Take some time out after class to recharge and reflect through art! Join our free monthly online Art After School Visual Thinking Strategies (VTS) conversations exploring works of art from the NGV Collection. Led by NGV Educator and trained VTS facilitator, Leah Santilli, these sessions are a great opportunity to connect with fellow educators, share insights, and strengthen your own VTS skills through guided discussion and reflection.
Open to educators of all experience levels, however, some familiarity with VTS is beneficial.
Please note that the online meeting space will open at 3:45pm. Participants are invited to log on, say hello and share their experiences with VTS before the program officially commences at 4pm.
