In the last year there has been no end to the news about the downturn in the economy, but what they fail to report on is all of the ways that dire times can encourage creative solutions. As art educators we are, in some cases, the first step in the students’ life to move towards a more creative and innovative life. Rather than finding ourselves discouraged by the flood of news and statistics, this is an opportunity to educate ourselves in the current state of art education and find creative ways to bridge those gaps. Having taught art education for over 34 years I can say without hesitation that art is a subject that can transform and enrich a students’ life and prepare them to be well rounded members of society. It is unfortunate that our state and national government doesn’t always see it the same way and back it up with funding. What we know about art education is that it can open up new worlds of learning for students. Unfortunately those worlds seem to be more available to those with more money. The problem is that art education is not equally accessible or available for all students. Recently in the NAEA News they posted the results of the “National Arts Report Card.” The findings show that although there is a lot of art being taught, it is, to put it bluntly, less accessible for minority students or students with less money. In many cases the amount of art education available is equal or greater then it was ten years ago. What the report card throws into sharp focus is the gaps that exist between racial, gender, and even socioeconomic lines. We know, as art educators, that there are numerous reasons to keep art alive in schools: cultural awareness, brain development, and increased observation, to name a few. It is up to us to keep pushing for a stronger art education in our individual schools and districts. The NAEA News reports that the “Nation’s Art Report Card, commonly referred to, as the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) is the only continuing national measure of the academic achievement of America’s public and private schools. The last time it was measured was 1997 for music and visual arts and the next assessment will be in 2016.”

President’s MessageAdvocacy andInformationBy Kathleen [email protected]

If you are interested in reading the complete report card go the following websites to learn more:

The Nation’s Arts Report Card home page:http://www.nationsreportcard.gov/arts_2008

See Maximizing the Nation’s Arts Report Card atwww.arteducators.org The importance placed on art education in California and the United States is less than encouraging. We need strong advocates to promote our programs and to educate our school boards, administrators and fellow teachers about the importance of children having art education taught during the day and not an additional after school program. Now we can talk about the state of art in California. I recently found out that the position of Visual and Performing Arts (VAPA) Consultant has been eliminated by the California Department of Education (CDE). This is a loss to our communication and connection to Sacramento. Laurie Schell, Executive Director California Alliance for Arts Education states, “We need a person in that position who will continue to advocate for the arts in public education. While we recognize that the Department is acting in response to the legislature’s decision to provide local education agencies with flexibility to deliver categorical funding for arts education, it can be pointed out that the VAPA Consultant position preceded the categorical funding and has existed within the CDE system for 23 years. The position serves a critical role in the interpretation, implementation, and representation of arts education in California.”

As educators we are aware that high school graduates are required to take one year of visual arts/performing arts or foreign language. The UC and CSU systems require one year of visual arts/performing arts to be considered as an applicant. The visual and performing arts are considered as NCLB (No Child Left Behind) core academic courses and require NCLB compliant teachers of instruction. As an organization CAEA has sent out an email blast to all members to respond to the California Department of Education (CDE). The requirements and maintenance of a long-standing commitment to arts education as an essential component of a complete education, CAEA believes the California Department of Education must provide adequate representation for the concerns and interests of the visual and performing arts teachers and programs. Please send your emails to the following people to let them know that we need a VAPA consultant at the CDE. Here are the people to contact: Jack O’Connell, State Superintendent of Schools:[email protected] Gavin Payne, Chief Deputy Superintendent of Public Instruction: [email protected] Deb Sigman, Deputy Superintendent for Assessment and Accountability: [email protected] Phil Lafontaine, Assistant Superintendent for Professional Development and Curriculum Support:[email protected]

This year’s conference theme is All Roads Lead to Art and most of us would agree with that statement. However, many of you may feel that there is “sig alert” in effect when it comes to funding your art program or attending this year’s conference, a place where educators go to recharge their batteries, tune their engines, and fuel up for another educational journey. For many, significant road blocks were created by the budget crisis, categorical fund shifts, and drastic cuts. But as experienced California drivers know, there are always back streets and byways around road blocks to get you where you need to go.

