2. Design professionals, with at least 1 semester of Foundations teaching experience.
3. Foundations Coordinators, with at least 2 semesters of Foundations leadership experience.

What is Integrative Teaching?
Thinktank4 is designed for studio artists who are interested in teaching at the college level. Integrative teaching creates connections between your personal creativity and creativity in your teaching.

What are your responsibilities?
Prior to the ThinkTank, a list of required readings will be sent to all participants. Participants must attend all ThinkTank sessions, and will be required to submit two assignment sheets and one syllabus for the ThinkTank Archive.

Why attend?
ThinkTank4 is a great opportunity to expand your skills, knowledge, and experience, and puts you in direct contact with higher education experts. Past ThinkTanks have attracted studio artists, designers, and art educators from around the country.
