Art education students at Northern Arizona University (NAU) are leading a series of workshops to help them practice teaching while bringing art to spaces across Flagstaff. Among the places art education students will be leading 12 workshops this winter are Willow Bend Environmental Education Center, the Peaks Senior Living Community, after-school programs at two Flagstaff Unified School District schools and the Boys and Girls Club. NAU students leading the workshops vary from those just entering the art education program to those getting ready to leave the university and enter their own classrooms. The almost 60 students participating in the project are in two classes -- Foundations in Art Education and Children’s Art Program -- as well as several practicum students. She said her interest in art education started with a love of art and a desire to help young artists.
