TAEA’s 2011 Best of Show Billboards

The Tennessee Art Education Association and the three regional museums that host the student art exhibitions have had another terrific year. The members of our organization should feel very proud of the work that they have done to encourage our young artists. TAEA worked in concert with over 10 art colleges to award several scholarships to deserving HS seniors and our regional museums have again given the students an opportunity to exhibit their artwork in a professional setting.

I would like to personally thank our committee chairs: Rozz Martin, Amanda Dillingham and Jason Driskill, and Bill Hickerson for all the time they have put in to ensure that each exhibition was presented in a professional manner. We would also like to thank the volunteers and the jurors for contributing to the success of the regional exhibits. In this article you will see the three billboards that were placed in Knoxville, Nashville, and Humboldt emphasizing the importance of supporting the arts in our children’s education. I join with all TAEA members in advocating the importance of visual art in the core curriculum for all our students and I hope that the regional exhibitions bring home that idea.

Thank you again for another banner year and look forward to the “Best of the Best Student Art Exhibition” and the inaugural “TAEA Art Educators Exhibition – Connections” this summer at the Tennessee Arts Academy.

President’s MessageAcross our cities, state, and nation, budgets are being cut. The impact reaches all economic levels and all areas of our communities. It is challenging to keep positive and motivated

when feeling under constant pressure from so many sources. TAEA and NAEA provide resources and colleagues across the state and country that keep me revitalized. I see the power in numbers and realize that many voices are speaking out in support of the arts.

Flowerree Galetovic and I will be speaking out at the state level when we participate in the Tennesseans for the Arts Advocacy Day on April 8. We will represent you as we speak with legislators and let them know the important work you are doing for our children and our communities. Other arts organizations across the state will be there too. We are not alone.

It’s also nice to realize that support comes at random times. I do not know Judith Walter of Franklin, Tennessee, personally, but I found her words inspirational, refreshing and affirming. Ms. Walter shared her Mature Lifestyles article with me re-cently. She reflected on her recent art experiences and her years in the schools:

“As a counselor, I often teamed up with artists and musicians to help people express themselves when words failed them or when they had been choosing inap-propriate ways to express themselves. More than once learning to express negative emotions through the arts became the skill that made the most difference in their recovery and well-being.

The idea that the arts are unimportant or irrel-evant or not a priority is very disturbing. The arts are a healing force and a connecting link in an often fractured world. The arts in all forms are, in my view, as essential as clean air and renewable energy and civil political dis-course. The arts calm our emotional turmoil, renew our spirits, and provide respite from the uncivil words and behaviors that are a part of our lives. Could anything be more relevant or important?”

It’s good to know there are individuals who speak out for what the arts can do for society.

East Region Conference Report

The 2011 East Tennessee Conference was held on

February 12 at Hardin Valley High School in Knoxville, Tennessee. Named Wintry Delight, the participants had a delightful time working with Don-na Anderson and Suzanne Jack, both of whom teach at the academy. Professional development consisted of classes in printmaking and portraiture.

The Portraiture Workshop began with the par-ticipants toning canvases with a middle range tone that increases highlights and shadows. Suzanne briefly discussed specifics of brushes and oil colors. Next, further instructions included video before taking and modifying digital images. Using a strong light source, the participants took turns photographing each other and making lighting adjustments. Sketching began using light neutrals to define key areas. This was a very successful workshop, many painting skills were honed and everyone felt a sense of personal satisfaction that their portraits were recognizable.

The Printmaking Workshop began with Donna presenting images exemplifying the techniques to be attempted during the day. Three different printing experiences were chosen: intaglio, sten-ciling, and planographic. After sketching, creation began of a linocut. An explanation of linocut was given that this printmaking technique while similar to that of the woodcut differs in that linoleum offers an easier surface for working a design. Linocuts offer more precision and a greater variety of effects than woodcuts. Long disparaged by serious artists as not challenging enough, the linocut came into its own after artists like Picasso and Matisse began working with the technique. The students’ results were impressive. The planographic project was a monotype, a one-off technique where a flat surface is painted with oil colors or ink and then passed through the etching press.

