In what ways can play develop curiosity in our students? How does investigation and risk taking build more inquisitive and imaginative minds? How can art educators model play and celebrate curiosity?
The Art Educators of Iowa invite educators to embrace the unknown and play! Join us in the act of play to bring wonder and authentic art making experiences into your teaching practice. Learn how to support these behaviors that will develop our students into resilient problem-solvers for the future.
