Description

Pixar Animation Studios has been one of the most influential animation studios in the past two decades, producing the seminal Toy Story series and Finding Nemo, among others.

In Creativity, Inc.: Overcoming the Unseen Forces that Stand in the Way of True Inspiration, Ed Catmull, co-founder of Pixar, explores the ideals and philosophies behind the creative environment that was essential to the development of their films. Beyond the practical advice about establishing a creative culture, Catmull strives to give us “an expression of the ideas that I believe make the best in us possible.”

This discussion for area teachers will be led by UMS Teaching Artist Emily Barkakati. UMS "Reading Culture" Book Clubs for educators expand and build upon ideas within the UMS season of events using relevant works of literature. In these facilitated sessions, participants explore and express opinions about stimulating books and learn strategies for leading classroom book discussions.

The first 30 registrants receive a free copy of the book. Registration is required, but there is no charge for this workshop.
