Bowker Biography:
Karen Clark

 

Writer/teacher/artist Karin Clark has had over 20 years experience working with children and adults. Most of this time has been spent learning and teaching with British Columbia's First Nations in public and private schools, colleges, art classes, aboriginal/social studies courses, and university teacher education programs.
In her first book, Learning by Doing Northwest Coast Native Indian Art, co-authored with Jim Gilbert, she used her experiences and training in special and cultural education to produce an easy-to-follow, beginner's skill development curriculum. Karin spends her work time evaluating teaching/learning strategies and materials; creating curriculum material, writing story books and readers; using frameworks to create First Nations language programs; creating material and workshops to: enhance thinking skills, self-esteem and motivation, create Native Indian art, learn and teach; and designing flyers and brochures. Currently she is instructing at North Island College (Vancouver Island) in Adult Basic Education and Adult Special Education.
In writing Learning by Designing Pacific Northwest Coast Native Indian Art with Jim, she has been able to use all her skills and experience to create a useful resource for artists, students, teachers, and collectors designed to foster respect for First Nations culture through art. In addition to the above books, Karin has written 22 other books and curriculums about First Nations culture, traditional and contemporary.
