==  = WELCOME TO THE ART DEPARTMENT COMMUNITY CONVERSATION = The new school year began with a workshop with teachers from all three divisions working togtehr to explore ideas of creativity and community. Each division worked to define issues relevant to art education and then give form to those ideas using found materials. The workshop was led by Bob Ryshke ([|Center for Teaching]) and Julia Myrick from the elementary school. With four new teachers beginnning the year, we had a unique opportunity to form a community before we scattered to our respecive schools. Use the menu to the left to discover the imaginative think tank that is the Westminster Art Department. Works by students in all three divisions are posted along with descriptions of the projects. The Wild Cat Art Blog contains a lively conversation about the day to day practice of teaching art to young people. And the wiki discussion thread reflects our on-going conversation about specific issues we encounter through the year. Please feel free to join in, post images of your student's work and add your reflections, comments, and musing to this site or the blog.
