ANNOUNCING NEW PROGRAM!
Multiple Connections is a value-added Roving Press program that has been created utilizing a cutting edge, "issues-based" framework. Issues-based curriculum is framed by universal human concepts that seamlessly integrate multiple disciplines and their corresponding core objectives. Multiple Connections encourages school children to learn about and appreciate the diverse cultures that are represented in their schools, neighborhoods and communities. This is achieved through three 45 minute lessons with a focus on self-discovery, discussion, the creation of art (monotype printmaking or photography) and critique. Funding for Multiple Connections has been made possible, in part, by a grant from the Victoria Foundation.
For information on how to bring this exciting program to your school please contact us at education@printnj.org.
