It is the time of year when nominations take place for Area Council Officers and Awards. Running for office takes a strong commitment to CAEA and an understanding of its purpose to further the role of art as essential in the social environment, to define and support art educators, and to promote the advancement and improvement of art education in the state. It is essential to the smooth running of the Area Councils and the State Council that those people wishing to run for office, be members in good standing and shall have held active positions in the Area organization in order to better understand what the job entails. This is all set forth in our Constitution.

CAEA wants to give awards. They are tangible evidence of professionalism, dedication, and active engagement in area activities such as working on the conference committee, clay days, smart days, meet-and-greets, and meetings. At this time, Southern Area is already seeking a Conference Chair for the 2007 Conference. It is never too early to get involved.

Since this is a new term of office I would like to share some of the directions towards which we will be heading. This may help guide your area meetings and allow you an active voice in the workings of our organization.

We have received some very exciting news! Our first partnership has been formed with Idyllwild Arts. For information about the arts camp see our President Elect’s article. The partnership does not end with scholarships for students. It extends to include us, the members of CAEA. To quote the letter from Steven Fraider, Director of the Summer Program, “Idyllwild Arts Summer Program will extend a 10% discount on tuition only to all CAEA members, for any adult programs offered during the 2006 summer program.” This is our first membership benefit partner. See ad on page 30 for adult clay workshops. Contact the school for a complete catalog.

Speaking of membership benefits—all those members who stay active understand the benefits of professional support and networking. But for some, more tangible rewards are necessary. Toward that goal, we are looking for possible partners who could offer member benefits. If you

President’sMessage

New Directions;Always An AdventureBy Penelope [email protected]

know of a possible source, please email the pertinent information to me so an inquiry letter can be sent out.

Our Constitution is being updated to reflect changes since 1998. This process is being directed by Past President Cris Guenter with the help of Awards Chair Susan Wuerer. Inquiries may be directed to them. When the new version is finished, you will have access to copies.

California universities offering art education training will be receiving letters of invitation to form student chapters. This is an excellent way to gain new members and involve younger teachers in CAEA. Fresh ideas make the organization stronger and more viable in this changing world. Please direct any inquiries to me.

Also high on our list is advocacy and fund raising. Donna Banning, Historian/Advocacy/Active Retired (HAAR) Chair will be working on advocacy so look for more information in future issues of the newsletter.

Kathy Rogers, President Elect, is investigating new avenues of fund raising which could help alleviate shortfalls in the future. That is the purpose of the still-to-be-published cookbook (see page 5). Northern Area is planning a pot-luck meeting where members bring their recipes for all to sample and then write and illustrate it for the cookbook. If you haven’t yet submitted a recipe, remember every submitter will be eligible for a drawing for a free cookbook. As you can see, ideas are simmering. Your State Council invites comments, ideas, and participation through your area chapters.

Neosk Miller, our Executive Secretary, shared the following information to help you extend your educational resources. The Los Angeles County Museum of Art has 330 high resolution images of American works of art from their collections which can be viewed free of charge on their website (http://collectionsonline.lacma.org/). The pieces range from the 18th century to the present and include California art, American Expressionism, and Overbeck Pottery as well as quilts, watercolors, and furniture. Descriptions are included. The images can be downloaded, printed, emailed, or compared and contrasted with one another using the site’s “Image Viewer.” New images and information will continue to be added.

At this writing, several of us are planning attendance at the NAEA Convention in Chicago this March. Donna Banning will be winding up her term as NAEA Pacific Region Vice President. Kathy Rogers and I will be attending as delegates to work at Delegates Assembly on national NAEA policies. And, we have three award winners attending from California—which is a first.

Nancy Andrzejczak will be accepting the Pacific Region Outstanding Art Educator Award. Nancy Carr will be accepting the Pacific Region Outstanding Supervisor/Administrative Award. Lori Love will be accepting the Pacific Region Outstanding Middle School Educator Award. Many congratulations to all three of you. This is an outstanding achievement.

