appy New Year! It seems that the beginning of the year is a time for reflecting and preparing for change, which is exactly where I find myself in my position as president of CAEA. We are collecting applications for elections. By mid-February, the new executive board will have been officially elected. Although the official transition does not take place until April, we have much to do between now and then to handle all the details. There are more details to cover than I had planned, but the most difficult to manage are the emotions flooding my way as time once again has passed much faster than I could have ever imagined. When I first stepped into the role of president-elect, I was honestly terrified. It seemed like such a long commitment – four active years in office followed by two years with at least a half-time commitment. It seemed overwhelming. Yet, because I have always loved my involvement in CAEA, the thought of doing more and taking CAEA in new directions was very appealing.
• becoming financially sound, • obtaining and running our own website, • running and controlling our membership and conference registrations and finances. One of my goals was to reinstate the Youth Art Month program. Thanks to Justine Sawyer, we are on track with that this year. With your help, we might just have a chance to get if off the ground again. I must also say that I am proud of the fall conference, my favorite piece of CAEA. I love trying to make the conference better each year, to offer more and to make it more welcoming and enriching. This year we wanted to start a new tradition of honoring our past by recognizing those who have worked to make our association what it is today. Executive council hosted a Past presidents reception that was well attended by 8 of our alumni. The evening was full of wonderful stories and priceless advice. This is an event that we will be looking forward to in years to come.
As an executive board, we
them in writing were pivotal to our association and very overwhelming to tackle. These pivotal goals are:
It seemed that four years was a large amount of time to get things done. I was naive! Many of my big ideas are still just ideas, projects, and directions I would love to see CAEA take. Instead of implementing these ideas, I found that we needed to rebuild our foundation, strengthen our bonds, and refocus. Perhaps each new executive council feels the same way. But I hope that the last four years have made a difference. We certainly stumbled, but we also made gains.
The best part of this office is being a part of this association and interacting with its members. I could not have done my job without the support of my council and the many volunteer members who make us what we are. My executive council and several strong individuals on the board kept me motivated. I cannot thank them enough. I also love being at CAEA events and conferences with the members. Everyone always makes me feel welcome and supported. I just never imagined being in this position. Most of all, I love my CAEA family. Thank you all for your support and for all of our memories. I look forward to many more.
As an executive board, we worked to create a plan that focused not only on a two-year term but looked toward our goals beyond that into the future, hoping to have a focus that would be continued. To extend the feeling of welcome and inclusion to the entire membership, we tried to be more inclusive of the entire representative council with decisions, committees, and events. Some goals were attained (though I’ve learned that all things remain in progress). Some goals that seemed small when I put

The students brainstormed ideas and voted to create a stopmotion animation depicting a student bullied in class. The group leader was in charge of producing the stills that created the movie. Another student was in charge of creating the student and teacher figures out of clay. Another student was in charge of fabricating the furniture. Another student worked on organizing the small classroom set. Each student’s contribution was essential to the end product.

