Nancy Puri President, FAEA

President’s REFLECTION Greetings! The new school year has begun, and I am hoping that all of you are energized and ready for the great things this year will bring. We are excited about conference, our theme this year is “Art Colors Our World, Make Your Mark!” I am so glad you are here, ready to learn, grow, recharge, and find inspiration to bring to your world.

FAEA has been busy getting ready for this year’s Annual Conference in Ponte Vedra and we have so many great things planned for you. We have great keynotes this year, with more convenient times. These working artists will talk about their journey, their art, and how they have found success in the art world. Check out the article featuring Nancy Silberkeit and Herb Weaver here in Fresh Paint on page 29.

In addition to these things, we have something new for this year! I am really looking forward to this event, and I know you will be, too. In response to your requests and feedback, we have created a hands-on art making event on Saturday evening just for you! We are calling this the “Paint Your Heart Out” event and it will be held in the large ballroom space in the Conference Center. We will provide art supplies for you to make art with your friends (new and old) and also have the opportunity to work with Keynote Speaker Herb Weaver who is a 3D artist. You can check him out at

www.herbweaverworks.com. We will also provide great munchies and a cash bar to feed your creative juices. We are holding this event immediately following the Artist Bazaar which is something we all look forward to each year.

You may be wondering what has happened to the traditional Gala event we usually offer. Due to higher costs, Gala is simply too expensive. In addition, many of you have been asking for something new and different. “Paint Your Heart Out” is both new and easier on the wallet!

Thank you for all of what each of you do to support arts education, your students, and each other. I am very grateful for the opportunity to serve you as President of FAEA and to be a part of the great work happening in arts education in Florida. I look forward to seeing you at Conference!

Nancy G. Puri President

FAEA board of directors President Nancy Puri Polk County President-Elect Latonya Hicks Pinellas County

Greetings FAEA family!

For me, the end of anything or change always brings on a series of mixed emotions making equal amounts of excitement and trepidation constant companions. So many times I did not feel seasoned enough, knowledgeable enough, articulate enough, and on and on. It reminds me of my response “Keep going!” when students ask, “Is this good enough?”

During my time as President-elect, I have constantly been reminded by you that “Together we are stronger.” We are enough! The current FAEA Board of Directors are wrapping up their two years of service and preparing to pass the baton to the incoming board. They have devoted their time, emotions, ideas, strengths, and energy to the FAEA legacy, proving over and over what we can do together. Each member was a necessary member, and we will be the beneficiaries of their accomplishments for years to come. Much like those that came before, many will continue to give back and it is my sincerest hope that you will join us. There are so many opportunities shaped for your specific strengths in this organization.

Come as you are and together we will work to uplift and retire “enough.”

Thank you so much in advance for what we will do together and the opportunity you have given me to be your leader.

Warm Greetings and Welcome to the FAEA Conference!

As the President of the Northeast Florida Art Educator Association, I am thrilled to extend my heartfelt welcome to every one of you in our creative community of art educators to Northeast Florida. It is with great pleasure that we embark on another exciting journey of nurturing creativity, inspiring minds, and shaping the future through the transformative power of art education.

Your dedication to fostering a passion for the arts in our students is both commendable and invaluable. The arts have the unique ability to transcend barriers, provoke thought, and enrich lives in ways that few other disciplines can. It is through your commitment and expertise that we can unlock the full potential of our students, encouraging them to explore their imagination, develop critical thinking skills, and embrace diversity.

At this conference, we have an array of exciting events, workshops, and collaborative opportunities planned to enhance your professional growth and to facilitate meaningful connections among fellow educators.

We hope you enjoy the beauty that Northeast Florida has to offer and this opportunity to connect with your fellow art educators. We encourage you to share your experiences, insights, and success stories. Your unique perspectives are what make our collective journey so enriching, and by collaborating and learning from one another, we can create an environment of continuous growth and inspiration.

Let us, together, ignite the spark of imagination and guide our students towards a future enriched by the wonders of art.

