Relevant Workshop: Learning Through the Arts in Higher Education
Learning through the Arts in Higher Education
Thursday, Feb. 11
4:00 p.m.- 6:00 p.m. | Teaching Resources Center, 25 Wellman
Do you wonder why your students are always looking gloomy in class and their best part of your class is when it is time to leave? Do not worry! Hope is in sight! Learning through the Arts in Higher Education could be an innovating, non-conventional and contemporary approach to teaching. You can bring some life into the classroom by improving your teaching techniques through the arts. No registration necessary. For more information about this workshop please contact Sharada Balachandran Orihuela at sbalacha@ucdavis.edu. Sponsored by the Teaching Resources Center.
Mission Statement
As students in higher education progress through school and through life, “the visual and performing arts not only provide avenues for creative expression, but also assist in the fashioning of cognitive tools and the enhancing of interpersonal understanding. Drama, music, dance, visual and digital art, help bridge differences among academic disciplines, cultures, and generations. The sense of wonder engendered by the arts encourages wide-ranging interests that may support more systematic inquiry” throughout the students’ academic careers and life. The purpose of our workshop Learning through the Arts in Higher Education is to create new strategies for Teaching Assistants to actively engage students in the learning process, stimulate students to expand the scope of academic thinking and increase the possibilities for a more interactive and diverse way of learning and living.
