SUMMARY:Art Unleashed: A creative Writing Adventure
DESCRIPTION:Register here. \nAges 12-18 \nEver wondered what a painting might say if it could talk? Or What secrets a sculpture might whisper? In this four-part workshop\, we’ll dive into the world of art and storytelling\, using the museum’s amazing collection to spark our own tales. We’ll uncover hidden stories in brushstrokes\, imagine the lives of the people in portraits\, and create new worlds inspired by abstract shapes and colors. No art or writing experience needed – just a curious mind and willingness to have fun with words! \nAbout the Instructor: \nValerie Delp of Two Roads Learning: \nAs a dedicated educator with over 25 years of experience\, I’ve had the privilege of nurturing the minds of diverse learners and crafting engaging learning journeys. Currently pursuing a Masters in Science in Learning Experience Design and Educational Technology\, I’m constantly seeking innovative ways to shape the future of education and to touch the lives of my students. \nMy current role involves creating vibrant and tailored curricula for homeschooling students. I am incredibly invested in finding opportunities for my students\, especially those who are neurodivergent learners. My classroom is a place where I am committed to providing a supportive and inclusive environment where every individual’s unique strengths are celebrated. My classroom is not just a place of learning; it’s a space where laughter\, exploration\, and growth intersect. \nI firmly believe that learning extends beyond textbooks and exams. It’s about nurturing a lifelong thirst for knowledge\, and I instill this philosophy in my students. With my students\, I champion the process of trying new things\, making mistakes\, and confronting challenges. Through these experiences\, we cultivate resilience and develop a genuine love for learning. \nhttps://www.facebook.com/TwoRoadsLearning/?_rdr \nhttps://www.lovetoknow.com/about/team/valorie-delp

SUMMARY:Advanced Creative Writing Class
DESCRIPTION:Register Here. \nFor ages 12-18 \nCalling all passionate young writers! Step into the inspiring atmosphere of the art museum and take your writing to the next level. This advanced workshop is designed for dedicated middle and high school students who are eager to hone their skills and explore new creative territory. \nEach session will begin with a challenging writing exercise or prompt designed to challenge students and their writing skills. We’ll delve into techniques for developing characters\, constructing compelling plots\, crafting vivid descriptions\, and experimenting with different genres and styles. The second half of each class will be dedicated to your own writing projects. Whether you’re working on a short story\, novel\, play\, or poems\, you’ll have the opportunity to share your work\, receive constructive feedback from your peers and instructor\, and collaborate on new ideas. We’ll also explore how art can inspire our writing\, drawing on the museum’s vast collection to spark our imaginations. \nThis is not your average writing class. It’s a supportive community of young writers\, a space for experimentation and growth\, and a chance to discover the full potential of your unique voice. Taught by Valorie Delp\, founder of KVD Education & Two Roads Learning. \n** MoCA CT has regular Open Mic events where you can share your work with an audience. \nAbout the Instructor: \nKimberly Shapiro\, MS\, NCC: \nKimberly Laiso Shapiro is a compassionate and experienced  counselor and coach\, specializing in helping children with reserved or mild-moderately anxious temperaments. With a Master of Science degree and certification as a National Certified Counselor\, Kimberly offers a unique\, empathetic approach that empowers clients to focus on the present and build a future they can be proud of. \nWith 10 years of school counseling experience under my belt\, I have learned a lot about the troubles that children are currently facing.  While difficult behaviors\, self-harm\, and very strong emotions are beyond my current scope\, I am happy to work with children struggling with self-esteem\, mild anxiety\, and low confidence. \nhttps://www.newtownbee.com/02072020/snapshot-kimberly-shapiro/ \nhttps://www.kindmindscoach.com/
