Call for K-12 educators! Come to the Henry and explore Vortexhibition Polyphonica, a new and dynamic exhibition of the museum’s collection. Join in lively discussions about art and meaning with the Henry’s education and curatorial staff. Learn how to analyze and make associations between the wide spectrum of the Henry’s holdings: 19th-century paintings, contemporary art and photography, textiles and costumes, ceramics, and the many other art objects on view. Explore ways to engage your students in discussions about art in a classroom and gallery setting. Take a close look at your classroom’s curriculum and find ways to infuse the art on view into social studies, language arts and other areas of study. Classroom ready art lessons will be demonstrated in the studio. Participants will also get a sneak preview of photography exhibitions Eirik Johnson: Sawdust Mountain and Mapplethorpe: Polaroids opening on October 24th. The training packet will include a CD-ROM with information, lessons and images.
Workshop is available for 4 clock hours. $15 workshop fee includes materials and lunch. Space is limited. 
Education programs at the Henry Art Gallery are made possible with generous support from the Paul G. Allen Family Foundation, ArtsFund, The Boeing Company, PONCHO, 4Culture/King County Lodging Tax Fund, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the Washington States Arts Commission.
