Introduction to Crayola creatEDWhat is going to be different about this Professional Learning experience?• Approach—View PD from the strength lens. The answers lie within you when asked

relevant essential questions.• Content—Immersed in the creative process that enriches all teaching and learning.• Your Role—as a Teacher Leader/Coach. Throughout the day be thinking about how you

will redeliver this to colleagues.

We’ll be immersed in a joyous, impactful, colorful hands‐on learning process. High levels of personal engagement are good pedagogy—and good andragogy. We know children need to be actively engaged to learn—the same is true for adult learners.

Today’s hands‐on experiences will reawaken your creative energy. You will work in small groups to reach alignment on your vision for creative teaching and learning.  Today is not a day to sit passively and listen. Instead, you will be actively engaged in gathering new insights and applying them to your learning community.

This is the outline of the 4 units being covered in today’s PD.We are excited to be sharing this information with the Creative Leadership Teams attending the PD today. As you engage in the exercises and participate in the discussions, think about how you will redeliver this PD to your colleagues. The slides are available to you in the online creatED community. 

The Journal has additional content that you can share with colleagues as you redeliver these workshops. Throughout the day we will point out content in the Journal that we won’t have time to dive into now, but want to make sure you are aware of so you can use it in your PLCs.

Our Day is built around 4 units that you will be able to use with colleagues, pull exercises for parent meetings, and translate into classroom projects.

You’ll notice in each Unit that we build the sessions around a consistent rhythm.               1. Essential Questions—ask participants to think about the information in a new context and build upon participants’ insights.2. Share Art Inspiration and use that as a springboard for hands‐on art—an opportunity foryou to Make Your Thinking Visible.3. Classroom Application—share idea starters for how to cascade this experience intoproject‐based learning that your students explore.4. Reflective Prompts—think of how the experience will inform your teaching practice andyour colleagues.5. Plan next steps—How will you use these experiences and share these insights?

This approach is highly interactive and helps achieve the overarching objective:  to increase creative capacity school‐wide.

To convince others we need to understand them and get insight into what issues they think are barriers.

Often our own enthusiasm can cloud how we see others’ point-of-view.

Consider the Expression—”the elephant in the room” what are the issues that everyone knows are there but isn’t being addressed… this creative exercise, will help bring those issues (which seem invisible) out on the table so they can be discussed.

Participants may remember the 3 types of knots from the Confronting Fears Knot Ball exercise, done in CL Yr 1.The same 3 Knots are relevant to Convincing Others.

1. “Knot See”—lack of awareness 2. “Knot Want”—afraid of embracing goal or moving into action3. “Knot Know”—lack understanding of how to or why to change.

Unraveling these “knots” creates teachable moments  and emotionally prepares people to embrace change.

Each of the Creative Leadership sessions includes Fine Art inspiration and hands on art experience.

Facilitator: If time you can discuss FAPE and the artists. If pacing is tight move directly to next slide. How many of you are familiar with FAPE, the Foundation for Art and Preservation in Embassies? They provide American Art to our Embassies around the world, using art as cultural diplomacy.

Two pieces from their art collection are these works by Helen Frankenthaler and Laurie Simmons. Who is aware of these artists and their work?Facilitator: If no one can provide brief info, here is some background to share about the artists.

Helen Frankenthaler was an abstract expressionist painter whose work can be found at the MOMA in NYC and museums around the world. She painted for nearly six decades, with a variety of styles and phases. Her composition usually simplifies large, abstract forms that radiate energy or a calmness with her choice of vibrant or muted colors. A technique she is known for is the “soak stain” which creates a translucent effect that enables viewers to see color washed over underlying images.

Laurie Simmons is a photographer who stages scenes for her camera. She often uses dummies and typical furnishings to convey unconventional settings. Her work urges viewers to suspend belief and move to the realm between fantasy, fiction, memories and dreams. Her work urges viewers to interject their own thoughts and visualizations into the environment she casts.

The hands on art exercise (an example in right corner) is based on the inspiration of these two artists.

