DCSC Arts In Education Program Enhanced by Grant Awards

Delphi Community Middle School art students had the exclusive pleasure of learning about expressive watercolors from Artist-In Residence Rena Brouwer.

She taught watercolor techniques to all sixth, seventh, and eighth graders who are taking art this fourth nine weeks. The students' work culminated with expressive self-portraits.

Brouwer arrived at the school March 31 and worked with the students through April 11 . Her residency was made possible through an Art In Education grant from the Indiana Arts Commission and DCSC.

Brouwer, who lives east of Pyrmont, in Carroll County, is a s igna-ture member of the Watercolor Society of Indiana and serves on the Society's board of directors.

Her painting, "The Courting," was just recently in the Hoosier Salon Exhibition at the Indiana State Museum in Indianapolis and will be part of the Salon's state-wide travel ing exhibit.

Brouwer is currently exhibiting as "The Grand WAA-Bash" at the Tippecanoe Arts Federation gallery at the Wells Center in Lafayette. Her painting, "Carp Fishing," was judged Best of Show in this annual event.

Brouwer was selected to be on a panel of Indiana watercolorist this summer to demonstrate watercolor techniques and approaches through the Indianapolis Museum of Art's educational services. The demonstrations will be held in conjunction with the Turner watercolor exhibit from Manchester, England.

Also this summer, Brouwer will be teaching at the Greater Lafayette Museum of Art and at the Morton Community Center in West Lafayette.

Her work has been purchased by various corporate and private collectors, including Circle Center Mall Corporate Office in Indianapolis, Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority house at Purdue, Frankfort library, and Lafayette Surgical Clinic.

Rena gave 100% plus in the class room. Seventeen DCSC employees had the privilege of taking an after school work shop with Brouwer. Students studied the techniques of beginning watercolor paint-ing. Thank you Rena, for adding such a wonderful unit of instruction to our curriculum.

Tucked away in a small rural setting is the studio of chair caning artist, Tim Roberson. Not many among you would even know this artistry takes place. Roberson is a self-taught weaver that made a difference. "This program was supported by a grant from the Eli-Lilly and Company-Tippecanoe Laboratories, Indiana Arts Commission and the National Endowment For the Arts."

Camden Elementary's friend, Tim Roberson was actively em-ployed at Crysler Corporation until the fall of 1991. A virus, known as Gillian Serre' Syndrome, attacked his body causing him to loose much of the muscle power of his legs and hands.

From this tragedy, Tim was not able to return to his employment. His dear wife, Ruby owned an upholstery business. She needed to work in her shop as much as possible while still devoting necessary nursing care and therapy to her husband, Tim.

Together they agreed they might consider chair caning. Through research and scouting around Tim began learning the caning and weaving process. After many hours of trial and error and self-determination an art grew out of a skill. Caning and weaving seats and backs to chairs and other wicker items has become second nature to Tim. It is as though he doesn't even realize this pioneer craft has lost it's popularity and has almost become a forgotten art.

Roberson's residency provided each fifth grade visual arts student the o~portunity to weave a top for a life-size foot stool. This husband and wife team presented a series of lessons in weaving that were both produc-tive and fun. A proposal of this type developed a sense of pride in crafts-manship, artistic success, and quality humanistic characteristics that are only found by studying with the "old masters." Thank you, Tim and Ruby, for providing us with a heart full of memories and new respect forthe art of weaving.

Both displays are on exhibit in the student section of the show.

HOOSIER SALON EXHIBIT

The 73rd. Annual Exhibition featured 386 works by 247 artists (53 were first time exhibitors) in various mediums, selected from over ~95 entries. The exhibition has been presented in its entirety at the Indiana State Museum from March 23 • April 13, 1997. Due to the high level of competition and the prizes awarded, a spot in the Hoosier Salon Annual Exhibit is highly coveted. .

Thanks to the efforts of executive director, Pat Templin, for the second year in a row, Delphi is the first stop on the annual tour .. The traveling exhibit consists of paintings, drawings, pastels and various original prints by top Indiana artists.

All Hoosiers Salon pieces in the Delphi Art Show are labeled as such and display a card stating the title of the work, t~e artist's na~e, and the cost of the piece. The original exhibition proudly dtsp~ayed ~8 pieces of sculpture this year. Sculpture does not tour due to a higher risk of damage. .