So we are off to a very full start with many ideas on which to work. You are all encouraged to participate in any way you can by becoming active in your local areas. Don’t hesitate to share your thoughts with any of us. The strength of our organization lies with you, the membership.

CAEA and Idyllwild ArtsSummer Program Join Forces

Since 1950, the Idyllwild Arts Summer program has created a unique learning environment for children, youth and adults through intensive, individual exploration of the arts. This extraordinary school continues to offer rare opportunities for creative self-discovery in the arts. Every summer, more than 1,700 children, teens, and adults attend workshops under the pines, pursuing interests in visual arts, creative writing, dance, music, and theatre — taught by some of America’s finest artists.

Nestled at the mile-high level in the San Jacinto Mountains and surrounded by 20,000 acres of protected woodland, the 205-acre Idyllwild Arts campus is located in one of the most spectacular natural settings in the western United States. Idyllwild is approximately 110 miles southeast of Los Angeles and northeast of San Diego. The mission of the Idyllwild Arts Summer Program is to provide for students of all ages and abilities the opportunity to benefit from arts instruction of the highest caliber. Students enrolled in the Idyllwild Arts Summer Program receive intensive, hands-on arts experience in a competition-free environment that emphasizes individual growth. Students enroll in one course per session that becomes the primary focus of their participation in the Summer Program.

CAEA has joined with The Idyllwild Arts Foundation to provide an opportunity for one student from each of the three areas in California to experience this unique summer art program. As a current CAEA member, you may nominate as many students as you wish by copying and completing the form on page 12. The regular cost of the camp is $2200 for 2 weeks. The cost includes the art course taken as well as room and board. For this year, each Area will be providing $900 of the cost, the Idyllwild Arts Foundation will match with $1100, and the student’s family will need to make a commitment to pay the final $200.

Nomination forms for the scholarship are available on page 12 of this newsletter. The CAEA State Board is quite excited that this endeavor will be a success and we look forward to an experience of a lifetime for three lucky students. We sincerely hope that you will take part and nominate at least one deserving student. Winners will be notified by May 1, 2006.

Welcome to March,the Month of Arts Promotion!

Youth Art Month has been the topic of art educators throughout the Northern Area. As of this publication, we will all be witnessing the fruits of our labor. We have also had another Art Smart Day in Santa Cruz and are anticipating the next ones in San Francisco’s China Town and with Brenda Louie in Sacramento. I also wish to address, why we teach art and the origins of Youth Art Month in this issue.

We will have been treated to a wonderful lesson, inspired by our former Keynote Speaker, Debra Butterfield, from Kathleen Crocetti, artist/art educator from Santa Cruz, by the time you read this. Then we will have proceeded to the beach to build sculptures from found objects and wood. I know, viewing into the future, we will have had a wonderful experience! Thank you, Gini Gyorkos, Treasurer, Northern Area CAEA, for organizing this fine event. Thank you, Kathleen Crocetti. You are a master! Our next Art Smart Day will be held in San Francisco for a China Town Tour. Mark your calendars, now for April 8, 2006.

Cal Poly Faculty, Students to Bring Arts Education to Santa Maria Housing Project

SAN LUIS OBISPO -- The Central Coast Center for Arts Education (CCCAE) at Cal Poly recently received a grant from the Orfalea Fund to support an after-school art education program for children living in a Santa Maria housing project

During the year-long Education Enhancement Program, the CCCAE will place professional artists in all disciplines in two-week rotations at the Peoples’ Self-Help Housing’s (PSHH) Los Adobes de Maria II affordable rental apartments.

