The Bates College Museum of Art hosts a Teachers\u2019 Workshop in association with its featured exhibition Starstruck: The Fine Art of Astrophotography<\/a>, from 2-4 p.m. on Friday, August 24 at the Bates College Museum of Art.<\/p>\n

Starstruck features 106 images by 37 artists from 5 continents.\u00a0 The photographs are installed in groups dealing with the Sun, the Earth, the Moon and Planets, Stars, Star Birth, Star Death, and Galaxies.\u00a0 Some are of historic significance, such as the first photograph of the solar analemma, and the largest image of an external galaxy.\u00a0 Astronomy is at the very center of the physical sciences, and, due to its importance throughout history, it is related to every subject across the liberal arts curriculum.<\/p>\n

The Teacher\u2019s Workshop will include an introduction to the exhibition; presentations of strategies by two local teachers: Nancy Flick ( 4th<\/sup> Grade) and Joyce Bucciantini (Middle School), who have developed units incorporating Starstruck in their teaching; \u00a0schedule of fall Starstruck events open to the public;\u00a0 a bibliography of children\u2019s books dealing with astronomy; and hands-on activities for all ages levels; a copy of the Starstruck poster for your classroom; and refreshments.<\/p>\n

This workshop is FREE,<\/strong> but space is limited and advance registration is required.\u00a0 To reserve your place, please contact Anne Odom at aodom@bates.edu<\/a> or call 207-786-8212.<\/p>\n