Facilitator—divide the participants into small groups or pairs so they can discuss the essential questions as prompts before they sketch and paint their artwork.Please turn to page 6 in your Journals. Spend just a moment or two talking with the person next to you, responding to these prompts.

Page 13: CL Yr2 Unit 1 Convince Others with notes - Crayola/media/Education/creatEDredeli… · Startwith Unit 1 Convince Others. Please turn to page 3 in Reflection Journal to see what we’ll

There are 4 steps to this hands on art experience. First, small groups (or pairs) will discuss the Essential Questions (on next slide) so we can wrap our heads around others’ points-of-view.

Then each person will visualize an elephant in the room, a barrier that isn’t being addressed. Think of the stakeholders who need to buy-in to the school vision (teacher colleagues, parents, district leaders, community members, etc.)

To create the artwork, we’ll use crayon‐watercolor resist. When you draw or write with a white crayon on white paper, it lingers there, invisible, until you paint a watercolor wash over it.  It might help you to visualize a meeting where you’re trying to convince others of the art‐infused vision. It might be a staff meeting or PLC meeting where you are redelivering this PD. (Or a parent meeting, a school board meeting, or a conversation with a colleague.) 

You may want to sketch the “points‐of‐view” that various participants in the meeting or conversation bring to the table. What are others eager to openly discuss? What are the issues that aren’t being addressed? Use a white crayon on the white paper to sketch those invisible but ever‐present issues. The “elephant in the room” is just as real although it doesn’t typically get addressed. 

Decide in your school what are the fears, barriers, challenges that are boldly addressed and which are “passive aggressive” or “lingering problems” that need to get out on the table? Where would fear of AYP and test scores

go? Are wobbly nervous knees shaking under the table as a teacher fears that traditional teaching methods are being dismissed. Does a parent worry about the students’ future, global competitiveness and unemployment figures. Whatever is drawn with the white crayon makes the images difficult to see. Then paint a light watercolor wash across the paper. The invisible issues surface. Explore the reflective prompts and prepare to discuss the issues lurking in the school.

Before you make your art, it helps to see how others have approached.Let’s look at some examples. There are two examples on page 7 in your Journal. Each visual tells a different story: Facilitator—the first two examples are in their Journals, so a participant might read aloud to the full

group the example in the upper left corner: “I sketched a pyramid where core subjects, testing, and college readiness were foundational. My message is written on the border, “It’s time for arts advocates to band together to show where art fits in. Art improves attendance and test scores. We have the compelling evidence and need to bring it to the table.” 

And another participant might read the story for the image in the middle shows dark clouds of skeptics. “I’m not creative.” “We need to focus on reading.” “It’s not tested, so why do it?” “I’m worried about my job security.” Around the border are answers to shed light on those clouds, “Use art in reading & math to visualize concepts.” “Art supports classroom curriculum and better test scores.” “Art increases engagement.” “There are many ways of being creative.”

Facilitator: depending on pacing may have time for you to review other examples beyond those in the Journal. Top right: “This art says, they are “Making mountains out of mole hills: test scores, accountability,

time, personal agendas, stagnation.” “Share Compelling Evidence and Let’s Collaborate. Partners—You aren’t alone.”

Lower right corner: Barriers include, “Not my vision” and “Easy-Fluff”. Messages to over come barriers include “Partnership, data driven resources, and communicate.”

Lower left corner: Barriers are a swirl of excuses including: “not enough money or energy or

collaboration.” Messages include: “Listen/look for opportunities,” “Focus on a core team,” “Use score cards to motivate,” “Be available and approachable,” and “One on one conversations”.

Page 17: CL Yr2 Unit 1 Convince Others with notes - Crayola/media/Education/creatEDredeli… · Startwith Unit 1 Convince Others. Please turn to page 3 in Reflection Journal to see what we’ll

Ask participants to gather these supplies from their bags and that items in green will be delivered to their tables.

Page 18: CL Yr2 Unit 1 Convince Others with notes - Crayola/media/Education/creatEDredeli… · Startwith Unit 1 Convince Others. Please turn to page 3 in Reflection Journal to see what we’ll

Facilitator: post this slide while they are creating. Based the amount of time they have to create on your agenda and pacing. Tell them how much time they have for creating their art.

