Mark Your Calendars! Congratulations! 2016 YPAE & YAM Participants
On Saturday, March 5th the
2016 Youth Art Month and
Young People’s Art Exhibi-
tion hosted receptions for
students, parents and fami-
lies from the nine regions
across the state of Ohio.
OAEA President Laura
Tawil and OAEA President
Elect Alice Tavani spoke about the importance of art and art education at
the receptions.
Each student received a sketchbook from Sketch In Schools with a mosaic
cover off all the artwork from the show. The funds generated from the art-
work from Artsonia covered the cost of the sketchbooks. This year’s art-
work can also be viewed and purchased at Artsonia.com.
Sargent Art once again has offered prizes to teachers and students who submit artwork
to YAM, YPAE and the High School show. Alana McCoy, Grade 7 from Ayersville Ele-
mentary School, Art Teacher Shannon George is the Middle School Winner. Camille
Chatfield, Grade 5 from Conneaut Elementary School, Art Teacher Jessica Swonger is
the Elementary School Winner.
You can see all the art on the website Artsonia.com We host all the work here, go to
the website and search OAEA under schools to take you to the site with work. You can
purchase any art on items and 20% of all purchases go back to our exhibi-
tions fund. Thanks to all the teachers for submitting art for these state shows. In the
always changing world of education we need to continue to strive to keep the
creativity of the visual arts in the lives of our students!

Dear Western Region members,
As Spring is swiftly moving to Summer I am sure you, like myself, are looking forward to
the much welcomed reprieve that comes at the end of the School Year. I love every minute
of teaching and the many varied tasks I get to do as an art educator but when summer
looms, one of the things I am most excited about is time that can be devoted almost exclu-
sively to creating artwork.
During the academic year, my focus rests primarily on the work of teaching, leaving little
room and space for making. I admire those colleagues who have a weekly art-making gath-
ering and work together. I haven’t yet found the way to fit that into my schedule. Yet, ra-
ther than feeling guilty about what I should be doing, or comparing myself to others process and products, I’ve
chosen to focus this spring on ‘filling my bucket’ with creative acts that bring joy. These include working in the
garden, hiking, biking, and reading books (unrelated to academia)!
Recently, I picked up Elizabeth Gilbert’s 2015 book titled, “Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear.” Reading
this book has provided perspective and possibility. If you haven’t read it, I encourage you to do so. One of the
reasons I justify not creating is putting everything and everyone else first. I don’t make time for my work. Gilbert
suggests that creativity is a relationship cultivated with the mysterious; we need, she advises, to courageously
show up, and be present to DO the work. In this way, when inspiration, the mysterious, or if you’d like to call it,
the Divine, deigns to grace us with its presence, we are ready and prepared. This summer, I commit to showing
up daily for my creative process and cultivating that crucial relationship. What commitment will you make for
yourself? Imagine what growth and personal joy will come from putting ourselves at the top of our list!
Best wishes,
Darden

Mobile Making with Artist Matthew Burgy
The winter workshop with local artist Matthew Burgy went off
like a well-balanced mobile! The large group that attended had
loads of fun learning the math of how to make the perfect mo-
bile. Hearing how he was inspired by the artist Alexander
Calder started to stir our own creative juices in order to make
many amazing mobiles. Matthew has shared his ability to
make wonderful art form with students at local art centers
as well as fellow artists wanting to learn the trade. I know
from personal experience that this form of art making can
appeal to any age group. Many of those who attended
were bouncing ideas around in order to try and find a
place to put this project in their plans for next year.
Matthew had many of his works on display such as jewel-
ry and his own personal mobiles to help inspire us. He
was also very kind to share some of the beautiful beads
he makes for his jewelry. If you are interested in looking
at some of Matthews amazing artwork you can look at his
artworks on his Facebook page Matthew R. Burgy Art-
works.
Make sure you try to catch the next workshop that will
surely get your creativity flowing and help give you that
extra boost during the year that we so often need!!
2016 Winter Workshop Recap
The 2016 regional student art exhibition, also known as the “summer show”, is open to ALL
Western members of OAEA with students in grades K-12! That’s right: It’s not just a K-8 show
or a high school show; it’s BOTH! Though the limit is eight (8) items per member, we will happi-
ly settle for one or two. If you submitted work to the YAM/YPAE, you may already have work in
the summer show, because anything not selected for YAM or YPAE is automatically entered in
the regional exhibition. Submissions will be accepted April 25 through May 11. Work can be
dropped off WEDNESDAY, MAY 11, between the hours of 5:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. ONLY dur-
ing the monthly regional board meeting at Panera on Brown Street. Other arrangements can be
made by contacting Rachel Hathaway at rachel.hathaway.beavercreek.k12.oh.us or via
phone at (937) 429-7588 x7635.
Once the work has been collected, the chairperson will organize it and send letters to all students and teachers with work in
the show. The show will be displayed at the ArtStreet Gallery on Kiefaber Street, adjacent to the University of Dayton. The
date for hanging the show is Monday, June 13 (Volunteers should meet at the gallery by 9 a.m.). Please contact Rachel Hath-
away with any questions you may have.) The show will be available for viewing from June 14 through June 30 during regu-
lar gallery hours (10-4pm), and the artists’ opening receptions are scheduled for Wednesday, June 15.
