Vicky, Ricky & Paige
• Mobile MEGA Session Description
A university art educator with a degree in instructional design, an art educator/inspirational speaker who is also a blind artist with a degree in rehabilitation counseling, and an art specialist for a school system with degrees in art education and special education share their experiences, "ah-ha" moments, collaborative efforts, and inspirational arts ideas for their mutual passion of opening doors for diverse populations (including autistic, ESL, and visually impaired students). Through the senses and elements of visual art, the diverse group of educators will demonstrate strategies, organizational methods and share lesson ideas. Elements of art and principles of design are used as a framework to share practical methods; finger-painting is icing on the cake.

Touch: “I’m pouring warm water on your head. Do you feel the wet water?”Sight: “Do you see the bird in the tree?” “Where do you see a squirrel? Oh, I see the squirrel on the fence.”Smell: “Would you like to smell this flower? Mmmm, it smells sweet.”Taste: “I think you like the lemon. Ooh, is it sour?”Sound: “Do you hear the airplane? What sound does it make? Woooooosh.”

Learning Is Multi-Sensory
Learning Is Multi-Sensory: How To Engage All The Senses So Children Really Benefit “Studies have shown that we rely heavily on our senses to process information when learning and engaging more than one sense when teaching can help information processing. Using multiple senses allows more cognitive connections and associations to be made with a concept.”
• http://www.howtolearn.com/2012/12/learning-is-multi-sensory-how-to-engage-all-the-senses-so-children-really-benefit/
Engaging the Five Senses to Learn About Our World “The outside world shapes children’s development through experiences that they have, which include using their five senses—hearing, sight, smell, taste, and touch. Drawing a child’s attention to the five senses and discussing them increases understanding of and communication about the world around us.”

Lulu's Homeport Marina
In the Fall of 2005 Lucy Buffett, owner of Lulu's Homeport Marina in Gulf Shores, AL, was approached in a grocery store by Baldwin County Public Schools' first Fine Arts Supervisor, Vicky Nix Cook, to consider adopting the K-12 fine arts as a Partner in Education. Buffett, the sister of the famous singer Jimmy Buffett, and her restaurant manager, Johnny Fisher did not hesitate to take on the challenge. Together they have created several annual and ongoing projects to maintain support for arts education in Baldwin County. A few of the many successful ventures by Lulu's include a cookbook- Crazy Sista Cookbook, the Art Fresh Market, and underwriting the AL Shakespeare Play of Gee's Bend performed in Baldwin County.
One of the first projects Cook used the Lulu's funding for included facilitating blind artist, Ricky Trione’s presentations in classrooms. Buffett's dedication to and confidence in the Baldwin County Public School Fine Arts Department has led to a hugely successful partnership with Ricky Trione by the BCPS system to provide art and character education experiences to all k-12 students. Since the first grocery store encounter, the initial donation of $500 has blossomed into approximately $60,000.
It is essential to establish local support for the arts from individuals such as Lucy Buffett to encourage others to support the school arts programs.
Baldwin County Public School Fine Arts appreciates Lulu's! http://www.lulusathomeport.com/index.php
