This educator workshop dives into the complex connections that students can make between visual images and language, both verbal and written. In this dynamic professional development session, participants learn about the Visual Thinking Strategies methodology and build on those skills by trying out activities that can be adapted for use in the classroom. CMA Writer-in-Residence Ray McManus leads a session on incorporating poetry with art. All materials provided. Registration includes gallery admission, lunch, and one set of CMA Words & Works cards. Participants earn seven hours of professional renewal credit. Capacity limited to 10 participants to ensure physical distancing; face coverings are required.

This program was supported by a grant from Aflac, housed at Central Carolina Community Foundation.
