If you are interested in running a workshop, please respond to this email letting us know what you would like to teach. A workshop would entail you teaching a lesson/technique/method using software related to your medium. i.e. an editing lesson in photoshop or lightroom, video skills or editing skills in premiere (or other video editing software),etc. You would need to have your own laptop and software if you are demonstrating as we will not have access to computers with software.Lesson Sharing- We need 5-6 volunteers for 10 minute lesson share presentations. This could be sharing a lesson that went really well with your students, showcasing your program, a film reel of student work, etc. We want to see what you are doing in your classrooms! If you or another teacher you know have something to share, please respond back with your ideas! In other news, we have a DART Facebook Group! This group is meant to share ideas, collaborate, network, and provide resources and opportunities for Digital Art Teachers. If you are on Facebook, Please search “DART- Digital Art Teachers of Illinois” to join! Please join us over there for event updates and collaboration!Let me know if you have any questions. I look forward to this event and I can’t wait to see you all in March!
