Hello Colleagues,

Thought you’d appreciate this useful arts education information from the National Endowment for the Arts.

Subject: arts education info & resources from the Natl Endow for the Arts

 

Greetings from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) where arts education is an integral part of the agency's funding, content development, and research portfolio. As someone who covers and/or is involved in education, I thought you would appreciate the following information and free resources.

 

Following are samples from the NEA’s cache of podcasts, artist interviews, research reports, and convenings related to arts education as well as news from our arts education office.

 

ON THE NEWS FRONT

·         On November 27, NEA announced the awarding of 831 grants totaling $23.3 million. Included among those are 70 arts education grants totaling more than $2 million.

 

·         And just the week before, we announced the Education Leaders Institute Alumni Summit taking place December 12 in Chicago. We are looking forward to some great conversations and to generating ideas and making plans for moving forward.

 

·         First Lady Honors National Arts and Humanities Youth Program (NAHYP) Award Recipients. NAHYP is a program of the National Endowment for the Arts, the National Endowment for the Humanities and the President's Committee on the Arts and Humanities.

o   Art Works blog posts spotlighting NAHYP award recipients

§  Dreaming Big at an Early Age

§  Connecting Cultures

 

·         NEA Chairman Rocco Landesman announced a new strategy for arts education at the NEA at the national forum of the Arts Education Partnership. His speech is here.

 

 

FUNDING OPPORTUNITY

 

Shakespeare in American Communities (SiAC) is a national theater program of the National Endowment for the Arts in cooperation with Arts Midwest bringing performances and educational activities to audiences across the country. SiAC is now accepting proposals for programming taking place between August 1, 2013 and July 30, 2014. Important dates are:

·         Optional intent to apply email: On or before January 16, 2013 (not required or binding)
Application deadline: February 21, 2013

 

 

FREE CONTENT

 

·         Art Works Podcast: Bonnie Fogel of Imagination Stage

Meet Bonnie Fogel, founder and executive director of Imagination Stage, a multi-disciplinary theater arts organization for young people and their families.

 

·         Art Works blog: Taking Note: Skills + Knowledge = 21st-Century Competencies

Reflections by NEA Director of Research and Analysis Sunil Iyengar prompted by his reading of the National Academies’ new report, Education for Life and Work: Developing Transferable Knowledge and Skills in the 21st Century.

 

 

WORLD OF RESEARCH

 

·         The Arts and Achievement in At-Risk Youth: Findings from Four Longitudinal Studies

This report examines arts-related variables from four large datasets -- three maintained by the U.S. Department of Education and one by the Department of Labor -- to understand the relationship between arts engagement and positive academic and social outcomes in children and young adults of low socioeconomic status (SES).

 

·         As many of you know, the NEA published The Arts and Human Development: Framing a National Research Agenda for the Arts, Lifelong Learning, and Individual Well-Being in November 2011. Over the next year, the NEA convened a series of webinars including:

 

o   Interagency Task Force on the Arts and Human Development: September 19, 2012 Webinar

The September 19, 2012, Task Force webinar focused on the question "Can the arts play a role in transforming struggling schools and improving student outcomes?"

 

o   Interagency Task Force on the Arts and Human Development: August 1, 2012 Webinar

The August 1, 2012, Task Force webinar focused on how arts educators can reach youth who are immersed in today's interconnected, multimedia environment.

You might try a hot glue gun. If supervised by an adult. Or string/pipe cleaners might work best.

Hi Anita,

What if you used those little gold paper fasteners between each of the cartons? You would have to use an awl or something pointed to start a pilot hole for the fastener and may require more than one on the larger boxes but it may be a bit more reliable than tape and not require drying time like glue.

If you could do it prior to the kids decorating the boxes (which would be way easier on you  :-) ) it would save some hassle.  Perhaps the kids or their parents could do the holes at home?

Just a thought, brainstorming as I type...:)

Good luck with the project..sounds fun!

To join two pieces of light cardboard, why not cut a strip of paper (nice and straight), fold in half so it makes a right angle, and glue one side to one cardboard, one to another?

Members,

Another spam was posted to the group. I always delete the member and the post
from the group's homepage but once it is posted, it is sent to all the members.

I have posted this before, but I have the option of moderating the group. The
big disadvantage to this is that I have to approve all posts. Because I have
other things I do, that means I may not get to approving the posts for hours or
even up to 2-3 days in some cases. If I get a lot of members still want to go
the moderated route so we don't have to read these ridiculous spams, I will
change the settings. Otherwise I hope you will have tolerance of the occasional
spam.