“Research shows that the arts are essential in supporting and developing academic achievement, especially for students considered at risk,” said Susan Duffy, CCCAE director and chair of Cal Poly’s Liberal Studies Department. “Completed CCCAE projects in area schools have shown that school attendance improves and students are able to make cultural, mathematical and scientific connections in meaningful, interesting, and sophisticated ways when the arts are viewed as important in elementary classrooms. We appreciate the Orfalea Fund support and Peoples’ Self-Help Housing’s willingness to work with us on this project,” Duffy said.

Cal Poly liberal studies and modern languages students who are working toward a bi-lingual teaching credential will serve as interns, assisting the artists and helping with program development. Cal Poly liberal studies faculty will help deliver the lessons to the K-8 students attending the after-school program.

The Orfalea Fund supports organizations and projects that “enhance young people’s lives by contributing to projects that promote academic excellence and innovative educational opportunities; improve and enrich education and services through community programs; encourage family values and bring together generations; and provide opportunities to those less privileged and those facing learning challenges.”

“This important collaboration with Cal Poly, made possible by the generosity of the Orfalea Fund, brings our Education Enhancement Program to the next level,” said Jeanette Duncan, executive director of Peoples’ Self-Help Housing. “With the formal addition of art education at Peoples’ Self-Help Housing’s Los Adobes de Maria II, approximately 80 students in grades K-8 will have access to top-notch art education and dedicated future bilingual teachers. We strongly believe that art is a fundamental component of learning, and education is deficient without it.”

The program will run from February through December. The project will also include three “family nights” at the site, where parents and students can participate in professional arts events.

For more information about this program, contact Susan Duffy at: [email protected]


The Southern Area Youth Art Month Show will be at the Corona Heritage House from April 1-8. The submission deadline is March 31. The reception will be on held on Saturday April 8th from 11:00-2:00. Adding to the experience will be artisans demonstrating their skills. Lori Love is the area chair (951-736-3216). County chairs need to contact Lori to work out transferring the award winners to her.

Most of the area YAM shows have already taken place but Riverside and San Bernardino County members may still have time to submit their students’ work.

Riverside CountyCorona Heritage House will also be the site of the Riverside County Show. The submission deadline is March 17th. The show will be from March 18-25. Lori Love can be contacted at 951-736-3216

San Bernadino CountyTeresa Cotner ([email protected]) is the chair. The reception will be held on March 18th from 2:00-4:00 at Redlands East Valley High School.

Thanks to Susan Wuerer for putting together and sending out our first Southern Area Newsletter. Plans are to send a newsletter out three times a year. You can send information about your area to her at [email protected]

Two of our Southern Area members will be receiving awards at the NAEA conference in Chicago. Nancy Andrzejczak will receive the Pacific Region Art Educator of the Year Award and Lori Love will receive the Pacific Region’s Middle School Visual Art Educator. Congratulations to both of them on their awards and for all their hard work and efforts to promote art education!

Students age 7-15 can attend Art Camp at Camp Arbolada in Big Bear, July 22-29 (see page 13). Call 909-794-6724 or contact Patrice Yocum for details: 626-355-9196, or [email protected] Southern Area will host the 2007 conference in Pasadena. Art on Parade has been discussed as a possible theme. Contact me to let me know how you will help with conference planning. I have heard from some members already and meeting dates will be in the next newsletter and Painted Monkey.

The next meeting will be on April 8th at 10:00 at the Corona Heritage House.

Remembering Dr. Paul Kravagna The Higher Education AwardsBy Carol Lockwood, Scholarship [email protected]

By creating the Paul Kravagna Higher Education Scholarship, Dr. Kravagna’s foresight and generosity will benefit three college graduate students in Art Education.

This year, BERTHA CARDOZA, cadet teacher of Penelope Venola, attends Cal State Long Beach. She writes:

“My goal as an art teacher is to create a curriculum that not only meets the State Standards, but which also meets the individual needs of my students. In the art world, students can learn about different cultures, and open their eyes to the diverse world in which they live. By learning about different cultures, students can be more tolerant and understanding of other cultures, which can expand their knowledge.”

