Necessary Conversations: A Sheridan Center-RISD Museum Collaborative Series
These workshops explore strategies for teaching with objects as primary materials in courses across the disciplines. Particular attention is paid to techniques that encourage analytical reasoning, critical thinking, and observational skills, and to those that encourage discussion about history, culture, and the environment. All sessions are held at the RISD Museum.