Preschool has been added to my K-6 art teaching position this year.  I am trying
to come up with a clay project that can be fired in the kiln for them.  I
already do pinch pots with kindergarten.  I need something that would not
require scoring and slipping and that the kids could work on somewhat
independently.  I really would like to do something besides a hand print, but
have not found any other ideas!  Please help!

What about a melted snowman? They could roll out a shape, form it into an organic outline like a puddle, then draw in the eyes, carrot, etc? You could even get little sticks to glue on after.

We did tree faces one year in clay, and it requires no slipping. (or doesn't
have to.) The only danger is if they poke too deeply and then cover it up.
Here's the artsonia page.  (We only put up one small class. I don't always get
all my classes up :)

I did leaf bowls with our pre-K.

We took large leaves, they pressed them into the clay cut around them with
plastic knives or Popsicle sticks. We placed them over a Styrofoam bowl to air
dry before firing. You can peel the leaf off or leave it on. When you fire it,
it will burn away.

So we here at my school are attempting to reach across the various subject areas
and come up with ideas for  class projects that will require more of the four
"C's" (creativity, critical thinking, communication, and collaboration) and DOK
(depth of knowledge).  We are attempting to prepare the students for the new
assessment testing that is around the corner.   It will involve more "project
based" assignments.  Soon  the days of bubbling in the answer will be gone.  I
think that this is great news for art classes and art teachers.  I'm already
getting many requests for creative ideas from other teachers.  We as artist and
art teachers sometimes take for granted the fact that we really do think in a
creative manner.  This can be difficult for others not accustomed to the
"creative process"
   I'm currently attempting to Create projects that will incorporate many other
subject areas.  One example is for the students to learn one point perspective,
create a drawing of the interior of a living room that is tiled.  They must also
figure out how much tile was used, the cost, factor in percentage of waste
etc.etc.   I want to support the other disciplines without sacrificing ART FOR
ART'S SAKE.

HAS ANYONE OUT THERE BEEN WORKING ON SIMILAR PROJECTS.  If so,  can we share

I did leaf bowls with our pre-K.

We took large leaves, they pressed them into the clay cut around them with plastic knives or Popsicle sticks. We placed them over a Styrofoam bowl to air dry before firing. You can peel the leaf off or leave it on. When you fire it, it will burn away.

My middle school is using the curriculum from Future City (Future City.org) as
an school wide project. I think it would be a good project from 5th to 10th
grade, even though it's written for 6th to 8th grade; it would be easy enough to
adapt. The curriculum is free, but to enter it would be $25 for an entire
school! No matter how classes/teams enter the final competition.  A lot of
states don't have a competition, or have just one that may not be convenient to
you, so I'm not sure how practical entering this would be, but it is a FABULOUS
cross curriculum project!
  It was our intention to enter the contest, but the one in Va went belly up this
year (after 8 years of existence.) so we decided to continue on with our project
and work in another science class- CSI. The kids will finish making the model,
and then use their scale city to help prove a series of small crimes. (The clue
may be "the witness saw the bank robber as he was coming out the Starbucks", but
the model will prove that the there is no Starbucks near the bank and so the
witness is lying- but why?!)
     This was a HUGE project! It involved time from the science and English
teachers (could have involved the math teacher, but she was not willing to
participate.). The biggest issue I had (as with all cross curriculum projects)
is not in getting fellow teachers who say they will be involved and having
enthusiasm for the idea of the project, it's actually getting them to write the
time into their syllabi for their section of the project to happen. There will
have to be more summer pre-planning, and I will have to be more clear on my end
that the English portion of this project is the English teacher's domain, and
the science teacher isn't getting a prewrittten curriculum from me to do her
part, she's getting a final rubric by which the students will be graded. The
science teacher felt the more put upon by this project than the English teacher.
I feel more support by the admin. would have been helpful to allow her to cut
some of her current program to inject this project's science needs in there. As
it stands, she felt this was just one more thing she had to add to her students
plate. She was vocal about how hard this was and how she felt about the
additional work, for both her and the students. And it was a legitimate
complaint the way it went down this year.
       So there were some pretty significant bumps in the road to my first 4C
project that I hope to learn from and avoid in the future. Mostly, have a
diagram written out for each member of the "team", Have them sign off on it as
soon as it's created- hopefully with plenty of time to adjust their syllabi for
the new year. Give them support, make sure they have support of the admin, give
gentle & kind reminders as their portion of the project nears. I assumed a lot
about this joint effort that I will not assume for future endeavors! All in all,
the final result, which nearly it's conclusion, is amazing.  I'm so proud about
what the kids have learned about city planning, the environmental concerns they
are bringing up, the creativity of their model and concepts for their industries
and universities.  It has been a challenge to make it happen, but I have to say
it's been worth it.
Good luck finding a project (and making it happen!)