A special thank-you goes out to the fine instructors, Donna and Suzanne, both members of TAEA. Their level of knowledge is masterful and the time and effort involved in preparation was evident. In closing, the conference was very successful and those who participated were well rewarded and all expressed that they came with needs for skill de-velopment and instructional ideas. Everyone expressed how grateful each was for this time of professional development.

West Region Conference Report

The West Tennessee Art Education Association

annual one-day conference was at the Memphis Brooks Museum of Art on Sat-urday, April 9, and the theme was Creativity and Self-Expression. Participants started the morning with a discussion about a selection of artwork from the Brooks Museum’s collection led by Curator of Education, Karleen Gardner. Works by Willie Cole, William Christenberry, Chakia Booker, Red Grooms, and Andre Serrano were chosen to reflect the unique ways that artists have used creativity and self-expression in their art.

Following the morning’s discussion, the teachers split into two groups and headed into the museum’s galleries to complete two activities. In the first, teachers heard about how contemporary artist Willie Cole found an everyday iron in the middle of the street, an object that lead to an important theme in the artist’s work. Par-ticipants were asked to brainstorm some of the ways that the iron might have got-ten to the middle of the street, and then make a sketch of that unusual scenario. In the second gallery activity, teachers were given song lyrics that went along with a work of art at the museum. In small groups, they had to work together to create a song from the lyrics, and then perform it as a group.

Lunch was enjoyed on the terrace at the Brushmark Restaurant overlooking Overton Park. And after lunch, teachers split back into their groups for two afternoon art-making workshops. Shelby County art teacher Me-linda Traylor taught participants how to make Wycinanki (Polish Paper-cutting). And Lynnette Gilbert, another Shelby County at teacher, lead a workshop on collagraphy. The teachers made fantastic works of art and enjoyed their time at the Brooks.

Many thanks to Jennifer Harants, Jenny Hornby, Karleen Gardner, and the workshop presenters for helping make it a great day.

Elementary Report

The NAEA conference in Seattle was so energizing for me that I had to include a few great resources that are sure to provide refreshing ideas for your classroom. Frst, check out Organized Chaos! Logistics in the Art Room (www.leannepoindexter.blogspot.com ). Leanne’s blog talks about everything from the “Whisper Wand” to help keep noise levels at a reasonable decibel, practical printmaking tips, drying rack collections system that eliminate sorting and…where did that supply list go? She even has a tip for that! For great new digital community, check out Art Education 2.0 (www.arted20.ning.com). There are lots of great conversations and opportunities to share and swap ideas about the craft of teaching art as well as links to blogs and videos that are amazing. And for more great lesson ideas and to refresh your enthusiasm, check out TN’s own, Art with Mr. E (www.artwithmre.blogspot.com )Ted has a great community of educators ready to swap info and ideas in a digital minute! Don’t get stale; breathe some life into your program this spring with these great spots and many more.

Curriculum Standards: The revised curriculum standards for visual art are now finalized, approved by the state board

of education, and posted on the state education website. They are in effect for this fall. There are additional Checks for Understanding for K-5 on the Electronic Learning Center. On the education website, scroll down until you see Electronic Learning Center (ELC). Click on it and then go to Curriculum Resources. Under Fine Arts, you will find this additional resource beneath the FAQ section.

New national standards will be coming in the next several years. They are just now beginning and NAEA is part of this process.

Textbook Adoption: The state team of teachers to review the materials bid for visual art will begin work in June. At the end of July, they will reconvene and come to consensus on the reviews of all of these materials. Publishers will have an opportunity to respond in September and the textbook commission will present the final list to the state board for approval in October. In January or February school systems will have an opportunity to review these materials and the reviews of the state review panel before making their own adoption decisions from the list. Be sure that you review these as well so that you can make your wishes known. Whatever is chosen is what you will be using for the next six years. So it is an important decision.

