I may be wrong, but I think the workshop is on Friday, April 10. On my calendar April 13 is a Monday!
Have a happy Friday,
Nancy
I also have a quick question for you. Are those of us who signed up for this last fall automatically included in the 100 participants or do we have to fill out some amended registration form?
Thanks,
Nnacy
You are absolutely correct, April 10th is the Friday and that is the day of the session! Thank you for pointing this error out to me.
Good question! If you registered for the canceled fall session, you do NOT have to register again!
Happy Friday to you as well!
I attended a VTS workshop years ago at CMCA and found it intriguing and extremely helpful. I adopted the strategy and use it daily in my classroom. It really does help students, adults, anyone to voice their observations during discussions about art, art history…anything!
Thanks Vicky for your comment on the VTS workshop you attended. I am certain this one will be just as rewarding for participants.