lthough I acknowledge that studying topics across disciplines enhances learning, I believe that the subject of art stands on its own. This idea is on my mind lately as I contemplate our nation’s educational focus: a misplaced focus on standardized testing, a hyper-focus on integration, and a general view of the arts as “soft subjects,” a term made popular by Elliot Eisner. But art naturally connects to every subject and life topic—and holds its own in rigor. So I ask, what can academia learn from “how we do it” in the arts? How many of you are regularly approached by people who are in awe of the work your students
accomplish? Our “do whatever it takes” sensibility and our “think outside the box” approach to education leaves those who cling to standardized outcomes wondering, “How did they do that?” Of course, I’ll tip my hat to the magical part of creating and teaching that “just happens.” However, this doesn’t occur without an inner sense of what is important in any subject. As with other subjects, we refine our craft through training and practice. But going back to the “how,” I think we do whatever it takes and we actually exist outside the box. Two ideas counterintuitive to anything standardized. We art teachers have a “spidey sense.” We possess an uncanny ability to detect the coolest lesson ideas. Where others simply see a dumpster of refuse, we see a sculpture. Where others see a line at the bank, we see a photo op. Quite some time ago, I acquired The Writer’s Block while browsing a garage sale. As I flipped through the chunky, cube-shaped book, a rush of lesson ideas filled my mind. I handed a quarter to a nice lady who seemed happy the book had found a good home. I shared with her my excitement about using the book’s ideas for art projects. Noticing her crooked, confused smile, I said, “Art is everywhere.” It is precisely our ability to exist outside the box as art teachers that allows us to explore the best and most relevant educational opportunities. We have the freedom to develop that “spidey sense.”
On another occasion, I let myself get sucked into a heated online conversation with a woman. She maintained that her very intelligent son’s music classes allowed him to “blow off steam” and “experience down time” on the flip side of a rigorous academic schedule that included physics and high-level mathematics. You can imagine how I took her to task regarding her son’s level of commitment not only to learn an entirely new language, but to proficiently perform it while being held accountable to a group expected to perform to the same level. In defense of art’s rigor, here’s another thought. Can any of you remember the endless hours outside of college class time that you spent conceiving, creating, and refining your art? It was more than double or triple the typical two hours outside of class for every hour in class spent in any subject you took, ever! Right?!? That didn’t include the time spent reading and writing either! It’s ironic that a subject containing its own set of content reading, writing, and speaking skills, a subject that incorporates the use of mathematics and science while requiring its own rigorous skill set, is generally regarded as a soft subject. Especially when art ultimately requires critical skills and proficient knowledge in a variety of topics. Last winter, I had a group of five middle-school students complete a stop-motion animation for a gallery show. This may sound simplistic. We had one month. The group
Also, everyone was available to assist others in need. If a student couldn’t work, they returned in their own time. If a student was absent, others were free to fill in. Small accomplishments were recognized and celebrated. Connections were constantly being made to the end-project goal. Each student was able to work within and challenge their potential. I was able to do whatever it took to help these students work together. They developed ideas. Threw some out. They messed up props. Threw some. They adapted to problems. They troubleshot and experimented with the materials, the story, the music, and the animation until the work was completed to their satisfaction. The result was a very moving piece that each person had a stake in producing. At the show, a colleague of mine who teaches math (and is also the aunt of the group leader), asked me, “How did you get everyone to do this?” Well, academia, that’s how we do it in art! One fresh-squeezed idea and adaptation after another. Every idea, every transition, every day, one step at a time, whatever is needed—that’s how they did it! No standardization necessary!

Denver Public Schools (DPS) middle and high school students designed and created the ornaments for Colorado’s tree for the 2013 National Christmas Tree display in President’s Park in Washington, D.C. Denver Public Schools middle and high school students joined local artists and youth from each U.S. state, territory and the District of Columbia who were selected to design and create ornaments for their respective state or territory tree. DPS visual arts teachers represented were Jessica Feaster, Skinner Middle School; Nikki Sandschaper, Kepner Middle School; Justine Sawyer, East High School; and Emily O’Ryan, George Washington High School. “It is an honor to be selected,” said Capucine Chapman, Fine Arts Program Manager for Denver Public Schools. “We are excited to be a part of the National Christmas Tree display because it allows our students and teachers to showcase their talents, represent Denver Public Schools, and to participate in this historic tradition.” Colorado’s ornaments were designed by 24 Denver Public Schools middle and high school visual arts students. Themes were chosen to reflect Colorado’s unique cultures, traditions, seasonal activities, commitment to arts in education,
Four weeks of holiday events in President’s Park included the 91st National Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony presented by the National Park Service and National Park Foundation, the official charity of America’s national parks. As one of America’s oldest holiday traditions, the National Christmas Tree Lighting began on Christmas Eve in 1923, when President Calvin Coolidge lit a Christmas tree in front of 3,000 spectators on the Ellipse in President’s Park. Since 1923, each succeeding President has carried on the tradition of what now has become a month-long event presented by the National Park Foundation and National Park Service. In addition to the National Christmas Tree display, President’s Park hosts a variety of family-oriented holiday attractions such as the Santa’s Workshop, nightly holiday performances, a Yule log, nativity scene, and model train display.
DPS visual arts teachers represented were Jessica Feaster, Skinner Middle School; Nikki Sandschaper,

OK, all of you, I’m back with more ramblings.... Welcome! You’re just in time for some more of those "quotable quotes" from those wonderful people in the arts: "Drawing is the honesty of the art.

