At the Flint Institute of Arts, 

we believe Art is a visual 

language. It is a portal 

to the inner world of a 

child and a tool that can 

communicate both truth 

and imagination. It is the 

basis for learning the skills of 

organization, cooperation, 

problem solving, focus 

and refinement. And it 

serves as the groundwork 

for developing patience, 

perseverance, determination 

and respect. Early childhood 

programs foster the 

development of reading, 

thinking, and creative 

skills needed to succeed in 

school and in life. A fee of 

$3 per student covers art 

materials.* 

*Fee discounts available based on 

percentage of students qualifying 

for free or reduced price lunch.

Bag it: Film in the Classroom 

Saturday, October 13, 9:45a-4:30p 

Lecture Room & Studio 5 

$75, .5 SB-CEU 

Bringing documentary films into the classroom can offer interesting 

and thought-provoking perspectives for students to discuss. While 

often times these films lack an entertaining edge, Bag It (2010) is a 

film that is just as likely to make you laugh, as it will make you think. 

During this workshop, view the film and learn how to integrate its 

message into your science, social studies, or art class. 

Editorial Cartoons: Bringing World Issues to the Classroom 

Saturday, November 10, 9:45a-4:30p 


$75, .5 SB-CEU 

Join Dr. Elaine K. Miller and learn how to bring discussion alive 

with dynamic editorial cartoons that capture key issues. Editorial 

cartoons are an engaging tool to stimulate classroom dialogue. 

The captivating messages increase visual literacy and awareness 

of metaphor as argument. At a more complex level, cartoons offer 

practice in interpretation of both visual and verbal messages that are 

often couched in metaphor. On the level of information, they are an 

excellent approach to discussion of current events, since they frame 

complex issues in a single compact image that serves to maintain 

focus. Additionally, cartoons from countries other than the U.S. 

more >

provide insights into humor, an especially productive and engaging 

way to foster cultural literacy. Students practice analytic and critical 

thinking (both verbal and visual) while being informed about current 

social and political issues on local, national and international levels. 

Winfred Rembert: Amazing Grace 

Saturday, January 26, 9:45a-4:30p 


$75, .5 SB-CEU 

Winfred Rembert’s art tells a story of courage and survival. He was 

born in rural Georgia in the 1950’s and was nearly lynched as a young 

man. While serving seven years on a prison chain gang, he learned 

to carve and dye leather. His richly colored paintings are reminiscent 

of the work of Jacob Lawrence and Horace Pippin. After a tour of the 

exhibition, Winfred Rembert: Amazing Grace with the artist, we’ll 

explore ways of creating images in Rembert’s style and discuss how to 

help students incorporate their own life experiences in their art. 

Thinking with Found Materials 

Saturday, February 23, 9:45a-4:30p 


$75, .5 SB-CEU 

Presented by Meghan Burch from the Eric Carle Museum of Picture 

Book Art, this workshop will introduce found materials as a means to

appreciate the book in its entirety. It is a wonderful method to use 

with any picture book containing notable art and design. Rosemary 

Agoglia, Curator of Education at The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book 

Art, will introduce participants to the Whole Book Approach along 

with other strategies for using art and illustration in the classroom. 

Animals & the Human Experience 

Saturday, April 20, 9:45a-4:30p 


$75, .5 SB-CEU 

From fables and folk tales to good luck symbols and guardian figures, 

animals have played an important role in defining the human 

experience. This workshop will focus on how animals have been 

used to explain the unknown, offer guidance in the afterlife, and

sculptures and masks from Central America, Africa, and Asia in the FIA

Picturing Writing: Fostering Literacy Through Art is an innovative, 

art-and-literature-based approach to writing, proven effective in

literacy learning. 

During this two-day professional development opportunity, teachers 

will experience the dynamic relationship between pictures and 

words. They will learn concrete methods for reaching reluctant 

writers through the implementation of Artists/Writers Workshop. 

Through hands-on experience and video visits to several classrooms, 

participants will witness how words can make a picture come alive!
