Carol,
I friend forwarded an email (sent to her as a teacher in our synagogue Torah School) about your suggestions for using Jewish Artists and their Art in curriculum. Yasher Koach!
I am especially interested in this topic as a former art teacher/museum educator, and Ph.D. in Visual Arts Education with a focus in Jewish Art. Unfortunately, I was unable to open some of the files, but would like to dialogue with you further about this concept. I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks.
Best,
Myrna Teck