LORI FRIEDLANDER attends Cal State Northridge under Dr. Ken Sakatani’s guidance. Lori believes that:

“Art is an important element in the schools and in the community. It helps to bring together literacy, knowledge and technical skills to create innovative work. Art can be a facilitator in keeping students interested in school and allow them to have a voice. Using student’s personal knowledge to create artwork can allow the students to communicate about their own experiences with the community.”

CRYSTAL KARR also attends Cal State Northridge where Paul Kravagna taught for 27 years. In part, she states that:

“I believe that art is an essential subject to include in the curriculum because art promotes intellectual, emotional, social, and aesthetic development. Art promotes intellectual development by enhancing critical thinking skills. These skills are fortified when students analyze how style and media choices affect an artwork, derive meaning and make informed judgments about art, make decisions based on their own principles/identity, and critique art.”

Three $500 awards are being presented to these future teachers for their commitment to art education, carrying on Dr. Kravagna’s legacy and bringing the total awards given from this fund to $11,000.

We thank you, Paul.

Dr. Paul Kravagna, 1939-2005.

The Governor is talking of including money in the state budget for after school programs (Prop 49 and over $200M in monies) and during the school day, standards-based sequential instruction (Prop 98 and $100M in monies). Please watch the updates on these monies through the California Alliance for Arts Education website at www.artsed411.org. The budget proposal is online there, the current discussion revolving around those monies, the trailer bills that may be attached to those monies that will provide guidelines or designations for use of the monies. CAAE is the point person for information on the funding. At this time we know the $100M is for grades 1-8 and for standards-based instruction during the school day. The monies are target for those grades for the first several years and would then move to be inclusive of high school courses in the later years. This funding is not seen as just one-year funding. The minimum of $3,000 is being discussed for the smaller school districts, as is an average of $20 per pupil for other districts, but there is talk of a cap on how much a school district could receive, known at this time. Please watch the CAAE website for day-to-day informational updates.

Textbook adoption process begins in April, with the trainings for the CPM and IMAP folks. The panels will look at the texts and meet the end of July-first of August for deliberations and determinations. At this time the publishers have submitted intentions to submit with 5 offerings in the visual arts. We will know, in April which ones will actually submit.

CBEDS course codes and their descriptions are being finalized. If you haven’t yet had a change to look at the course descriptions, under visual arts, that you instruct, now is the time to go to the CBEDS site and do so. Please let Nancy know, right away, if you have suggestions for new courses or addtions to the wording for current course descriptions. Be sure that all the courses you instruct are covered by by those course descriptions so you don’t need to check “Other” on the CBEDS visual arts courses come next October.

Art Work in the CDE BuildingThe next forty frames are being matted, ready for hanging in the CDE halls and reception rooms. We can use more photographs of ceramics, sculpture; theatre, dance, and music performances with their playbills; along with drawings and paintings, animation, car design, graphic arts. Please see the template offered previously or request it from Nancy...for the guidelines and what to submit with the art work. We need to have this phase of submissions in by the end of April. Thank you everyone!

Arts Mastery Test for grade eight are coming to completion. We will have the tests reviewed and then seek eighth grade teachers instructing in the visual arts to pilot during the 2006-7 or 2007-8 school year (depending upon completion of our work. If you are instructing in one of the four arts disciplines and would be interesting in piloting this eighth grade test, please let Nancy know.

Have you needs or question you would find, if answered, would help you advocate for your course(s) of instruction? Please let your CDE Consultant (Nancy Carr) know.

March Is Youth Art MonthBy Marilyn [email protected]

There are many wonderful art exhibits in progress right now in celebration of Youth Art Month. These exhibits not only showcase our students’ efforts, they promote art education. For all the extra effort it took to put on a show, my thanks.

