Art + Writing Experiences Expands to High Schools

WAM has expanded its Art + Writing Experiences (AWE) program to high schools. Offered Tuesday-Thursday, the AWE program offers the opportunity for close observation of art works in the museum setting, followed by a guided gallery-based writing experience. Elementary and middle school teachers may select an experience based on poetry or narrative writing. High school teachers may also select critical writing as an option. The program lasts 60-75 minutes. Maximum group size is 25 students. Plan and book your AWEsome experience by contacting Terri Dowell-Dennis at t_dowell@uncg.edu or 336-256-1449 at least three weeks in advance.

Fall 2011 writing activities focus on Point-of-View; "The Me Others See"; and Secret Identities & Alter Egos in conjunction with Persona: A Body in Parts.