Here are some ways to get assistance:

NAEF Grant Funding

If you are an NAEA member, the National Art Education Foundation has a number of grants available to fund the purchase of equipment, support a new program, or provide you with funds for professional growth, to name a few. Sadly, money each year goes undistributed because no one applies or an application is not detailed enough and that knocks it out of the running. Go to the NAEA website (www.arteducators.org) and click on Grants and Opportunities for a list of these grants and what they cover. Look online at the CAEA website for a summary of tips for applying for these grants, something I learned at the recent NAEA Convention in Minnesota. In addition, NAEA provides a list of other national grants and programs that can help you with everything from technology to curriculum development, and there are many links to sites that will assist you through the challenge of grant writing. Often administration and district offices can provide guidance in grant writing, too.

CAEA Professional Development Scholarships

Due to restricted budgets, CAEA is offering assistance to newer teachers and veterans alike so that they can attend this year’s conference. The Lynn Hickey Professional Scholarship provides funds to attend the 2009 Conference for a CAEA member who is a newer teacher with five or less years of experience. For those CAEA members with five or more consecutive years of membership with no funding from their schools, districts, or universities, etc., CAEA is offering two to five Continuing Teacher Professional Development Scholarships. The scholarship consists of one full conference

registration and one night’s stay in the Wilshire Grand Hotel. Look for more details on these opportunities on page 14 in this issue and on our website www.caea-arteducation.org, under Special Programs, Professional Development.

Parent and Community Support

Ask your parents for direct help. Talk to PTAs, send home a letter with students, or get something on the school website. Provide a wish list of supplies and equipment that you need. You may be surprised at what people will donate whether it be paint sets, brushes, or even just a packet of construction paper. Every little bit helps. Try local art and office supply stores or framing stores, too. Writing a note of appreciation for these donations goes a long way to encourage more giving!

Retiring Teachers Recycling

Retiring teachers often have cupboards full of personal books, special equipment, posters, and other teaching materials that they have purchased over the years and no longer need. When you retire, recycle by contacting your Area President and let them know what you have to offer to share with other teachers. You can also participate in Arts Share at the LA Conference (details on page 15).

With the protracted financial crisis in our state and local government, there is no one map to help teachers find their way to the desired destination of a quality, standards based, art education program, but there are resources out there if you are willing to drive just a bit farther in search of funding.

See you in Los Angeles!

I hope everyone has had a great, relaxing summer and is ready to start another exciting year of art. The Central Area has been embracing the arts. The Bakersfield Museum of Art offered Art Camp for children ages 6-12. Each week was designed around different themes. Young artists around Kern County explored drawing, painting and 3D media. An art show for these students was held on Thursday, July 30 at the BMOA.

Older artists had the opportunity to also explore different media by taking classes at local gallery, Surface Gallery. These classes were held on a Saturday and included, figure drawing, book making, block printing, oil painting and ceramics. Local artists taught the classes and educators from the KHSD were given credit. This was a great time for artists to learn new skills and collaborate with others. Surface will be continuing to offer classes in the fall due to the overwhelming response from the community. Check out their website at:http://surface-gallery.blogspot.com/

We have already started planning for our CAEA mini-conference in fall. Our mini-conferences are a wonderful way for educators to meet new people and learn new, wonderful standard-based art lessons. Our fall conference is always in the Fresno area, and will be hosted by Barrie Burnham. The date will be September 19, 2009. The conference will be all day from 8-3 pm. Participants will need to bring a box lunch. If you are interested in presenting a lesson, please contact me via email at: [email protected].

In addition to the mini-conference, our state conference in Los Angeles is going to be a crucial opportunity for art educators to stock up on ideas and lessons, to boost all of our classrooms to the next level! Due to state budget constraints, we still hope everyone will take advantage of this amazing conference. This is the time to be an advocate for the arts and the state conference is a great place to do that!