A quick plea – send me a report of your show, please! Last year, 21 reports were sent in, representing only ten of our fifty-eight counties. I know there is much more being done than being reported, and I want our entire state represented. You can find the report form on the CAEA web site: (www.caea-arteducation.org.). Youth Art Month information can be found by clicking on PROGRAMS, and then scrolling to the far right. You may also e-mail me, or your area YAM chair. We can forward the report form to you as a word document. Type directly onto the form, print it, add a few pages of color copies of your invitations, reception photos, newspaper clippings, and anything else that would help to show what you have done in observance of YAM. Mail it either to me directly, or to your area YAM chair, and she/he will get it to me. I suggest changing the font and/or size, and perhaps putting your answers in bold so they are easily distinguished from the form questions. The Start Kit found at our web site goes into more detail, and should be of further help to you.

The deadline for postmarking reports is May 1st this year. This will help you get it done while the show is still fresh in your mind, and it will allow me to get started on my state report before summer begins. If the deadline is impossible to meet, contact your area chair and me. We will work with you.

Why Promote Art Education and What Is Youth Art Month?

Why Promote Art Education?

Art education develops self-esteem, appreciation of the work of others, self-expression, cooperation with others, and critical thinking skills; skills vital to the success of our future leaders – our children.

In “The Nation and the Arts,” a Presidential briefing paper prepared by the Independent Committee on Arts Policy, it was stated:

“Well-developed programs of making and studying art serve many functions. They help students better articulate their perceptions and shape coherent responses to their experiences. When children learn to appreciate form and color... when they learn the importance of fashioning their own images of the world around them, they achieve greater discipline and self- confidence. Further, the arts have extrinsic public value as they are increasingly important to this nation’s economy.”

What is Youth Art Month?

Youth Art Month is an annual observance each March to emphasize the value of art education for all children and to encourage support for quality school art programs. Youth Art Month was created in 1961 by ACMI, a non-profit association of art and craft materials manufacturers, in cooperation with the NAEA. In 1984, ACMI created the Council for Art Education (CFAE) to administer the national Youth Art Month program and encourage funding for the program. Current members of the Council include: ACMI, which provides all administrative support and the majority of funding for national Youth Art Month; NAEA, whose members carry out local Youth Art Month activities and whose state affiliates help fund state Youth Art Month programs; The SHIP, a group of art materials exhibitors at the annual NAEA Convention; and the General Federation of Women’s Clubs, a volunteer women’s organization dedicated to community improvement through volunteer service. Other involved organizations include the

Association of Crafts & Creative Industries, Hobby Industries Association, and National Art Materials Trade Association.

Traditionally, CFAE promotes Youth Art Month and art education to the public. Information on Youth Art Month has appeared in a wide variety of publications, including the U.S. Department of Education’s Goals 2000 Community Update, PTA Today, and Profitable Craft Merchandising. CFAE fills hundreds of information requests each year, and it distributes thousands of informational booklets at educational and other conferences.

The above information was extracted from the CFAE site. The California Department of Education (CDE), California Art Education Association (CAEA), National Art Education Association (NAEA), California Alliance for Arts Education (CAAE) and the performing arts organizations support and promote Youth Arts Month in March.

Please take some time to e-mail or send your Youth Art Month events to to your Area YAM Chair. Area Chairs compile Area reports which then go to Marilyn Martin, YAM State Chair, who will compile a state report that will be submitted to the National Art Education Association.

Events may be or have been small or larger in scale; they may be visual art shows and displays or presentations in one classroom, a school, district, county or regional. Board members, administration, legislators may be invited to your classroom for a day, to observe art in action. Maybe you presented to your school or county board? Whatever you have originated should be shared!

Our strength in the Arts comes from within us, the art educators. Promotion of our students, ourselves, and our art programs is essential for our survival!