Chesterton "Very few people possess true artistic ability. It is therefore both unseemly and unproductive to irritate the situation by making an effort. If you have a burning, restless urge to write or paint, simply eat something sweet and the feeling will pass." – Fran Lebowitz

Northeast Regional Report By Christina Martinez

Regional Report North East
ow, it is officially winter! I don’t know about anyone else, but this year has been so fun and gone by super fast here in the Northeastern part of Colorado. Last issue, I talked about a project that many of the school districts in the area are participating in called The Northeast Consortium for Students Achievement and Growth. This project has moved from just talk into realization and we have begun meeting as art teachers. Our first task was to identify a unit that all the art teachers could teach and assess in their classrooms. This is the place where the real work began. The Art Education group agreed on a fifth-grade unit in the Colorado Sample Curriculum called “Creative Process.” We all use this process every day in art and agreed the Creative Process unit would be a great starting point. We started out by identifying what we thought the creative process was. Then we came to an idea about how to assess the creative process that we had identified. At first, we thought that a rubric would be the best way to assess mastery of this task. At some point during our conversation, we started leaning towards short-answer and short-essay questions about the students’ process. Here are the questions we thought of:
C O L L A G E

Art Assessment of Fifth-Grade Creative Process 1. Final project and preliminary studies artifact documented 2. Describe initial intent 3. Describe final product 4. Analyze revisions and reflections of artwork 5. Reflect on the insights gained • Concept • Creativity • Craftsmanship • Communication
19
We thought the responses to this assessment would really give us a great idea about whether the students had really used and grasped the creative process. Then an administrator chimed in with a valid point about how we needed to create some way of grading these responses in a nonsubjective manner. The group then looked at creating a rubric to grade the questions. I have been to some writing workshops and it sounded to me as though we were starting to lean towards grading students’ writing or speech and not their art. After a pretty healthy debate about what we should do, we decided to give the questions to the students as a written assessment on the project they were currently working on and bring back the written responses to decide as a group how to assess the answers. This will work to our advantage because it was the end of the day and we were starting to talk in circles. Tune in next issue to see how it went. I would love feedback if anyone has something they have tried or thought about trying or just has thoughts or comments. You can reach me at martinezch@hcosd.org.

Presently here are the guidelines for the exhibition:
CAEA Members Art Exhibit 2014 “Expanding the Possibilities”
• The 2014 exhibit will be a project/process oriented show. Throughout the process there will be some suggestions to insert and add to your work as you are developing it. • All participants must be an active member of CAEA (paid your membership fee thru 2014). • All completed work submitted will be shown in the exhibition (with no jurying, no awards, no tests and no free lunch) • A minimal charge (TBD) will be levied depending on the venue of the exhibition. • Only one work for the exhibition per participant. The work may be made up of several pieces but can not exceed the basic background size. • 2-Dimensional work must be at least 12”x18” and can not exceed 24” x 24” (includes frame). All 2-Dimensional work must weigh less than 10lbs (including frame). 3-Dimensional work must be at least 12” in height length and can not exceed 24” in height or length. 3-Dimensional work must be accompanied by a pedestal or hanging support with instructions. • We at the CAEA want you to do some thinking. Most of the making of art is thinking and planning, then making. If you are interested in getting started here are some of the exhibitionʼs first suggestions.

Suggested Process #1 Think about starting with a size that is much larger than the sizes listed above. Then you can crop/take out the portion you want to use when it's time to finish your work. If there is a portion in the cropped/taken out part you want to use, just cut it back in and make it work. Think about gluing, taping, stapling, sewing, using pop rivets, or other creative ways of re attaching work. Suggested Process #2 Think about color. Try using colors your not used to using. As an example: “ugly colors” (ones that are really neutralized by their complements), colors with lots of white in it (high value) or color with lots of black (low value). REGISTER AND START WORKING, MORE PROJECT/PROCESS SUGGESTIONS TO COME...