It was an exciting spring for Northern Area workshop attendees, and fall promises to be just as exciting with the upcoming state conference “All Roads Lead to Art,” local Northern Area workshops, fall meeting at the San Jose Museum and Holiday Social.

David Crammer amazed members at his glass workshop with the glass and ceramics program he has built up at Palo Alto High School in the last fifteen years. In addition to ceramics and glass blowing, he teaches glass and bronze casting. It was wonderful to tour his facility, see his students at works, hear about how he built his program from scratch and create the money to do it! We each cast our own glass project and learned how to fire it in a ceramic kiln. Workshop attendees walked away with lessons and a wealth of information on getting started in their classrooms. Hats off to David for creating such an extra ordinary program, one of only a few in the nation!

At the May workshops John Toki (sculptor, College of Arts and Crafts professor and president of Leslie Ceramics) went over the details of using an electric kiln and what it can do. He gave lots of trouble shooting tips and showed the proper way to load a kiln for firing various types of objects. This was a nuts and bolts workshop and even for a veteran ceramics teacher, there was plenty to be learned. In the afternoon John and Ben Belknap went over applications for under glazes, engobes, stains, oxides, and glazes. We talked about solving common glaze problems and other problems we might encounter teaching ceramics. These were two very valuable workshops for those of us teaching or interested in teaching ceramics! If you have

Northern AreaNewsBy Susan [email protected]

any questions about clay or are interested in putting a ceramics program together from scratch, John is the go-to guy!

Jos Stances, mural artist, John Toki, sculptor, and Lisa Norman, artist and public school facilitators of mural art, gave a wonderful workshop on the making of public art. They wowed us with their public projects, talked about the making of their work and gave us advice and steps on how to get started at our own schools. Lisa has done amazing work in the public schools and went step-by-step on how you go about taking an idea using students and community and transforming it into an installed finished piece of work. This was an outstanding workshop, and one that I was particularly looking forward to.

Proposed upcoming workshops include block printing, altered books, transferring of images on just about anything, and making trading cards. Look for places and dates in your emails. If you live in the Northern Area (maybe San Francisco and East Bay are too far to go) and would like to host a workshop in your area, please let me know about it. These workshops are all about getting together, developing and sharing ideas and experiences. Maybe you are developing a project that you would like some advice on, or you would like to go to a workshop on it before you get started. Let me hear from you. This organization was developed with the intention of supporting you in the classroom… so speak up.

The next meeting will be at the San Jose Museum of Art on Saturday, October 2, 2009 at 11 AM. Following our meeting, a museum member will speak about the museum and their school and community outreach programs. Members may take a guided tour and eat lunch in a very nice café. Email me about free tickets to the museum. (The date is tentative as yet. I am waiting confirmation.) Once again, if you are a member in the Northern Area and are not receiving emails from me, please email me at [email protected]

Before I go, I would like to give a big ”Howdy Welcome” to new members: Julie Baptista, student teacher in Fremont, Valerie Gibbs, Redwood High School, Redwood City, Leslie Smith of Oakland, Gina Holmberg, Irvington High School, Fremont, and Alexander Lefkort, Thornton Junior High, Fremont. Glad you joined!

To all Northern Area members, a big “Welcome back to School” …and let me hear from you…!

I have to smile as I reflect upon the past year as the CAEA Southern Area President. Last September many people asked me if I was ready to serve as President and I was happy to say, “Yes, I am ready! In my first article, I wrote CAEA is about you – the members. I asked you, “Are you ready? Are you ready for what lies ahead? Are you ready to take full advantage of all CAEA has to offer? Are you ready to grow as an arts leader in your school or art organization?”