Page 19: CL Yr2 Unit 1 Convince Others with notes - Crayola/media/Education/creatEDredeli… · Startwith Unit 1 Convince Others. Please turn to page 3 in Reflection Journal to see what we’ll

Facilitator: Post this slide when it is time for the teams to stop creating, and start their Presenting/Responding/Connecting. Remind participants that Create. Present. Respond. Connect are the four artistic processes that set the framework for the New National Art Standards. We use them in PD to making thinking visible, to analyze our work and learn from work done by others. 

Tell them how much time they have to share and then post the next slide which has the present & respond prompts.

Use these reflective prompts to Present. Respond. Connect. Describe your art and how this could help convince others.

Page 21: CL Yr2 Unit 1 Convince Others with notes - Crayola/media/Education/creatEDredeli… · Startwith Unit 1 Convince Others. Please turn to page 3 in Reflection Journal to see what we’ll

Think of who might not yet be supporting this initiative and how your key messages can be customized to address their interests/concerns.

When there are changes in staff or administration, or you encounter parents who are new to the art-integration approach, consider how to convince them.

As Rachel Goslins, former Executive Director of the President’s Committee on the Arts and the Humanities loves to say, “Arts‐infused education is not just the flower that beautifies schools, it is the tool that fixes them. Art transforms schools. 

Do you believe the statement about art being the tool that fixes schools?Could this be a springboard for your discussion with parents?What essential questions, hands‐on art exercises, artifacts, and compelling evidence could help you convince parents?

Facilitator: if not time for them to do this exercise in the PD session, point out that page 11 has an additional advocacy exercise that they can do with colleagues, helping to identify how they convince others of the benefits of arts‐infused, project‐based learning and customize that message for parents, policy makers, other educators?

Why stories? Humans are drawn to stories. There are 2 great books that address why stories are so powerful: Lori Silverman’s Wake Me up When the Data is Over and Annette Simmon’s Whoever Tells the Best Story Wins.

A quote from Annette Simmons… “People float in an ocean of data and disconnected facts that overwhelm them with choices… In this ocean of choice, a meaningful story can feel like a life preserver that tethers us to something safe, important, and believable than disembodied data and facts.”

Turn to page 15 in the Journal.Consider the POWER of STORYTELLING to convince others.

Talk with a person sitting next to you and jot some notes on page 15 about Transforming Information into an Effective Story.

Now we’re going to look at Public Art as Storytelling.

There are a wealth of resources available from the Cooper Hewitt Education Department, online at the Smithsonian Learning Lab Website.Page 16 in the Journals contains the URL and the QR code so that anytime you can go to this site that has many examples art of their collection.

This mural was done by Jacob Lawrence.

Remember SEEK from the Multiliteracies PD. It is a series of 4 questions that helps us read art for insights.As a group, let’s call out some responses to SEEK.See: What story do you see in this mural?Evidence: What evidence supports your comment?Explain: The artist’s intent. What draws your eye through the mural?Know: What do you know and want to know?

Facilitator: If time, you could share quote from Jacob Lawrence about this art:

Walking the streets of Jamaica, Jacob Lawrence reported, “I was aware of the warmth, rapport, and the exciting movement and counter movements of its many inhabitants. The geometric and organic structures of the doors and various kinds of apparel and facial expressions give an overall special quality to a stimulating and unique environment.”How does this quote reinforce some of the insights you shared in your discussions? Where was your eye drawn? Patterns and contrasts of colors, the organic and geometricshapes, movements, proportions of characters, faces? Was there a sense of energy and warmth was well as movement that Lawrence was striving to convey in this piece of public art?

You will also remember from our previous PD, that we used the OASIS coaching protocol. OASIS can also be used to read public art. On page 17 in the Journal, you can jot notes while, as a full group, we read this mural using OASIS.Observe: What do you observe in the mural?Align: How is the artist trying to align viewers to a common point‐of‐view or convince them of a key message?Self‐Reflect: How does this art affect you?Scaffold: What would build your understanding of the context and content in this mural?

