Flag Bookmaking at the Silverlake Independent JCC

February 20, 2023 By Debra Disman

It was a pleasure to teach a hands-on FLAG BOOKmaking workshop for fifth-graders at the Silverlake Independent JCC, my fifth year doing so! (Or is it my 6th?!)
The fifth-graders were receptive, energetic and creative!

The Art of Ethics: Bookmaking at the Silverlake Independent JCC

October 22, 2021 By Debra Disman

 

I had the opportunity to teach the  FLAG BOOK structure to fifth-graders at the  Silverlake Independent Jewish Community Center  in their
The Art of Ethics class focusing on Shalom Bayit – Peace in the Home.

This was my first IN PERSON teaching artist experience in over a year and a half!

It was wonderful….

Here are some of the results, as well as the process…


Developing content


“The Future” is a theme


No Rules (!)


Designing the book


Looking to the future, celebrating the now


Highly engaged


A positive approach


Innovation


Cover Design


Completing the structure


The wonderful teacher, Marnina.

Bookmaking Workshop at the Silverlake Independent JCC

January 21, 2019 By Debra Disman

Flag Bookmaking Workshop held for 5th graders on the theme of Shalom Bayit – Peace of the Home, as part of The Art of Ethics theme at the Silverlake Independent JCC.

While traditionally described as matrimonial harmony, we’re expanding the theme of Shalom Bayit to include sibling harmony and all those in our homes.

This workshop is for those children enrolled in the weekly Sunday class, and is  part of the SLIJCC Visiting Educator Artist program.
