Project for School Innovation (PSI) will celebrate the publication of Portraying Identity Through Art – the fourth book in our ‘Wisdom of Educators" series – with a book launch & Art Exhibit on Monday, October 15 from 4:30 to 6:00 PM at The Harbor School, located at 11 Charles Street in Dorchester. 

Portraying Identity Through Art is a source book developed by real classroom teachers featuring case studies from their experience, accompanied by practical, proven strategies for middle-grade visual arts instruction. In 2005-2006, five middle school visual arts teachers from Boston area public schools participated in PSI’s Support Network for Innovative Classrooms.  The teachers met monthly to collaboratively review, research, and apply new methods of teaching students to express their identity through art.  This book illuminates those methods, and illustrates how art can enhance students’ overall academic learning and knowledge of themselves.