HeARTfully yours,

Sunni Myers President of Northeast Florida Art Educator Association Elementary Art Educator

Division Updates

Middle School Division Division Director

Elementary School Division Division Director

Christie Becker-Fitzgerald Sandhill Elementary School Polk County “Tis the season to thank you for all you have done. It takes a lot to spark so many minds and you have done a wonderful job inspiring me while I refine the expression in my art.” ­—Unknown By now you have returned to school and are in full swing.

This year the FAEA Annual Conference is early ... October 5-8 and will be set up a little differently due to the venue. I encourage you to come and experience what FAEA has to offer you. If you know of any teachers that are not members, please extend an invitation to this event. You know they won’t regret it! This is your time to network, meet with old and new friends, experience some new and creative ways to teach art, and hopefully get those professional development points you need for your certification. This is our (Visual Art) big event and is important for your growth as a teacher.

Another thing you may have noticed in your school or district is the increasing concerns about the mental health of our students and staff. Recently, my district (Polk) has designated a second guidance counselor for all our schools. If you are like us, then you had special training too. It is also important to remember that the arts provide a haven for our students to express themselves. We, as art teachers, give them the opportunity and the tools to have a voice. So much is going on in our world and their feelings need to be recognized. You have the ability and the empathy to help them through art. Now I may be preaching to the choir and this is something that you already recognize…. you are a part of their healing process!

Did you know that this is a voting year for the Board of FAEA? With that said I want to thank all of you for the wonderful experience I have had being your cheerleader and Director of Elementary Art. As my directorship ends, I encourage you all to attend the Elementary Division Meeting. You will have the opportunity to meet the candidates that are running for the position of Elementary Division Director. Your involvement is so very important. Your presence will also give me one more opportunity to meet with you all and share important information with you, as well as make some art.

I look forward to seeing you in October. Until then fluff your tutu and straighten that crown.

Heather Hagy Sebastian Middle School St. Johns County Hello Middle School Art Teachers! How did the summer go by so fast?!? I hope you found a way to fill your cup and be ready for the 2023-24 school year. I made art, traveled a little, and SLEPT A LOT. I was talking to a friend who is going to teach middle school for the first time, and she asked what I do the first week of school. In my class, we make our sketchbooks, along with a “license plate” cover that includes their name, a personal slogan or motto, favorite number, and interests. It is a way to connect with students without making them introduce themselves to the whole class. Also, the 6th graders feel so grown up when I let them use a hammer and awl! If you aren’t using daily sketchbook prompts, I understand because it took me a few years to get on board, but man, getting there has made life better. The kids know what they need to do as soon as they walk in the door. The prompt is on the board using a Canva slide. I have a moment to breathe, prepare, and sip my tea. Everyone wins.

I also have the Aretha Franklin talk about respect—for ourselves, each other, and the work we do here. My plan includes being kind and firm and funny. I want them to feel that I respect them and that we are all here to support each other as we learn in “The Best Art Room Ever!” (I also teach the kids to answer my phone saying “Best Art Room Ever”and they love it.)

My book binding lesson, along with countless others I use EVERY SINGLE YEAR, come from the FAEA conference. Please talk to your administration, School Advisory Council, and PTO about helping you attend. Being with other art teachers and sharing in the excitement and dilemmas of teaching art makes you stronger. And for Pete’s sake, you teach a lot of kids! Investing in the Art Program of a school impacts hundreds of students! Please don’t be shy, advocate for yourself like you would for your students.

I look forward to seeing you at FAEA2023! Peace, Love & ART!

