| The Workshop |
| Presented by Junior League members, this workshop is designed to give teachers and PTA docents, information and training to introduce the art to school children, Kindergarten thru 6th grade. At the workshop, each participant will not only view the art but will receive multi-sensory approaches to use when instructing children in small class settings. A teaching packet will be provided. |
| The Artwork |
| The Junior League will loan certain artworks from their Northwest Collection to the participating schools. Each school will have the artwork for one week. A new selection of artwork will be used for the program this year and will include work by northwest artists such as: Dale Chihuly, Paul Horiuchi, Morris Graves and George Tsutakawa. The artwork is placed in “easy to move” crates with wheels for transporting between the schools. Insurance on the artwork is covered by the Junior League of Seattle. |
