Dress to Express: A Cultural Framework for Using Dress and Adornment in the Arts Classroom

Saturday March 22, 2025 8:00am - 8:50am EDT

Dress to Express creates an authentic context for learning through culture. From sartorial autobiography and self-portraits to inquiry-based explorations of aesthetics, visual communication strategies, and cultural coding, how we dress proves a compelling platform that enhances culturally responsive arts pedagogy. Expect engagement and creative collaboration.