Hoosier Salon Catalogs are available, at a cost, by asking any visual arts instructor or Kappa Kappa Kappa member.

1997 DELPHI ART SHOW FOCUSES ON TRAVELS OF TWO SOCIAL STUDIES TEACHERS

Can you imagine being a social studies teacher and finall~ receiving the opportunity to travel to a country you had been teaching about for years? Actually, this can happen. DCMS t~achers Dave . Weckerly and Chuck Wilson did just that. Wecker.ly m.1995 .and W1~son in 1994. The art show is most pleased to have their artifacts m our .display. This Rotary sponsored trip brought not only pride to our local Delphi Rotary Organization, but as educators, we salute these two gen~lemen a.nd congratulate them upon their accomplishments: Further mformatron about these two extravaganzas is available on the main floor of our gallery.

MIKE FLOYD 10571 N. CORLEY DR. MONTICELLO, IN 46907

Professional Artists

Mike is a product of the Delphi Community School Corporation. He attended Pittsburgh Elementary where Barbara Walker was his art teacher. Early on Mike showed a sincere interest in art. He later was an art student of Don Brothers at DCMS where his artistic skills continued to grow. Finally, as an art student of Jack Sanders at OCHS, he made his decision to pursue art as a vocation. It was at that time that he created the design of the ORACLE. It is the one still used today. While in high school Mike was most active in sports and also served as a male cheerleader. His exploratory teaching was conducted at the old DCMS with Don Brothers. Following his college education, Mike moved from his first career choice of teaching to that of commercial art.

The 1982 OCHS graduate is the son of Mrs. Sue Floyd, who owns and manages Ready Set Go pre-school, and the late Ed Floyd. He studied graphic art at Ball State University where he was a member of Alpha Tau Omega. As an artist, Mike participates in, the Hoosier Salon, of which he is a first year member and exhibitor in the 1997 traveling show, the Delphi Art Club, the Wabash Art Alliance, and the Tippecanoe Arts Federation.

Currently his works are on display in other galleries as well as the Hoosier Salon. They are: The Indiana State Museum and The Don Widaka Tour. For the past two years Mike has worked as a professional presenting paintings for display in private collections in Indiana, Texas, Colorado, New Mexico, Wyoming, Florida, Kansas, Arizona, California, Georgia, and New Jersey. Presently he is participating in the Department of Natural Re-sources Stamp and Calendar contest, The World Pork Expo Art Show, and Custers Last Stand Festival.

All exhibits in this show are part of a "Silent Auction." (See Details.) This up and coming artist wi ll be donating 20% of all sales to the Visual Arts Department of the Delphi Community School Corporation , in Mike's words , " It's my way of saying thanks and giving something back to my hometown."

Congratulations Mike. It's our sincere pleasure to have Delphi's own among our professional exhibitors.

All offers or bids wi ll be considered as long as they are at least 20% over the cost of the materials. Offers lower than this amount will be disqualified. The minimum bid amount allowed will not be posted, but wi ll be known to one or more members of the Delphi Art Show Committee.

In the event of two equal bids being the highest on the same painting the date and time of the bid placed wi ll determine the winning bid. If your bid is selected as the highest allowable offer, you will be contracted by telephone and arrangements for pick-up or delivery of your painting will be made. All sales tax and applicable taxes are included in the bid amount.

MARLA HELTON Serendipity 3875 W. Co. Rd. 250 N. Greencastle, IN 46135

The spirit masks created by Marla Helton, evolved as ~he created gourd vases. Occasionally she would find a gourd th~t was umqu~ an~ yet unsuitable for a vase. She was also needing to move into a new d1rect1on with her work--something more unique that would offer new challenges. The masks represent such a challenge. After months of experimentation, she found that creating the masks became easier as she matched the moo~. she was trying to create with found objects she has gathered. Eac~ spmt mask evolves just as a persons personality evolves, one step at a time. It represents an accumulation of external and internal influences. The essence of the spirit mask is to radiate the primitive nature of ones soul.

Marla's work can be found on the main floor of the gallery. Masks

and gourds are priced as marked.