Page 30: CL Yr2 Unit 1 Convince Others with notes - Crayola/media/Education/creatEDredeli… · Startwith Unit 1 Convince Others. Please turn to page 3 in Reflection Journal to see what we’ll

This is another mural from the Cooper Hewett Smithsonian collection.We will use the OASIS protocol to examine the way this public art tells a story and the artist intends to convince others. We’ll review the series of prompts and then give you a moment to go back to a section so you can jot some responses in your Journal.Turn to page 18 in your Journal.

The art title is Early Hobart, a mural study for Hobart, Indiana Post Office done by  William Adelbert Dolwick in1938.

OBSERVE: What do you observe in the mural? Cite evidence that explains the story you see.

Explore the characters and placement in the mural. What are their conversations about? Look at the overall landscape and architecture. How would you describe the interactions or transactions. How do your observations form a story that this public art is telling?

How does a mural or any piece of public art serve to convey a public message that can:Be Visionary?Spark courageous conversations?Create a sense of unity and shared purpose?Be divisive or controversial?Isolate those who are disenfranchised in the scene?Honor controversial individuals?

And on the bottom of page 20…

SCAFFOLD:

How can we scaffold this experience into an advocacy lesson for

colleagues and students? How would you use the insights from this

exercise to crate a mural that advocates for your school vision?

Take just a moment and jot some of your thoughts in response to the

prompts on pages 18-20.

As we read public art using SEEK and OASIS you can see the power of art as a persuasive language. 

How would you create public art that creates an overall impression others OBSERVE as an ALIGNED common vision showing the positive IMPACT of arts on learning and engagement?

In this next activity, you will sketch puzzle pieces that plan a piece of public art, (a mural or statue) that conveys your advocacy message about arts in education. 

32

Page 36: CL Yr2 Unit 1 Convince Others with notes - Crayola/media/Education/creatEDredeli… · Startwith Unit 1 Convince Others. Please turn to page 3 in Reflection Journal to see what we’ll

You can either sketch on the planning puzzle pieces on page 22 in the Journal or use the sketch pads.As you plan your mural or statue think about the OASIS prompts.

Facilitator: depending on the pacing, determine how much time they have for the sketching and sharing exercise.

Advocacy art takes on big issues.Page 23 in the Journal asks us to consider public art that is less permanent than a mural or statue. How do advocates convey messages using key symbols and crisp wording on posters and buttons?

These examples of advocacy or activist art, and others, can be found in the Cooper Hewett collection.

Facilitator—depending on the pacing and time available you might introduce the images on this slide and the next slide, highlight the prompts on pages 23 and 24 and then provide a few minutes for participants to decide which of the prompts they want to respond in the Journal. Page 25 brings this section together with them sketching the poster or button. If participants don’t have time to do this in the PD session, point out how they can use pages 24‐25 with colleagues and students.

Facilitator: depending on pacing, you may need to announce that… Or if time, give them about 6 minutes to quickly sketch some symbols. We don’t have time in the PD session today to create the posters, signs, badges or buttons, put want to point out to you page 25 and urge you to do this exercise within your schools.When you share this with colleagues and students, point out that the key to Advocacy Art is to keep the visual simple and words crisp and compelling.

After everyone has sketched a sign, poster or button ask them to mingle around the room and find a person to engage with. ead the messages on each others’ signs. Who might agree  or disagree with that message? Which visual symbols were most easily understood? Which messages crisply conveyed a point‐of‐view? Which signs were most effective and why?

How could this exercise be done with students to help them consider the power of art as a persuasive language and how their big ideas can be expressed with visual symbols and crisp messages.

Let’s think about how these ideas apply to art‐infused project‐based learning in the classroom. You will find these ideas on pages 26‐30 in the Journal.At the end of today’s session each of you will decide which Classroom Application working group you want to join. At the end of each unit we will show you a quick overview of the Classroom Application ideas. See which resonate with you the most and later this afternoon you will decide if you join the group working on Unit 1 or the other units we’ll cover today.

