Roxanne Holonitch, St. Joseph Montessori School, [email protected]

I have been a member of OAEA for over 10 years

now, and am finally putting the “active” part of my

membership to work.

I am the Art Specialist at St. Joseph MontessoriSchool in Italian Village, near downtown Columbus.

One of my art passions is painting outhouses, as you

can see from my sample. It connects me to my rural

childhood.

I am very excited to be part of Team OAEA!

Wow! Did we ever have a great time at COAEA

Summer Institute. To be able to share time devot-

ed to great professional development activities with

great teachers and friends was a special time. Kirk-

mont Camp was a beautiful setting for this event

with its comfortable lodge and many nature trails.I was privileged to share nature drawing ideas and

techniques in a class I taught. I enjoyed getting to

know and share ideas with educators new to me.

One of the most valuable experiences is sharing

teaching techniques with gifted teachers. Another

plus to this experience was the great food and shar-

ing meals together. This is a new and great op-

portunity for camaraderie and professional growth.

Make plans to attend next year.

r egional directors report

c o a e a

Welcome back to your classrooms. How many times during the month of August were you asked “Are you ready

to go back to school?” Did you ever really leave school? We physically leave our classrooms for a while, yet our

minds continue to focus on our classrooms and students as we take our summer break. Whether you were on a

vacation, took a class yourself, or were simply enjoying nature on a walk or in your backyard, you were sure to be

inspired to teach new lessons this year to your students. As art teachers and visual people, we are constantly being

inspired to teach new material. It is easy to find new lessons to teach, the dif ficult part is finding enough time to

teach all of the amazing lessons that we discover. Best wishes as you decipher what curriculum and media bes

fit you and your students this school year.

As you make the decisions concerning curriculum and art lessons, think very hard about how you can showcase

your students, their art, and the happenings in your classroom. To the community, parents, administration, staffand others, point out ways that your lessons cross other curricular areas. Share the experiences and passion tha

your students have about art with others. We must take time to share the positive affects that art has on the stu

dents in our school systems. Make it a priority to advocate for your art program more than ever this year. Create

monthly goals for how you can advocate the visual arts in Ohio. Don’t wait until your spring art show or YAM

(Youth Art Month) to showcase your students and their art. We must make this a year round topic and priority.

If you work with or are friends with art teachers whom are not members of the Ohio Art Education Association,

please encourage them to join our organization. It is essential that we support one another and promote art educa

tion in Ohio’s schools.

We wish you the very best as you begin the 2011-2012 school year. Wipe the dust off the paper cutter, pick ou

the paints, fire up that kiln, and have a marvelous time with your students this year! We appreciate all that you do

to make art programs in central Ohio shine!

Fostering Artistic Thinking: Develop CraftDr. Camilla McComb

The most common question students ask as they enter my art room is; what are we going to make?

The act of making personally relevant artwork, however, is far more complex and interesting than

following a prescribed set of instructions. To better facilitate artistic thinking, I have found it ben-

eficial to introduce students to the Studio Habits of Mind (SHoM),[1] which include: Develop craft,

envision, observe, connect, stretch and explore, engage and persist, express, and reflect.

My doctoral dissertation focused upon sixth graders ability to document their own artistic thinking.

The yearlong study revealed that the SHoM facilitate artistic discussion; that students value differentaspects of the studio process; and that students can identify and express their artistic needs.[2] For

example, students demonstrate their ability to develop craft when they:

* Know how to use tools & materials

* Know how to take care of tools & materials

* Know what they can and cannot do with tools & materials

* Use elements & principles of design in a mindful way

Focusing on the craft of art making helps students to realize that it is only one aspect of making

meaningful artwork.

ing practice consider writing an article for the COAEA newsletter. We’d like to feature the following habit in

our next issue: Engage & Persist: Learning to embrace problems of relevance within the art world and/or of per-

sonal importance, to develop focus and other mental states conductive to working and persevering at art tasks.

Share with your colleagues examples of developing this habit in your students. Pictures are welcome too. Send

Jeremy Miller

Fayette County ChairSummer travel and my New Leadership Role

My name is Jeremy Miller. I am the Fayette county con-

tact for Central region OAEA. After hosting a wonder-

ful spring OAEA gathering at Fayette Art in Washington

Court House, I left in June for a 7-day cruise to Costa

Maya, Belize, Roatan, and Cozumel. I traveled from

New Orleans on the Norwegian Spirit. The most beautiful

place was Roatan, Honduras, where I snorkeled and kay-aked. However, I was so inspired by the natural beauty

of Costa Maya, Mexico that I slapped some gesso over an

old, large Ikea print on board, and painted Costa Maya.