It is the purpose of ART CAMP to give each art student a special enhancement of the arts and its materials: something beyond the usual public school program. An example lesson might include using “real” watercolor papers! Please provide short but “sweet” lesson plans for three sessions. Give one 3-D lesson and two lessons for 2-dimensional media. Keep in mind the time frame of 1 1/2 hours for each lesson, the age of students, the environment of camp and nature, and your total budget of $100 per teacher. This year’s camp focuses on the art of the Americas so lessons should focus on traditional inspiration from cultures from North/Central/or South America/ Lessons should also address California Visual and Performing Arts Standards. Connections to drama, dance, or music add an enriching element to camp experience.

Why Get The VIA Pass?(VIA = Very Important Artist)

By Craig Tomlinson, Conference [email protected]

Ever been to Disneyland with FastPass? Go ahead of the line! Save time! For Fresno 2006 it will be priority sign-ups for Master Classes, front row seat area for keynote speakers, and getting in front of the line for many events. And it’s FREE! Just register early with a $50 deposit by June 10th for the Fresno 2006 Conference and receive the VIA Pass. The full registration must be paid by September 10th.

So, why the VIA Pass? For the past four or five conferences, most of the registrations have come in after October 1st. This makes it very difficult for the conference committee to plan ahead for correct facilities so they are not overcrowded, correct transportation needs, and a better forecast for food events, which include the menu items and decorations that need to be made! Hopefully, the VIA Pass will catch on and will help every conference committee to make better decisions which in turn will benefit every attendee for better planned conferences. The committee is asking everyone to register early for Fresno 2006 – ART GROWS: Planting New Seeds. Do it by June 10th and get a VIA Pass FREE!

Fresno 2006 has James Christensen, a world known fantasy artist, coming as our Saturday keynote speaker on October 28th. You will not want to be seated in the “far back” to see and hear this fantastic visual artist. By registering early and getting the VIA Pass, you will have a front row area seat saved for you! Also, Christensen is scheduled to sign autographs and books at the area receptions. Be first in line with the VIA Pass!

Check out the Master Classes in the schedule so far (see page 22). Barrie Burnham, Master Class Chair, has some great artists set up and with the VIA Pass, you will get first choice! Don’t be left out because the Master Class you wanted is full. The earlier you register the lower the VIA Pass priority number; thus, the better chance of getting all the master classes you want.

If you are a regular conference attendee, you know the food goes quickly at the Vendors’ Opening Continental Breakfast on Friday morning. With the VIA Pass, you will get in 15 minutes earlier than regular attendees!

Avoid the hassles, get first choices for Master Classes, and remember, the VIA Pass is FREE! Tell a friend because both of you will want a VIA Pass! But you MUST register early for Fresno 2006. The deadline is June 10th with the full registration paid in full by September 10th. See you in Fresno on October 26-29th with your VIA Pass!

Come meet this remarkable person. Send in your registration today! Keynote address scheduled for Saturday of the conference. He will be available for book and print signings afterwards.

James C. Christensen was born in 1942 and raised in Culver City, California. He studied painting at Brigham Young University as well as the University of California at Los Angeles before finishing his formal education at BYU. Since then he has had one-man shows in the West and the Northeast and his work is prized in collections throughout the United States and Europe.

Opulent, colorful, Shakespearean, extraordinary: All words that aptly portray Christensen’s most popular artworks that have also been described as “creations from the land a little left of reality.” He has created a Shakespearean Island, an entire undersea world and a village of Mother Goose characters. But when he isn’t giving life to other’s worlds, he paints a place of his own. The result is a unique kinetic kingdom where recognizable human emotions are often manifested as fish or fowl, utilizing the viewer’s own imagination as no other artist can. His art includes unique people, places and things that exist somewhere between adult dreams and childhood memories.

“I don’t think of myself as a fantasy artist,” said Christensen. “I certainly have an affinity for myths, fables and ancient lore, but I also find time to create landscapes and other subjects which include commissions. Recent projects, for example, include a mural commission for a conference center in Nauvoo, Illinois, a poster for the 2001 Utah Shakespearean Festival and

a sculpture for Nu-Skin. “What’s truly important to me is that my art is introspective and in turn challenges the mind’s eye of those who view it regardless of the subject matter.”