Over the past year, I dodged several bullets, namely personal loss, the economy, and a pink slip. Most educators would be pressed to the wall and possibly forego extra duty responsibilities, yet I kept hearing an inner voice telling me “keep busy, keep busy.” At times I felt like Winston Churchill, a man who always pressed forward – taking quick 10-minute naps, with the world relying on his every waking minute. My father-in-law died, and being there for my wife Patti took a whole world of comfort while her personal storm passed; the economy took a severe turn for the worse, preventing many people from doing art related activities; cut backs seemed to be the popular phrase of the day; and lastly I saw the writing on the wall spelling out “I’ve been Pink Slipped.” Things were looking pretty grim, yet my inner voice kept saying, “keep busy, keep busy.”

By being “crazy busy”, I managed to find ways to solve the problems that confronted me. I found unique partnering opportunities and alternative ways to pay for professional development, which enabled me to take full advantage of all that CAEA has to offer. I was able to attend the annual state art conference, as well as pay for county seminars that provided me with the informational knowledge to weather art storms that we all are facing today. By being visible and advocating for the arts, people recognize your efforts and will do everything possible to keep you. I managed to have my pink slip rescinded and now have a full-time teaching position this school year.

As I grow as your arts leader, I know that I have a support system through CAEA, through my county, district and school arts leaders, and through each and every member of our wonderful association.

Take the initiative, be a part of your association, never let your inner thoughts be alone in your art room, step outside just as any great artist would do and paint your own picture of opportunity, membership association, and be a part of your local arts leadership team. It’s crazy busy at times but

Southern AreaNewsBy Bruce [email protected]

art is never done; there is always something to create. So I ask again this year, are you ready for what lies ahead? I am! Are you?

The California Arts Project (TCAP)Rave Reviews for the Courageous Creativity Conference at Disney’s Paradise Pier

Over 100 California educational leaders interested in arts education gathered to see, experience, and learn from the inside of the intersection of visual and performing arts education for their students and the arts, media, and entertainment sector.

By Carol [email protected]

“Awesome, amazing and informative!” was one of the evaluation comments written by a participant of The California Arts Project’s 3rd Annual Courageous Creativity Conference: Leading the Nexus of Arts & Career Education, held June 24 – 26, 2009 at Disney’s Paradise Pier® Hotel in Anaheim.

The sold out conference, opened Wednesday night with keynote speaker, Martin Sklar, Disney’s “Imagineering Ambassador” speaking on “Followership,” and closed on Friday, with Dan Hahn, producer and animation author on “Why We Create.” In between, over the two and a half days, participants engaged in special presentations, uniquely designed behind the scenes conference tours, breakout sessions, and one of a kind experiences. “What a fantastic environment to highlight the creativity and collaboration of the arts.” The California Arts Project and Walt Disney Imagineering again jointly designed the conference to maximize resources from both agencies. In Martin Sklar’s conference welcome he wrote “The arts, in their broadest definition, may be more deeply imbedded in the “Disney DNA” than any other company in the world. At Imagineering, we have 140 different disciplines working together to create Disney Magic. The results are enjoyed by millions of people every hour of every day in our 11 parks and resorts around the world.”

Kristine Alexander, The California Arts Project’s Executive Director wrote in her welcome, “The story of California’s response to the challenges facing education today will be written by you the educational leaders. It will take informed, creative and courageous decisions daily by educational leaders within districts, schools, and communities to develop, implement, and expand standards-based, comprehensive, arts education for all students within our state.”

The Disney Resort provided the perfect venue as a successful corporate example for participants to immerse themselves

in the world of arts and entertainment. The California Arts Project’s resources provided insight and inspiration through breakout sessions as to the need for rigorous visual and performing arts education for all students. Sessions on finding the links for student success between visual and performing and arts, media, and entertainment education standards were held in various formats including “Conversation Panels” with practicing professionals in all three arts, media, and entertainment pathways. Educational leaders found resources and supports to improve their arts education programs.

