Teachers, environmental educators and anyone else who works with youth are invited to attend wildlife conservation and resource management workshops in Valley City or Bismarck this summer.
"A Visual Arts Approach to Teaching Life Science" is scheduled June 7-8 at the Valley City Area Teacher Center on the campus of Valley City State University, and June 29-30 at the North Dakota Game and Fish Department's main office in Bismarck.<br />
The workshop is fast-paced and offers a hands-on approach educators can use in their classrooms, and in discussing classroom and curriculum integration. Workshop participants will have the opportunity to experiment with different visual arts including clay, water media, pastel and colored pencil. No previous art experience is necessary or required, and all supplies are provided. Field trips will demonstrate the use of natural areas as classrooms.<br />
Workshop instructors are Sherry Niesar, a nationally recognized Project WILD educator and curriculum specialist with the North Dakota Game and Fish Department, and Paul Noot, a professional artist and visual arts teacher at Bismarck High School.<br />
A $20 registration fee is required for the Valley City workshop. To register, contact Sandy Zahn at (701) 845-7282, or email sandy.zahn@sendit.nodak.edu.<br />