1st graders lead an art service project to make Heart Houses to raise money for
Super Storm Sandy victims. We sold the first 200 to our school community and now
would like to offer them to anyone else who might want to have a lovely
hand-made heart house and help others at the same time.
I set up a page on my website where you can see the video of my students making
the houses then browse the choices. You can  select a house and purchase it
through PayPal. I'll ship it ASAP.

Greetings Art Educators,

Calling out now for the NEXT Tip In Exchange. It will be a single page front and back (both side with art) as the MINIMUM.
All of you who have done pages with me know that the number of pages I do depends on my final IDEA.

All I can tell you NOW is the theme (your choice)
"When Pigs Fly" (Make the impossible happen -- in YOUR own way!)
"Be Careful What You Wish For" (Sometimes the impossible DOES happen in odd ways).

So far, only Robert Genn (from Painters' Pallet? Weekly Art Letter author knows why I chose both themes as choices. He will get one of my pages as a gift -- but I have another gift to get ready for him first).

All I can tell you NOW is the mail to date is to be determined.

I don't even know for sure who is the HOST - Me or Ronda. It just depends on the mail to date. I am the only one of use who can be more flexible and Ronda knows what I mean by that.

Wishing you all a JOYOUS NEW YEAR!

Judy Decker

Send Email Send Email
 
Greetings All,

For all members who want to know what a "Tip In" is - or who have
never participated before, please sign up for a Yahoo Group (listed
below). I only posted now to see if Getty list members were following
my own rule and Getty's own rules - to not post email addresses to
list. I know it is an accident most of the time, however, Getty's own
STAFF still replies to the list when they are away from the the office
- and posts all email addresses when they do. I easily forgive people
I KNOW who do it by accident.

I am not posting any art sharing Tip In experiences to Getty list
again, however, I DO have one post about sharing ideas that is
IMPORTANT. I don't even think that former list member even "listens"
to Getty TeacherArtExchange anymore? I find him on TAB list (Teaching
for Artistic Behavior). I have learned so much from him on how to be a
better art teacher. I didn't know him until the end of my art teaching
career. He is a real "gem".  Yes, I did meet him on Getty list when it
was ArtsEdNet (? - something like that).

Also, If any one really wants "smart" goals, sign up for TAB Yahoo
List and listen before you ask questions - look in their list archives
and file section ....Sending to the other lists as well as I don't
remember which group asked the questions now.....
I need to know more what you mean by "smart" goals to answer how to
set them for any grade level. I am sure "smart" goals stands for
something that begins with S-M-A-R-T..... (Science? Math? Art?
Reading? Technology?) ... I have sort of lost the vocabulary. I need a
refresher course.

Yes, I do have enough participants already who WANT to participate
again in a Tip In. The exchange isn't until SUMMER 2013. I just wanted
to know if members were still interested in having another exchange.
ALL who have signed up in the past, WILL get personal emails from me
before the exchange begins. All who replied with interest who have not
done it before know where to sign up to find more information later
(ArtsEducators Yahoo and/or Art Education Yahoo). TAB Yahoo members
all already know where to find information. This time, I am only
organizing the exchange and I will be turning it over to someone else
to be host. She will set the end mail date and will have to be more
firm than I was. We now only do FIVE pages to be mailed - and we keep
one for ourselves (so a total of six pages). Each participant then
gets five different pages returned. We mail back PRIORITY MAIL only
now, so you have to send a PAID for Priority Stamp.

Regards,

Judy Decker
Retired since 2001 from teaching art - but never retired 100% from teaching.
I guess I will always be some kind of teacher?

P.S. Please accept my apology - as I am sure something I wrote may
have offended someone (smile).  I never offend people on purpose. All
I can do is apologize in advance now. I just got done writing my own
"smart" goals - but they have nothing to do with teaching art. I have
18 to list - but I need to re-write them in proper order. Actually 18
is way too many for me. So I am putting number 1 and number 2 in the
right order first. I can not post them to the list as I have already
posted them before and people did not like my goals, so I learned that
lesson.
