Educator Workshop Calder and Michelangelo: Masters of Art, Math and Physics November 7, 2009 10:30 am–3:30 pm Simons Board Room

What do Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475–1564) and Alexander Calder (1898–1976) have in common? Both were multi-talented artists whose creative processes often intersected with the disciplines of math, engineering and physics. Through discussion, gallery tours and inquiry-based activities, participants in this educator workshop will explore how the study of artists like Michelangelo and Calder can facilitate interdisciplinary instruction in K–12 classrooms.

Workshop participants receive teaching materials, four Washington State Clock Hours and lunch.