BECKY TAYLOR 348 Sand Brook Dr. Noblesville, IN 46060-8664

Her paintings are representational of gardens, florals, fences, houses, boats, and seashores. Her camera and sketchbook are with her at all times in case the perfect sunset, landscape or flower crosses her path. She views her work as a fulfillment of life's purposes rather than a profes-sion. In her zest for expression, she constantly gives herself opportunit ies

for continual growth. · She has taken classes from many well-known local and national

artists and using the skills they taught her, she has developed her own style and techniques. Presently she teaches in her studio and does the circuit of art fairs in the spring, summer and fall.

CATHERINE GRUNEWALD

"The subtle humor and style within these full color pen and ink drawings, are recognizable as distinctive traits in Catherine's work. Grunewald describes her art, ."A diary of my life, I remember happy and humorous moments as I depict rural America in my folk art drawings." Catherine reflects on the simpler things of life, growing up on her father's farm, nine brothers and sisters, her farm animal friends, the serenity of nature, the kindness and the creed of her mother, "never lose your sense of humor." She tours the country Extensively, drawing and showing her work bringing an unusual combination of traditional subjects together with her contemporary folk art style. Her sensitivity and humor are detailed. Her pen, and her brilliant colors capture the vividness of life."

P. BUCKLEY MOSS

"Patricia Buckley was born on May 20, 1993 in Staten Island, New York: the second of three children of an Irish-Sicilian marriage. Her artistic potential was recognized at a young age, and she was given a place at Washington Irving High School in Manhattan, where she received four periods of art per day."

"In 1951 she earned ascholarshiptotheCooper Union, from which she subsequently graduated in Fine Arts and Graphic Design."

"Working in watercolor, etching and silkscreen she is widely appreciated in this country and in Japan where in 1990 she was given an exhibition of 53 of her paintings and etchings at the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum."

"Herself, a dyslexic, Moss has become a role model to the learning impaired and is a frequent speaker to special education and handi-capped classes. This aspect of her lite was featured in a segment of the CBS Charles Kuralt program on September 14, 1988. Charles Kuralt described Moss as the People's Artist."

"Donations by Moss of her paintings and prints have raised more then 2.5 million dollars for charities in this country and for relief services in Africa."

$177.00 $100.00 $50.00 $45.00 $45.00

"Thomas Kinkade is in his 12th year as a published artist and is renewed for infusing light into his paintings, creating incredibly romantic aod tranquil scenes. Known as "The Painter of Light," Kinkade has an almost uncanny ability to recreate dramatic effects of pictorial lighting in a way that makes the image seem to glow from within. This famous "Kinkade glow'' might help explain Kinkade' s enormous popularity as a published artist. Indeed the creations of Thomas Kinkade have become a phenomenon unprecedented in recent times, with countless millions of "Kinkade Collectors" worldwide."

"A devout Christian and family man, Thomas Kinkade draws on personal experience for much of his artistic inspiration. Many of his scenes of peace, tranquillity and nostalgia are based on family travels and memo-ries. His art celebrates life, and it is through his art that he shares his vision of peace and hope with others."

FRAN LACY 8569 N. 275 W. Delphi, Indiana 46923 219-686-2922

Fran Lacy is truly the best. She not only produces her art she lives her art. A trip to the Lacy home is like going to a museum. It's simply splendid! The Delphi Community School Corporation leans heavily on Fran and her husband Terry. They are so giving and are always helping us keep u~ o~ what's ne~ in art education and how we can promote that concept within our Delphi school's. It is with great admiration that we present Fran Lacy and her work.

Fran concentrates on the abstract in art. She uses the medium of ha~d-made paper which she creates in her studio located at her family res1denc~ . Several educators, within the Delphi Community School Corporation, have taken The Lacy's Workshop on Hand-Made paper and have found it fascinating.

DEBBIE PITMAN 7172 S·. County Rd 200E. Frankfort, Indiana 46041 765-325-2343

A Warm Delphi Art Show welcome is extended to another new artist. Debbie Pitman, a watercolorist, from Frankfort. She grew up in rural Benton County and graduated from Benton Central. Her college days were spent at Ball State University where she graduated with a degree in Education. Debbie planned on majoring in art but changed her mind when she discovered the style most emphasized was abstract art.

Although.she has received no particular training in art she credits her father giving her the encouragement she needed to pursue her hobby. She once took oil painting lessons from her neighbor. Her ability to retain information from her Jr. and Sr. High School art teachers has helped a lot.

