-
Workshops are a professional development opportunity at entirely no- cost.
- Our goal is to merge brand awareness with creative lesson plans and connect it to consumer feedback.

- Interested groups may request specific content or art projects that the group may be interested in learning more about and I can send lesson plan ideas.
-
At a workshop, I come to your site to host an in- person open forum where we will explore the lesson and products being used with it.
-
Live virtual workshops are also offered and materials for virtual workshops are sent to the site ahead of time. Also, I provide the online link for us all to join in and create together.
- Each attendee leaves the workshop with:
- A copy of the lesson
- A full set of materials that they’ve used that day, plus more freebies.
- A Dixon certificate stating that you’ve spent “X” amount of professional development time at a Dixon workshop.
- Multiple opportunities to win classroom packs of products.

6 Ways to Use Books in the Art Classroom to Support ELA and Visual Learning
Courtesy of
Jackie Myers
The Art of Education University
Literacy in the art classroom can be accessible and fun! Students can comprehend at a higher language level when listening than when reading. Reading aloud teaches important skills such as concentration and context to create meaning. It can also expose students to new worlds and perspectives and grow their language bank. When we can help students grow their writing, reading, and critical thinking skills, it can support deeper artmaking and appreciation. Pair book literacy with visual literacy in the art room and see amazing things happen!
The University of Kansas discussed the importance of literacy and defined it as the ability to communicate clearly and effectively. ELA literacy focuses on reading, writing, listening, and speaking. Visual literacy focuses on identifying, reading, and understanding images. Living in an image-based world, colors, shapes, and even emojis are parts of visual literacy. Understanding both of these areas of literacy and how they impact each other is necessary to thrive in today’s society.