One participant responded to the evaluation question about what might change due to the conference about their approach to career education with “Looking at and including Career Technical Education standards in my courses, becoming more proactive in research, and developing relationships within the business community in the arts.” An elementary principal found insight into “…the importance of having rounded experiences in the arts and core curriculum.”

Early Friday morning, participants had a magical pre-Disneyland opening experience when visiting the “It’s A Small World” attraction. The recent makeover of this world-famous icon was detailed to us in a fascinating talk from Tony Baxter, Senior Vice President of Creative Development, Walt Disney Imagineering and Kim Irving, Director Concept/Show Design, Walt Disney Imagineering. We learned about the the creative process involved in

“A Thousand Hands - From Concept to Opening Day.” One attendnee said, “I found fascinating, how to stay true to the original concept and interject new technology and ideas.”

Participants then returned to the hotel for another conference favorite, the Imagineering Panel discussion and lunch with an Imagineer as the Imagineers joined the participants at a table to talk over lunch. The Imagineers provided insight into the interdependence of creativity with arts, science, and literature. The panel shared their own educational journeys and insights into their daily work life. “Loved it! A true example of the interdependence of creativity - Art, Science, Literature. If these stories were shared with students, the concept of lifetime learners would be better understood.”

“The story of California’s response to the challenges facing education today will be written by you theeducational leaders.”

– Kristine Alexander,Executive Director, TCAP

KEYNOTE SPEAKER: FRIDAY 11/13


Bill Viola (b.1951) is considered a

pioneer in the medium of video

art and is internationally recog-

nized as one of today’s leading

artists. He has been instrumental

in the establishment of video

as a vital form of contemporary

art, and in so doing has helped

to greatly expand its scope in

terms of technology, content,

and historical reach. For over 35

years he has created videotapes,

architectural video installations,

sound environments, electronic

music performances, flat panel video pieces, and works

for television broadcast. Viola’s video installations—total

environments that envelop the viewer in image and sound—

employ state-of-the-art technologies and are distinguished by

their precision and direct simplicity. They are shown in museums

and galleries worldwide and are found in many distinguished

collections. His single channel videotapes have been widely

broadcast and presented cinematically, while his writings have

been extensively published, and translated for international

readers. Viola uses video to explore the phenomena of sense

perception as an avenue to self-knowledge. His works focus

on universal human experiences—birth, death, the unfolding

of consciousness—and have roots in both Eastern and Western

art as well as spiritual traditions, including Zen Buddhism,

Islamic Sufism, and Christian mysticism. Using the inner

language of subjective thoughts and collective memories, his

videos communicate to a wide audience, allowing viewers to

experience the work directly, and in their own personal way.

Throughout his 40 year career as an artist, Frank Romero has been a dedicated member of the Los Angeles arts community. As a member of the 1970s Chicano art collective, Los Four, Romero and fellow artists Carlos Almaraz, Beto de la Rocha and Gilbert Lujan, helped to define and promote the new awareness of La Raza through murals, publications and exhibitions. Los Four’s historic 1974 exhibition at

the Los Angeles County Museum of Art was the country’s first show of Chicano art at a major art institution.

Since then, Romero has successfully balanced a career in both the public and private arenas. He has completed over 15 murals throughout the city, and was a key contributor to the 1984 Olympic Arts Festival with “Going to the Olympics,” a large

scale mural which adorns one of Los Angeles’ busiest freeways (Highway 101). He created a 44’ mural, The L.A. River, which was featured recently at the Natural History Museum in Los Angeles’ “L.A.: Light/Motion/Dreams” exhibition. Among his most noted works are the 21’ mural painting, The History of the Chicano Movemiento, and the political trilogy The Closing of Whittier Boulevard, The Death of Ruben Salazar and The Arrest of the Palateros.

Romero has shown extensively in the United States, Europe and Japan. Notable exhibitions include “Chicanarte” (L.A. Municipal Gallery), “Hispanic Art in the United States” (Corcoran Gallery, Washington D.C. and national tour), “Le Demon des Anges” (Nantes, France; Barcelona, Spain; Lund Sweden and Brussels, Belgium), and “American Kaleidoscope” (National Museum of American Art, Smithsonian Institution, Washington D.C.).

