Teacher Workshop: Let’s Get Physical

Let’s Get Physical
Kinesthetic art ideas.
February 11, 2026

Let’s Get Physical and learn how to use the body as a tool for art making. In this energizing, hands-on workshop, educators will explore how movement, gesture, and kinesthetic learning can ignite creativity in the classroom. Participants will experiment with large-scale mark-making, collaborative motion-based activities, and techniques that encourage students to engage their whole bodies in the artistic process. This session offers practical strategies for supporting diverse learners, building confidence through play, and bringing physical expression into everyday art lessons.

No experience is required. Classroom teachers can earn two professional clock hours. This workshop is FREE for all Art Start NW partnership teachers and Para-professionals. Cost for non-partnership teachers, Para-professionals, and volunteers is $10. Everyone is welcome to attend, so bring a friend! All supplies are included. Light refreshments will be provided.

We are excited to work with our 2025-26 partnership schools: Chase Lake Elementary, Cedar Valley Elementary, College Place Elementary, Lynndale Elementary, Spruce Elementary, College Place Middle, Alderwood Middle and Madrona 7th and 8th grade.
