Teach Art Deco
A professional development morning for Texas K-12 teachers

About This Professional Development Opportunity
Long before screens, illustrators sold the world an entire era. They gave Art Deco its glamour, its speed, its sense that something new was on the way.
Teach Art Deco Like an Illustrator is a professional development morning that explores how innovation, design, advertising, and consumer culture grew up together in the early 20th century. Through the eyes of an illustrator, Texas K-12 teachers will see how visual art shaped public perception, popularity, and purchasing, and how the same principles apply to the visual world students live in now.
The session is built to give educators fresh, classroom-ready ideas that translate across subjects. Whether you teach art, social studies, ELA, or CTE, you will walk away with new ways to help students see how visual art moves culture.
