities that do not have funding for renovations. In this particular demonstration, participants will see how art could be used to turn a pool into a community destination. Swimming is a life skill that over 50 percent of the population still cannot do. This project strives to change how people see swimming through the use of murals and screen printing.

Curate Meaningful Connections to Works of Art
Fri., Nov. 20 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM
Presenter(s): Cindy Ingram and Jennifer Easterling
Liz & Vicki began their collaborative teaching adventure together 10 years ago at a little middle school in South Austin. Even though they are no longer teaching at the same school they continue to share ideas and develop their teaching practices together. Liz & Vicki believe in student driven content and personal narratives with the teacher as facilitator of developmental processing, techniques and media. As students progress in their art studies they use their skills and techniques as a catalyst for communicating their own visual narrative. We are eager to share and discuss the strategies that work in our classrooms as they are connected to culturally responsive teaching.

Quick & Easy Presentations: Teach Clay Virtually
This session will cover a brief history of Stop Motion Animation, including mini art room project ideas such as thaumatropes, zeotropes, and flipbooks. Provided with examples and instruction, attendees will then step through the making of a stop motion clip using the Stop Motion Studios app. Attendees will explore material for character creation focusing on making characters from found items (something from nothing). They will then move on to storyboarding, planning out sequences and plots for their clip. The second part of the session will focus on the making of the clip. From here, attendees will learn about pacing and frame rates. Attendees will then have time to complete their clips, leaving the last 10 minutes for a presenting and critiquing session. The class will wrap up with a discussion on implications for the art classroom.

Stepping into Technology with Stop-Motion Presenter(s): Cindy Davis Sat., Nov. 21 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM
In concert with art education practices oriented toward critical visual literacy and social justice, this session advocates for the importance of teaching critical media literacy in art classrooms by exploring culture jamming through the concepts of subvertising, deconstruction, and media activism. I then describe a critical media literacy lesson given to a group of pre-service art teachers through which they apply their knowledge of the aforementioned concepts to deconstruct mainstream media texts and create subvertisements to raise awareness about important social Page 29