Praxis Exams: The praxis exam for visual art has been revised and the new one will be in place in the fall. The cut score will be determined at the April meeting of the state board of education. Instead of two exams, there will now be only one.

Evaluation: The TAEA e-news has carried information about the development of the evaluation of student achievement piece that will also be part of teacher evaluation. The fine arts team has made a lot of progress and has a plan that we believe will work effectively in all the varying circumstances under which we teach and still measure achievement of the standards. This is a work in progress and probably will be for the next year. So this first year may not be what you would like to see, but in order to get there, we may have to go through one year with a less than desirable system. You already know what your students can and cannot do and what progress they have made. This will be a means of documenting this for the students to see, for informing parents and school officials, and for assisting instruction. It should also bring an awareness of the importance visual art education has in the lives of our students.

Thank you: Most of all, thank you for all the work you do every day with your students; for the spark you see and build on; for putting your students first in spite of all the paperwork and other issues you are faced with in our changing world of education. You do make a difference in the lives of your students. By now, many of you know that I am retiring. After 44 years in education and over 17 of those years at the state department of education, it is time for me to move on. My only regret as I leave is that the position of director of arts education will not be filled. So I do not know who will be taking your calls and e-mails. You have been wonderful to work with, and I’ve learned to depend on you to help me get the job done at the department. At the same time, I hope I have been able to keep you informed so that you can stay on top of events in education in this state. I shall miss all of you.

TAEA membership Report

Our membership is holding steady at 360-380 over the past few months. In February the National Art Education Association sent out a report on the membership potential based on art educators in each state and it is clear that we could be doing better. Their sta-tistics showed that there are 1704 eligible people in Tennessee if everyone joined. Some strategies have been discussed at the TAEA board-level for increas-ing our membership, but when it comes down to it, it’s you as a current member who has the greatest potential to help us grow by asking non-members in your school district and area to join. Just direct them to the National’s website or our developing TAEA site so that they can see for themselves the many benefits of joining.

I also believe becoming part of your professional organization is a responsibility that we have to each other as our way of offering our skills, support and expertise to our fellow teachers, who return the same to us in kind. So, please invite a colleague to join, remember to renew your membership when it comes due and become involved through our regional, statewide and national conferences.

Please join or renew your NAEA/TAEA member-ship at: www.arteducators.org

‘First to the Top” Assessment

Tennessee Arts Educators,

A committee comprised of arts educators is working in conjunction with the Tennessee State Department of Education to propose a plan for student growth measurement as part of the First to the Top legislation. Until such growth measures are available, educators in “non-tested” subjects may be evaluated using a TVAAS composite score for the growth component. This option could have a lasting negative impact for arts education. However, if implemented properly, a system that actually allows arts educators to be evaluated based on student growth in the arts could be a significant opportunity for arts education.

The Fine Arts Growth Measures Committee consulted with the state associations, arts supervisors, higher education officials, and over 600 arts teachers to develop the preliminary recommendations to the technical advisory committee. It is important to know that the committee recommendations are designed to be meaningful for students and sensitive to teacher time constraints (will not be needlessly reliant on excessive paperwork).

Please find a link to the document that outlines the committee recommendations.

http://www.mediafire.com/?g1ry1wagm99u9d0

The committee is still working on this important task.

If you have suggestions, comments, or general feedback, you may provide your input through the following link:

https://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=dDdjN3FVX2p4dmswT0c3UzY0Z2FaTnc6MQ

Emerging Perspectives | Connecting Teaching, Learning, and Research

The 2012 NAEA National Convention theme focuses on the idea that we are better educators when we collaboratively explore what it means to be teachers and learners, and how research can improve visual arts education spanning all educational levels and environments. We have many perspectives and one focal point: the power of visual arts education to fulfill human potential.

In New York City, NAEA will mark its 65th anniversary, and celebrate as our past, present, and future come together. What better place to celebrate who we are as artists and educators than New York City—the great melting pot—the arts capital of the world!

The value of any conference can be measured by the connections we make, with people and ideas. I invite you to join us at the 2012 NAEA National Convention and make those connections!
