Cochran facilitates workshops, displays art at Blue Heron

Last Friday (Nov. 2) Michelle Cochran, Art and Design, K-12 Reading Teacher Program, facilitated two workshops at the 2007 Fall Art Educators of Minnesota Conference, held at the Earl Brown Center in Minneapolis. The title of her presentation was “Supporting Literacy Development within the art room: with special attention to struggling readers and writers.”

The presentation included ideas she has found while doing research for Masters of Literacy Education and teaching art.

Cochran’s art is on display at the Blue Heron on Second Street. She is showcasing a series of color pencil drawings of plants native to Minnesota and Wisconsin until Dec. 31. The display is free and open to the public.
