Dr. Louisa Penfold, Co-Chair of Arts and Learning, Harvard Graduate School of Education (HGSE), returns to the ArtLab this Fall to lead a series of studio workshops for the HGSE course, “Contemporary Art in Early Childhood Education.”
Participants explore the potential of modern and contemporary art in young children’s learning through hands-on experimentation with art media, including paint, cardboard, light, plastic, clay, and sound. Through studio workshop activities, students investigate the possibilities of New Materialism in creative learning – a theoretical orientation that positions materials and architectural spaces as active forces in knowledge production.
