This ARTS FOR ALL SPECIAL INIATIVE PROJECT provided a Teacher training at the Kentucky Art Education Association State Conference in Northern KY at Thomas More University. The artist, Kim Soule was able to share how to apply for an Arts for All Kentucky Art Inclusion Award and highlight the ways the award benefits all students. The teachers involved were instructed through a google slide presentation about how to create a self portrait. They were given a piece of foam board and acrylic paint to complete the process. During the session teachers were sharing about their struggles and successes with teaching students with special needs and adaptations were shared by not only the teaching artist but also the participants! Whenever teachers have time together to create and reflect it allows them to take something back to their own students! Each teacher left with ideas, encouragement and a sample of teaching a self portrait unit.