Frank Romero was a recipient of the prestigious 2001/2001 COLA Award Grant. In addition, his work is included in Cheech Marin’s “Chicano Visions: American Painters on the Verge” which was at The Los Angeles Museum of Art in 2008. The artist and his wife, Sharon, also a painter, divide their time between homes in Los Angeles, California and Southern France.

CAEA/CHAPMAN UNIVERSITY EXTENDED LEARNING 2009

Paperwork, including three forms (A, B, & C) will be available after registering onsite at the conference. The forms are also available in advance online at www.caea-arteducation.org.

Attendees complete two copies of the Chapman University Extended Learning Credit Registration, Form A. One copy of the completed form and payment must be turned in at the Registration Desk at the Conference or mailed to the address listed on the forms. The second copy is kept for the attendee’s records.The California Art Education Association Annual Conference offers Keynote Speakers, Workshops, and Masters Workshops concerning the history of art, art criticism, and aesthetics, art making, and curriculum and pedagogy in art.

Digital media workshops will be offered every day of the conference, but Saturday will be the day when multiple workshops dealing with the many different aspects of digital arts (such as 2-D animation, 3-D animation, computer graphics, digital photography, digital image manipulation, digital video production, multimedia installation, equipment, software, standards based lessons, and rubrics), including master classes at and tours of the “new” Los Angeles High School for the Arts will be offered for all conference attendees. With payment of your full conference registration or a one-day pass you will be able to access the many strategies for bringing the digital highway to your classroom. The digital art arena is rapidly expanding; virtually every visual arts teacher is entering the arena or is on the outskirts wondering how the digital arts will affect their classroom. For this reason, this year’s conference will offer sessions to cover the gamut of digital needs and interests that are emerging in today’s never-ending rapid succession of cheaper, faster, better, wider, farther, and more interactive; everyone attending the conference is welcome to attend. Saturday’s digital focus will also offer keynote speaker, internationally known video artist, Bill Viola.

To take advantage of all the digital offerings just plan to attend those sessions marked with a computer icon in the workshop schedule (pages 40-45 of this issue).

WATTS TOWERS(MORNING)

Tour #4:Friday November 13, 9:30am–12:20pm

Visit a unique cultural icon in Los Angeles: The Watts Towers. Begun in 1921, Simon Rodia, an Italian immigrant, worked on the towers for over 34 years. “Construction worker by day and artist by night, Rodia adorned his towers with a diverse mosaic of broken glass, sea shells, generic pottery and tile, a rare piece of 19th-century, hand painted Canton ware and many pieces of 20th-century American ceramics. Rodia once said, ‘I had it in mind to do something big and I did it.’” The tallest of his towers stands 99½ feet and contains the longest slender reinforced concrete column in the world. Once slated to be demolished, it was saved by a group of concerned citizens and has undergone years of restoration and renovation to preserve it. This tour includes a visit to the towers, the Watts Towers Art Center, a film about Rodia, galleries that feature local or student artists, as well a workshop related to the visit.

Instructor: Teri BrudnakClass size limit: 30Materials fee: no fee

So many concepts can be taught via the creation of Artists Trading Cards. From teaching concepts of the elements and principles of art to exploring subjects unique to specific design topics, ATCs are an engaging way to involve students in group interaction and discussions. The use of digital tools extends the creation of ATCs to an exciting level. Using scanners, photography, digital collage, vector graphics and typography can layer many levels of visual complexity and meaning. Participants will learn how to prepare materials for scanning, create layered files of visual elements and overlay templates for layout and cutting. We will discuss types of card stock and set up for printing as well as using traditional art materials to enhance the cards after printing.

Various lessons that use the creation of ATCs as a focal point will be discussed. Bring flash drive, with digital images if you wish.

