Hello!
I am an artist, educator, and entrepreneur of the fine arts. My most current endeavours have been with ceramics, drawing, painting, photography, and mixed media. I am also very involved in community groups, councils, and hold leadership roles on various boards. I travel around within our district showing and selling artwork. I think it is important, especially at the high school level, to offer these same opportunities for students and do my best to include those who are interested in as many contests and shows as possible. I would like to connect with teachers who would be interested in forming a partnership in organizing a district art show for our students. If you are interested in this idea and would like to add your name to the list of those available to brainstorm, plan, organize, and put together the show, let me know. We also want to hear from you! Send me updates of what you are planning, participating in, and are learning about in your school system. Send me an email with details, pictures, and additional information as your submission could be featured in our Contact Magazine article for our district! |

D2 NEWS...
Hi everyone!
At the convention this year, we focused on creativity as the topic for our district meeting. We talked about how creativity is relevant, interesting, and how teachers explore the 21st century skill in their art rooms. I shared a website (still in the developmental stages) which offers explanations and resources for students when defining creativity. Looking to offer some creative exercises to explore with your students? Here is a Google doc which has some links to get you started.
Also, we began discussions for next year's quarterly meeting dates. Laurel has offered a meeting location to be at PFW with the opportunity to work with felting. Brenda has offered another meeting location to be at her lake home during the summer with the opportunity to paint en plein air. An email will go out as well as a post on our Facebook page with additional information once dates and times are established.
Wishing you a great rest of the school year!