The artist has been commissioned by both Time/Life Books and Omni to create illustrations for their publications and his work has appeared in the prestigious American Illustration Annual and Japan’s Outstanding American Illustrators. His first book, A Journey of the Imagination: The Art of James Christensen, was published to great acclaim in 1994. His second, the adventure fantasy, Voyage of the Basset, has more than 75,000 copies in print. His subsequent books include the inventive Rhymes & Reasons, published in May 1997, Parables (written by Robert Millet, 1999), The Personal Illumination Series and The Personal Illumination Journal (2000), a series of interactive journals, A Shakespeare Sketchbook (2001) and James Christensen, Foremost Fantasy Artist (2001).

Christensen was recently designated as a “Utah Art Treasure,” one of Utah’s Top 100 Artists by the Springville Museum of Art and received the Governor’s Award for Art awarded by the Utah Arts Council recognizing the significance of Christensen’s artwork to Utah’s cultural communities. He was inducted into the U.S. Art magazine’s Hall of Fame. Jim and his wife, Carole, co-chair the Mormon Arts Foundation.

Tempera Batik PaintingJulie Dunn

Julie Dunn presents an unusual and refreshing style of painting known as Tempera Batik painting on paper. Her work is characterized by the vibrant use of color and an appealing textural surface, beautifully combined with compelling imagery. Julie’s subjects include endangered species, exotic florals, and Central Coast landscapes. Participants will be shown all the aspects of this exciting technique accompanied by handouts outlining the process.

Class Size: Limit 20

Coil Weaving On GourdsSam McKinney

Pine needle weaving as function and art has been practiced by native cultures for centuries. Artist, Sam McKinney tends to give her gourds a southwestern or Native American look because it lends itself to the natural beauty of the gourd. Sam will demonstrate the decorative techniques she uses to transform this nonedible relative of the cucumber, melon, squash and pumpkin into fine art. Hands-on participants will be working with individual gourds and weaving materials to make a one of a kind sculptural gourd.

$15 Materials fee payable to the instructorClass Size: Limit 15

Clay serves as an inviting blank canvas for the energetic texturing that Amy Morgan uses to cover her ceramic work in her exciting “more is better” style. An array of inspiring, glazed pottery and sculpture will be available to touch and start the class’ creative juices flowing. Participants will learn to make sprig molds to create dramatic narrative imagery. Amy will have special tools and hand-thrown leather-hard pottery for participants to practice their version of the carving techniques demonstrated. After receiving her MFA from San Diego State University, Amy taught high school and adult education before teaching at Fresno City College. Amy exhibits locally and regionally in galleries.


Airbrushing OriginalDesigns On ClayMary Camin

Mary will work with underglazes and an airbursh to go through techniques she has incorporated into her earthenware production line of decorative plates and bowls. She will talk about the required equipment to get started and briefly cover maintenance, air pressure, and pigments. Exercises with inks will show participants how the airbrush works. Mary will then demonstrate how to apply underglaze design to plates an bowls from an initial drawing to the final finished artwork. Steps include transferring the drawing to paper, cutting stencils, working with the stencils and underglazes and using the airbrush in combination with the painted design.

Class Size: Limit 15

Butterfield Horses and Aborigine RainsticksBarrie Burnham

Barrie has been working in clay since 1974 when she was throwing on the wheel in a very traditional manner under the direction of Leon Moburg at the University of Redlands. Teaching students has expanded her direction in clay. In this presentation she will show how to build a rainstick and a horse. The horse has been an inspiration for a variety of animals over the past few years. The rainstick expands on her interest in Aborigine art. You will be able to make both of these pieces during this class. The rainstick is a tube-like surface for decoration. The horse is a starting place for many different animal forms.