Division Updates

Supervision/Administration Division Director

Higher Education Division Director

Dr. Heidi Powell University of Florida Alachua County First, Happy Fall and welcome to this year’s FAEA Conference and we are so excited you are here!! I hope you take this time to connect and share stories, have fun sharing and learning, and vote in the Board elections signaling new and exciting change. I want to thank everyone in the Higher Education Division for participating in leading and supporting students, pre-service teachers, graduate students, and in-service teachers here in Florida. I also want to thank graduate students, presenters, and attendees for always making it such a wonderful experience. You all are AMAZING, and I am glad to be a part of this division and organization with you. The cycle of learning and sharing here at FAEA is transformational. We are always growing so much as art educators, which in turn made me think I should share some artist residencies and scholar opportunities that would complement what we do here at FAEA and our studio practices.

Internationally, the Fulbright (for academics, graduate students, and those in K-12). A few opportunities outside of Florida: Penland (NC, for all), Winter Resident Artist Program at The Bascom (NC, for all), Anderson Center for Interdisciplinary Studies (MN, artists and scholars), Anderson Ranch Arts Center (CO, for all), The Archie Bray (MT, ceramics), Joshua Tree National Park (CA, for all), and Artcroft Center (KY, for all). And of course, a few local Florida artist residencies which support what we do here: FAAE and the Hermitage’s STAR: State Teacher/Artist Residency (opens January) for those art educators in K-12, Conservation Foundation of the Gulf Coast Artist Residency (for all), The Fountainhead Artist Residency (for all), the Atlantic Center for the Arts Artist Residency (for all), and Escape2Create (for artists with a mission to participate in outreach). I hope this list is helpful to complement your studio practice, as we nurture our art educator selves here at FAEA. I wish you all a happy Fall semester!

Jonathan Ogle Pinellas County Schools Pinellas County I hope you had a joyful summer and are as enthusiastic about the new school year as I am! The great ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle once said, “Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all.” As a leader in the arts, your work is vital to many minds and hearts – teachers, students, their families, colleagues, school and district leaders, as well as community partners and members.

We ceaselessly work to advocate and expand access to the arts in our schools and communities because we know art is genuinely at the heART of it all.

The 2023 FAEA State Professional Development Conference is approaching quickly this fall. It will be held at the spectacular Sawgrass Marriott Golf Resort & Spa in Ponte Vedra Beach from October 5-8. Please encourage your teachers to register and get their hotel rooms soon (they will fill up fast). Your FAEA Board is working hard and eagerly looking forward to this year’s conference because over 150 quality sessions, workshops, and other professional development opportunities will be available to attending members from across our state.

This year’s theme is “Art Colors Our World: Make Your Mark.” There will be several new “happenings” (like the “Paint Your Heart Out” Saturday night event!) that you and your teachers will be invited to attend. From fantastic keynote speakers to hands-on workshops and informative sessions, as well as the latest news impacting our professional field, this year’s state conference is lining up to be one of the best. And, if your teachers may be wondering what to wear to the conference, let them know they can order their official conference shirts and other swag right now through FAEA’s website.

As we get further into the school year, look for details to come from FAEA about the 2024 K-12 Student Art Assessment & Virtual Exhibition and the Youth Art Month design competition. Encourage your art teachers to submit their entries to this state-wide competition because it is an excellent opportunity to showcase their students’ amazing artwork and gain valuable feedback on their teaching practice. I look forward to seeing you at our annual FAEA Supervision/Administration Meeting and Breakfast at the conference!

Local Art Education Assembly Division Director Christy Garton Orange County Public Schools Orange County Welcome back! Hopefully, you took time this summer to connect with your family and friends, travel, relax, and make some art. The FAEA summer workshops were a huge success. Thank you to all of the LAEAs across the state who sponsored workshops in their areas.

The beginning of the school year is a great time to think about how your Local Art Education Association can build membership and plan programming to keep your members excited all year.

Membership drives can help build membership. Encourage your current members to bring a friend to your next event.

• Listen to your members and plan meaningful workshops.

• Begin a mentoring program.

• Create a members’ art exhibition.

• Design leadership workshops that allow members to grow and be successful within the organization.

• Plan socials to museums and arts events.

• Share resources, lesson plans, tips and tricks, and best practices.

• Create scholarship opportunities that allow your members to attend conferences or workshops.

