BONUS:
ANNIE'S NEW FAVORITE: Abstract pop-ups inspire figures of speech and more. Inspired by the abstract
pop-up engineering of David Carter whose books are in major art museum stores and on Amazon, Annie spent
two weeks developing a brilliantly colored abstract lesson for 3rd grade through adult artists using just
3 design elements. Following Carter's habit of adding text after design, students embellish with alliteration,
metaphor, or even ABC fanciful word inventions. See photos on home page.
1. AUTHOR-ILLUSTRATOR STORYTIME & HAND PRINT COLOR WHEEL WORKSHOPS:
Annie reads her children's book, Vincent
and Jake Learn Color Mixing and demonstrates the 'paw' print color wheel included in the story.
Schools love having Annie do a Family Art Night with story reading followed by families making
hand print wheels. Annie has tarps, buckets, rags, paint, and books.

2.VISUAL ART AND LANGUAGE ART-NATURAL LINKS:
Fabulous Face in a Frame that Fits-an imaginative, simple
crayon resist and water color lesson that combines Annie's color and design methods with
writing, content knowledge and main idea with supporting details. Tested nationally, a
favorite at all ages. "Drawing predictions" based on text, is also a well-tested art &
literacy event. Combine with #3, below for a full day that links visual thinking with
language or content studies.
3.BLOCK METAPHOR & VISUAL THINKING
Use a variety of visual strategies including children's blocks, to help clarify new material, recall learned concepts,
show new ideas, demonstrate understanding of complex stories, facts and relationships in
science, social studies, literature and more. Use art media and hundreds of children's
wooden blocks to construct meaning.
4. DRAWING AND CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT:
Learn to create drawing prompts that help children create new
ways to show information, relationships, creative perspectives, social and cultural ideas
and much more. Learn to 'read children's art' (non-psychologically) to find out what the
child knows and what has meaning. Also learn how to teach observation drawing skills in
child-friendly ways that maintain personal creative growth while using technical skills
and new tools. Handouts. Slides.
5. CLAY AS A THINKING TOOL WITH NO FIRING:
Clay becomes a way to show learning and express new ideas inspired
by science, literature and social studies. Annie brings all tools and supplies. A very popular
sequence K-6. Usually a 4-5 hour teacher workshop or a 3- hour children's lab. Includes clay
history told as a story, exploration making 'nothing you can name.' a super slab sampler done
with a partner, a board and a roller, an elaborate often ten foot long construction based on
a theme…water features, a park, geology or an imagined environment, for example. Recycling
and safety instructions. Handouts. Slides.
6. COLOR AND DESIGN FOR CHILDREN AND TEACHERS:
Offered as a workshop, a graduate course and a school residency that includes parent and staff
workshops, and co-teaching in each classroom. Children learn simple color theory to create their
own beautiful hand-painted papers from which endless 2-D collages and 3-D paper creations emerge
based on criteria and a lesson design that assures success. This residency demonstrates Annie's
management, art and assessment methods. Bold Bugs with real insect parts, Masks with Mood
inspired by world cultures, wearable art headdresses inspired by folk arts, entire rain forests,
a community of apartments and fruit stands, an imaginary garden with real flower parts.... what
can you imagine in brilliant 3D paper? Annie works with a teacher team to write benchmark-based
criteria and a full lesson designs. Handouts for all ideas.
7. THE BASICS-ELEMENTS AND PRINCIPLES
OF DESIGN FOR ALL AGES:
Struggling Artist exploration event, labeling and learning elements and principles, finding and
creating moods in own and artists work, color wheel creations, application in the classroom. Also
includes viewing beautiful art prints and using one or more of a dozen art literacy assignments
written to support Oregon state art standards. Printed handouts for all lessons.
8. COACHING: leadership
teams, mentoring principals, Working with schools on curriculum design, best practices and assessment-all part
of Annie's professional work.