For 15 years Debbie worked in retail where she soon took over the responsibility of making the ads and doing their art work.

Debbie enjoys using watercolor and pencil in combination. Her favorite subject is portraits of children. Someday she hopes to turn her life long love of painting into a home business. Her works have sold at The ·Indianapolis Museum of Art, The Frankfort Library Exhibits, local fairs and shows.

Russian Children's Art Work

The 1997 Delphi Art Show is pleased to have among its exhibit a selection of Russian Children's Art Work.

The Carroll High School Economics class, under the direction of Chris McGrew has sponsored this display as a part of a community service project. This exhibit was created in Russia by students at the Moscow lntercollege in Northern Moscow. Additional pieces were pur-chased and sold as part of a Christmas International gift basket. Proceeds from the sales provided monies to sponsor this display.

The Russian art teacher, Maria lvanushkina met with Carroll teacher, Chris McGrew this past summer in Moscow. The two teachers participated in Project Linking Ill, a program sponsored by Iowa State University . . The 24 Russian and Americans participants developed an e-mail curriculum that was designed to bring Russian and American stu-dents together. This is one part of that project.

ART EDUCATION IN THE DELPHI COMMUNITY SCHOOL CORPORATION

"Abilities Honed By an Arts Education" by: Gloria Goodale

Elliot Eisner of Stanford University recently asked an audience at the Getty Education Institute for the Arts in Los Angeles, "What is it that the arts teach, when taught?" In summary, here is his seven-point answer.

One of the first things that work in the arts develops is a sense of relationship, the nothing stands alone ... Whether in music, theater, pottery, or paint ing, every aspect of the work affects every other aspect. .. Attention to relationships is a fundamental mode of thinking that the arts require, not only invite.

Second, the ability to translate creation into observation requires youngsters to uses a language that is not literal, that employs metaphor, illusion, and innuendo .....

A third contribution that the arts make is to help youngsters recognize that problems can have multiple solutions, questions can have multiple answers ... ..

A fourth ability the arts can foster is the development of the ability to shift aims in the process which John Dewey called flexible purposing .....

A fifth requirement in the arts has to do with the ability to make judgements in the absence of a rule .. .. .

Next, the arts teach the ability to engage the imagination as a source of content .. ... The cultivat ion of the imagination is one of our most precious human resources.

Last, the arts enable youngsters to frame the world from an aesthetic perspective ... to see that there are many ways in which the world can be viewed.

"Do the arts contribute to the world of work?" Dr. Eisner contin-ues. "That's for you to decide. But for me, they are among the most powerful ways we become human, and that is reason enough to earn them a place in our schools."

WHY ART EDUCATION?

" ... One cannot learn to read the arts without some experience in how they are made, any more than one can learn to read words without first learning to use words to express meaning. If each of us is to use the discoveries of art in our decision making, we must, at some stage in our education, acquire a feeling for making those decisions and participating in them."

" ... In the arts ... there is no correct answer to an artistic problem; there are many. There is no procedure to tell the student with certainty that his or her solution is correct. There is no algorithm that one can employ to solve an artistic problem; one must depend upon that most exquisite of human capacities---judgement. ... The cultivation of judgement and the ability to be flexibly creative is best achieved when the task and content children encounter in school provide the space for such skills to operate. When the arts are well taught, such skills have an essential place."

" ... Students taking more than four years of music, dance, drama, or visual arts score an average of 34 points higher on verbal SAT's and 18 points higher on math SAT's than those taking less than one year of art instruc-

tion."

" ... Art education must include rigorous learning of art history, serious development of critical facilities, and a deep understanding of aesthetic principles all joined to the spirit of creative, individual expression that makes learning in the arts such a joy."

" ... With the growing concern about the number of children dropping out of school, arts education often provides the'hook' which keeps chi ldren

interested in school."

" ... If ever there was a time when we need to reawaken our intellectual and creative spirit, that time is now. To prepare ourselves for the future we need to understand ourselves as a state and nation and as part of the global community. The arts, humanities, and sciences are the foundation on which we will build that understanding." " ... As a chief executive of a technology company that thrives on creativity, I want to work with people whose imaginations have been unleashed and who tackle problems as challenges rather than as obstacles. An education enriched by the creative arts should be considered essential for everyone."
