 Presenting Storyboard
Putting the Art in Steam
A Round Table with Steam Art Professionals followed by workshops to bring Steam into the classroom. Mike Hagen - Google Engineer and artist. When Mike isn't working behind the scenes as a Google Engineer, he applies his knowledge of engineering and technology to make art using laser engravers and 3-D printers. Workshop - We took a trip to a CTE classroom to see how art can be made with laser engravers and 3-D printers. Ken Spiering - Artist & Art Educator Teaching watercolor with courage. We learned how to create vivid watercolor painting using simple forms of fruit and vegetables as inspiration. Ken taught us how to paint boldly with watercolors and explore the colors underlying the objects. Carl Beyer- Producer Carl shared stories and insights of twenty-six years producing feature length animations such as PARANORMAN, Diary of a Whimpy Kid, Fx effects for Star Trek, Resident Evil and Hellboy. Denise Miller - Fine Artist, Commercial Artist and Art Director. Capture the eye... Engage the mind... and Stir the heart. This has been Denise’s mantra in both her commercial art and fine arts world. Denise is a visual storyteller, with over 25 years of experience. Denise introduced us to teamwork and story boards describing how it is important in commercial art. Jennifer Johanson - Teaching Art with Science in a steam classroom Workshop - Fostering Student collaboration Through STEAM Technology. Pilar Biller showed us how to teach creativity! |
