Build your schedule - Be sure to read the descriptions!: Please note that adding a session to your schedule DOES NOT guarantee you a seat in the room. We allow attendees to select multiple sessions per time slot when creating their schedule to allow for maximum flexibility on the day of Convention. All sessions are first come, first served, unless otherwise stated in the session description. Some sessions are double sessions and some require pre-registration and may have a fee to cover costs of materials. Please read and follow the instructions in the descriptions. We are excited to include several off-site sessions this year, so be sure to check the location as well.
3. New schedule - There are four time slots when sessions are held on each day. Sessions are 70 minutes long and there is 20 minutes between sessions to allow time to get to the other venue(s) if necessary. Session 1: 9am-10:10am Session 2: 10:30am-11:40am Lunch 11:40am-12:40pm Session 3: 12:40pm-1:50pm Session 4: 2:10pm-3:20pm

Come and build an art explosion book from scratch, using watercolours, paint pens, liners, ribbons and more! Students are always so proud of these artistic creations, and love the open-endedness of the designs. This is a wonderful project that integrates abstract art with crafting, resulting in a unique masterpiece. This session is designed for the middle school years, but with a little bit of creativity and problem solving, it can easily be adapted for other grade levels. Come and make a mess, and have a lot of fun! PRE-REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED - Contact the speaker at andrea.daly@spschools.org *$10.00 registration fee

Fully hands-on, relaxing and creative... come and participate in an artsy session where you create exemplars to bring back to your classroom. You will be introduced to several projects using zentangle techniques, and opportunities to experiment with neurographic art... both types of art are wonderful for calming the senses and creating a peaceful classroom. Play with watercolours, prismacolours, collages, watercolour pencils and more. This session is planned for the middle years, but with a little bit of creativity and problem-solving, you could adapt these lessons for other age groups.
