Liz Elsby, Art Educator, “Using Art to Effectively Teach about the Holocaust”

Liz gives the participants teaching models and ideas for furthering student exploration and responses when teaching about the Holocaust. This approach is based on the experience of the individual - using a medium that appeals not just to the intellect, but also penetrates straight to the heart.  Art can broaden our student’s empathy and understanding of the Holocaust, while inspiring them to create their own artistic response to what they are learning and experiencing.
