FALL EDUCATOR WORSHOP - The Geometry of Creativity: Exploring the Intersection of Art and Math
October 23rd, 5-8pm and October 24th 8am-12pm
Registration: $80/person
The Geometry of Creativity: Exploring the Intersection of Art and Math
The Fall Educator Workshop is packed with creativity, exploration, and geometry, as it aims to enhance the understanding and appreciation of both math and art. Math draws upon Art just as artists draw upon mathematics; and when they come together, students will be inspired to see math as a beautiful and creative subject. This two-day workshop will embody making, thinking, and imagining. We’ll build our skills and explore mathematical ideas through hands-on projects such as creating Islamic geometric patterns, glass mosaics, and 3D exploration, along with an opportunity to tour ‘Celebrate! An 18-Year Legacy of Kiln formed Glass.’ Projects are designed for K-12, and materials will be selected with consideration for school budgets.
OSPI STEM clock hours can be earned.

Discover how art can serve as a dynamic bridge between environmental science, mathematics, and creative expression in this inspiring educator workshop designed for teachers seeking interdisciplinary approaches and STEM Clock Hours.
Join fellow educators and teaching artists for a hands-on weekend exploring how eco-conscious art practices can deepen student understanding of environmental systems, material science, and data-informed design. Through project-based learning experiences, participants will examine how recycled and natural materials open opportunities to teach scientific inquiry, engineering thinking, measurement, and problem-solving within the art classroom.
Educators will:
Explore the science of sustainable materials and life cycles
Integrate environmental data, observation, and systems thinking into visual art projects
Connect design challenges to engineering principles and resource management
Discuss contemporary artists whose work addresses climate change and environmental justice
Participants will leave with ready-to-implement, standards-aligned lesson plans that support math and science integration while fostering environmental literacy and student advocacy. This workshop supports educators looking to meaningfully blend art, sustainability, and STEM learning — equipping you with practical tools to meet curriculum goals while inspiring the next generation of environmentally conscious thinkers.