There is no need for a linear outline. Olivia will show you how to prepare the canvas, transfer your

design, and modulate and blend colors for realistic painterly effects for lush complex work. This is an advanced technique for achieving control in silk painting. This class will hurl you into the rich world of painting with dye on silk using watercolor techniques.

Raku (#462)

Instructor: T. RobertClass size: TBDMaterials: Bring 2-3 pieces of bisque pieces of pottery no larger than 8”X 8”.

Raku firing is a fascinating process to see and be a part of—both dramatic and exciting. It is also a wonderful way to actually watch the glazes melt and see what happens inside the kiln in a matter of minutes. Participants will learn the history, philosophy and aesthetics of Raku as well as actively be involved in the glazing, loading and firing of wares. They will be instructed on traditional glaze techniques and encouraged to extend boundaries to explore and innovate their own concepts of design and application as it relates to “Rakuness.” Participants will actively be involved in the firing process and will learn key elements to successful firing. Equipment, glaze, and tools will be provided. Fun, quick and exciting, participants will leave with finished work. Bring bisque pots (no larger then 8” x 8”) or chose from a selection provided.

Following in the style of Chuck Close’s later work, we will be creating a fingerprint self-portrait. As a class we will take digital photos of one another. We will work together to bring the image into Adobe Photoshop and create a second layer to sketch out the lights and darks of each image. Each student will scan an inked fingerprint and learn how to turn it into a brush, that will then be used to complete the self portrait.

Participants in this class will gain an understanding of Chuck Close’s art and career, as well as the element of value and principles of pattern and repetition. We will discuss teaching this technique to high school students, incorporating the elements and principles of art as well as the philosophy of using the natural self-portrait of a fingerprint to create a self-portrait using digital media. Lesson plans will be handed out. CDs will be available for purchase to save work, or students may bring flash drives if desired.


Liquid Metals and Patinas (#363)

Instructor: Madelynne EngleClass size limit: 20Materials fee: $20.00

Advances in materials now allow the artist to create both paintings and sculpture with liquid metal coatings over virtually any surface or texture. This class will cover the basic use of materials and hands-on application of the metal coatings and patinas. They are appropriate for both contemporary and traditional forms. The liquid metals offer substantial reliability and durability to otherwise degradable surfaces. Because the liquid metals can be applied to everything from found objects to gauze, from old gears to slippers, from canvas to stone, your work has increased sustainability and will allow you to create something enduring from almost nothing. That’s true upcycling. These metal coatings are soluble and non-toxic.

This class is intended to introduce you to new materials, and to encompass techniques that deliver relevant, immediately applicable tools and knowledge. You will leave class with a selection of your own metal and patina samples for your portfolio... a new creative choice, creative voice. Never stop playing! ...and bring an old apron to wear in class...these materials are meant to be permanent.

This class is a great opportunity for the artist/non artist to enjoy and explore an exciting new medium. We will be working on a 8”x 8” tile.

My use of recycled materials is very intentional. I am intrigued with the natural aging process of all of my chosen items. I find such an overlooked beauty in the various stages and imperfections

that come with the passage of time, Whatever it was that originally attracted me to each item, I want that true odd beauty and fascination to remain.

ARTS SHARE: A WAY TO RECYCLE AND SUPPORT OTHER CAEA TEACHERS

Help a fellow CAEA teacher and support art education by donating materials, tools, art posters, teaching aides, and any other educational items that you no longer need to ARTS SHARE, a new event at the state conference in Los Angeles. The ARTS SHARE room will be set up at the conference where you can bring items to give to someone else to use. While some continuing teachers may have something they want to share, this is also a great opportunity for retired or soon to be retired teachers to pass on posters, used books, and other treasures to new teachers who are just getting started or to assist continuing teachers, who may be struggling with budget issues. Questions? Contact Susan Wuerer at [email protected] and look for the ARTS SHARE room in LA. Thanks for your generosity!
