Summer Institute for Teachers

In keeping with our commitment to extending the benefits of art and design education to a broader community, Art Center offers a five-day summer design institute for K12 educators. The workshop teaches practical and effective design-based techniques and activities to integrate curriculum and improve student performance. The design process is emphasized as an effective method for teaching all subjects, increasing academic achievement, and delivering the required California standards.