If you choice Unit 1, these are the idea starters you will build upon.

Build upon the exercise and art technique we did this morning, the crayon watercolor resist that reveals something that is lingering and needs to be addressed. You can use this to awaken students’ voices. What issues do students feel need to be addressed?

Students use art and writing to Convey and Convince.This idea starter is based on students exploring their individual learning styles and sharing their message in a way that convinces others.

The Power of Storytelling is very engaging for students and directly links art, leadership and literacy. Students would select an advocacy issue, conduct research and translate data into compelling stories.

Facilitator:During the afternoon break out sessions when teams work on Classroom Applications, if unit 1 group gets stuck, this is often a good idea starter to use as a beginning springboard. Urge them to begin their exploration with a group discussion of the power of stories to engage others and convince them of an advocates’ point of view. Suggest topics that are relevant within their school and tie to other initiatives, perhaps an empathy or positive behaviors initiative. Or topics of health and safety. (Resources on that can be found on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website where they post facts about illnesses and health risks. For example, the risks of influenza and benefits of flu vaccines. Read a short story about the influenza epidemic or one child who died of the flu in our current era of modern medicine. Or read the fact sheet on use of seat belts or bike helmets. Read a short story about a child who was injured in a car or bike accident. Ask students how the story helped to personalize the message and make the emotional connection that inspires them to follow healthy/safe habits.)

Public Art as Storytelling. Just like we looked at public murals, so too students can explore the use of public art as storytelling.An example is Roy Lichtenstein’s Greene Street mural that is being installed at the U.S. Embassy in Mexico, by the Foundation for Art and Preservation in Embassies. What story does this mural tell? How does it convey a message about daily life and everyday objects? How can this art be read using OASIS, as a way to convince others?

Art as a Persuasive Language.Student create advocacy art in the form of either posters, banners, signs, or buttons.This is effective for every grade level and could be a school wide project where each class determine their advocacy issue. Turn to pages 31‐35 in the Journal. This planning framework should look familiar from your other creatED Journals. It is the place to take notes on the Preparation, Collaboration, Implementation, and Reflection you will do as you bring these ideas from the PD into your classrooms. Page 36 is an example of an Authentic Assessment rubric. Page 37 is where you can create your own Authentic Assessment rubric.

Facilitator: If during the afternoon break out groups, Unit 1 gets stuck, this is also another idea starter that could be an easy starting point for them. Ask them to explore what advocacy issues might be relevant in their school and how this project might be implemented school wide. Explain some examples: Younger students tend to focus on personal values or topics related to their self‐identity and priorities. They might have an individual passion for an issue like “Don’t Litter” or “Recycle.”As students mature they move from personal and family issues to topics that impact the broader community—usually progressing to neighborhood, town, city, then state, nation, and then global. Although age is not the only determining factor in how student‘s advocacy voice develops. When a topic deeply touches a child for whatever reason, they cultivate skills in articulating why it should matter to others. 

What do you think these two student posters are communicating?

The student on the left, from Bullis Charter School in CA wants to convince others of the risks the Panda population faces. The poster on the right, created by Zack A is about how important arts in education is for students to fulfill their dreams and have full freedom of self‐expression.What other topics would students be interested in creating posters or signs to convey messages that convince others?

Before we wrap up Unit 1, please turn to page 39 in the Journal. Just want to point out the article that was written by a guest author, and can be a valuable resource for your professional learning community. “Designing a Classroom Where Students are Decision Makers” pertains to the big idea we covered in Unit 1, how to Convince Others. You can easily use this article as something that faculty members read and then come together to discuss the questions on page 42. In this Journal we close each unit with an article or two that you can use for group discussions, so we’ll point them out as we go through the Journal.

Now please turn to page 38 and take a moment to reflect and plan your next steps, as we switch the projector over to Unit 2.Facilitator: We end every Creative Leadership unit by making sure participants reflect and plan how they will use the information. Ask participants to jot reflections and next steps in their Journals.
