Program Structure

Overview
 * Discuss how resources related to image manipulation, data, and media can be utilized to engage students in critical thinking, research, and the creative process. Through hands on work, teachers will explore different resources available for students to integrate visual, text information, and digital processing.

Objectives
 * Discuss the role of creating context through content research- how have artists used images for both documentation purposes and for imagined alternatives? What can we learn from both?
 * Share how research development, storytelling, and technology integration are used in artistic practice.
 * Utilize digital media as a way to re-create, construct, and critically question “truth.”
