Educators from the National Museum of Women in the Arts (NMWA) and The Phillips Collection come together with WISIT participants to celebrate American artists of color, consider the power of creative communities, and experience the rewarding complexity of looking at artwork pairings. Through gallery discussions using Harvard Project Zero thinking routines, and engaging in intentional jotting, playful doodling, and a culminating collaborative art activitiy, participants will learn about the rich and restorative stories of the featured artists. Participants will be empowered to create both independently and collectively. Time will be set aside to reflect on how activities can be adapted for the classroom. 

Participants will meet in the Great Hall at the National Museum of Women in the Arts.