I included the picture I took of Costa Maya, as well as

the painting I completed. I look forward to a new schoo

year. I am now the President of Washington Education

Association in my school district, but unfortunately, our

contract was implemented by the board. I have a lot ofwork to do as we are now in crisis mode, but we still have

5 art teachers in the district. I look forward to seeing ev-

eryone at the conference in Dayton this November!

This summer I attended the International Folk Art Market in Santa Fe. Iwent as part of the Crizmac/School Arts group headed by the founder of Crizmac, Stevie Mack and the editor of School Arts Nancy Walkup. Over 30 teachers from across the country attended the seminar. As part of theexperience, we had an overview of Folk Art, hands on activities, and a visit

from a quilter from Pakistan. We had the opportunity to attend the eventkick off and meet some of the artists. We had passes to attend both days of

the festival on July 9th and 10th. Over 150 folk artists traveled from the farthest corners of the globe to participate in the Santa Fe International Folk

Art Market. Some of the art-ists left their villages andboarded planes for the very

first time. Many came fromdeveloping countries where theaverage income is less than $3a day and where overwhelming

political, social, and environ-mental challenges can makeeveryday life—not to mention

the creation of art—a strug-gle. I had the opportunity tomeet several artists and buy aquilt from Pakistan, a metalrelief sculpture from Haiti, a

tin tooling sculpture from Ke-nya, and ceramic sculpture

from Mexico. I really enjoyedmeeting the artists and hear-

ing their stories. I hope to sharemany of the artworks, photos,and stories with my students

s tudent success! Sargent Art awarded 47 people from 13 states a trip to New York! The Ohio winner, Micaela Bartram, daughter of Paula Bartram of Laurelville, a freshman at Logan

Elm High School was an eighth grade student at McDowell Exchange when she was awarded the trip. Micaela’s junior high art teacher, Mrs. Robyn Helsel is a member

of the Ohio Art Education Association.

The 2011 winning artists represented Elementary, Junior High/Middle and High school grade levels and were from Alabama, Iowa, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Mary-

land, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, Pennsylvania Tennessee, West Virginia and California! Each state winner, one parent and the winner’s art teacher was awarded an all

expenses paid trip to New York City.

Since 2008 Sargent Art has partnered with the Art Education Association of various states to sponsor the Youth Art Month (YAM) activities in each state. All entrant

submissions are coordinated through the participating school art educators under the guidance and guidelines of each association which premiered the program. 2011 is

the fourth consecutive year that Sargent Art has sponsored this YAM Contest. This year’s talented and inspiring group visited Art Museums and took in famous sights

of New York, including the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, Top-of-the-Rockefeller Center, Times Square, and they were also treated to the Broadway Show The Lion

King.

In 2009 Sargent Art responded to the requests of art educators from other states to be included in this Contest and created an Online Art Contest for which entrantsubmissions were invited from school art educators from all 50 states in the form of digital photographs to be submitted directly on the website – www.sargentart.

com<http://www.sargentart.com/>.

The group that converged in New York in July of 2011 included state winners from the Youth Art Month events as well as the 2011 national Online winner.

“Teachers in general and art teachers in particular are among the many unsung heroes of our times,” said Sargent Art spokesperson Bhakti Oza in explaining why her

company supports the program. “This endeavor is a salute to the dedication of art teachers who inspire and educate with the help of the most innovative techniques and

tools – oftentimes using their own means to go above and beyond the call of duty.”

LaineGabriel’s Principal, Lisa Laine Miller, began her journey as an artist struggling to make ends meet. Unbelievably, two of her high school art teachers personally

contributed to her first college courses and the inspiration for the future Tenfold Initiative was born.

LaineGabriel Principals, Lisa Laine Miller and James Gabriel Brown, were inspired to create The Tenfold Initiative to honor the dedicated teachers and mentors in their

lives. Particularly, Lisa’s own high school art teacher, Jan Dewey, who leaves an everlasting impact nearly 20 years later.

The Tenfold Initiative’s first endeavor was to award a central Ohio high school graduate a $1500 scholarship. The experience was a humbling whirlwind as an astound-

ing amount of interest was shown for the scholarship. Jan Dewey served as one of four judges and after three hours of deliberation, the first Tenfold scholarship winner

was chosen. Lisa reminisced with her high school art teacher as they glanced at the next generation of artistic talent.

LaineGabriel’s principal, Lisa Laine Miller, states, “The applicants for the scholarship exhibited such talent and initiative. We could not be more thrilled with the re-

sponse, and the future talent for our industry. This initiative is our way of extending our creative partnerships beyond the workplace and into the classroom.” LaineGa-

briel is pleased to have the opportunity to pay back the generosity shown by teachers, such as Jan, everywhere, and pay it forward – Tenfold.