• Attend the FAEA conference together and plan to share what you learned with your members.

The 71st Florida Art Education Association Conference is October 5- 8, 2023, in beautiful Ponte Vedra Beach, FL. Volunteering is a great way to connect with other LAEAs from across the state. If you are looking for opportunities to contribute to this year’s conference, please contact me, at laea@board.faea. org. I look forward to seeing you all in October.

Division Updates Cultural Organization Division Director

Miriam Machado Patricia and Phillip Frost Art Museum Miami-Dade County As we embark on the school year 2023-2024, I want to take a moment to acknowledge the incredible impact you have had on the lives of so many young students through the teaching of art. You are not just educators but artists, mentors, and creative catalysts igniting the imaginations of the next generation.

In today’s fast-paced world, the value of art education has become better understood but much more needs to be done. As many of you know, the arts provide students with a unique platform for self-expression, critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving. Through art, they explore diverse perspectives, understand different cultures, and develop empathy and understanding for others.

As a museum educator, I have witnessed firsthand the transformative power of art in the classroom and inside museum galleries. Today museums often seek ways to form partnerships and become community centers for all.

As the school year begins, let us continue to work together as community partners in education to provide students with many tools to discover their artistic voices, gain transferable skills, and attain career readiness.

I look forward to seeing the new masterpieces your students create and showcase in district exhibitons.

Wishing you a successful and inspiring school year ahead!

FAEA BOARD ELECTIONS Remember to vote for the upcoming FAEA Board of Directors!

Punch and Loop Tapestry Lesson Plan for Grades 5-12

Paint: Create a geometric design with Richeson Opaque Watercolors.

Assemble: Make a punch needle tool by taping a blunt needle upside down, onto a disassembled hollow pen tube.

Punch: “Punch” the tool through the mesh holes to weave.

Create a tapestry without a traditional loom or weaving techniques.

Inspired by the textile work of Sophie Taeuber-Arp, students “punch” loops of yarn through a painted mesh base to create a tapestry brimming with texture.

Every year, FAEA members are invited to submit suggestions for keynote speakers.

The FAEA Professional Development Committee reviews the suggestions and determines the slate of keynotes. This year, attendees will be able to hear from two exciting presenters – one a well-known artist and art educator whose focus is on ceramic sculpture, Herb Weaver, and the other is Co-CEO of Archie Comics and global speaker Nancy Silberkleit. Two FAEA Professional Development Committee members had a chance to chat with them and share their discussion.

Nancy Silberkleit Karen Santangelo’s Conversation with Nancy Silberkleit, Co-CEO of Archie Comics On the first day of second grade, Nancy recalls wearing a beautiful white polka-dotted yellow dress with a gray empire waist sash. It was a beautiful sunny day and she was holding her mom’s hand. She saw the other students gathered that were also going into second grade.

As she started walking towards them, she felt her mom squeeze her hand and gently pull her towards the group of first graders. It was then that her Mom told her that she had to repeat first grade. This was the beginning of the shame that Nancy would carry throughout her life as she knew that she was not a good reader.

Ironically, her first-grade teacher’s name that year was Mrs. Charmer. She was a thin, frail woman with gray hair who had no tolerance for Nancy’s reading difficulties. Despite Nancy’s timid, shy nature and her overall aversion to reading and school, she did love everything about art class. The colors, the paint, and the glitter... In fact, her dreams at night still sometimes involve “GLITTER!”

During her year in second grade, she remembers a specific lesson with her art teacher. The teacher played music and asked the students to draw whatever they wanted. Nancy remembers

Nancy Silberkleit drawing an amazing horse. Deep down she felt that the art teacher was trying to bring out the best in her.

Nancy continued her love of art throughout all her years in school. In high school, she became curious about her future and college. When her high school art teacher had to take a leave to serve in the Vietnam War, the substitute teacher was a very young woman whom Nancy felt comfortable approaching to ask about college. It was this educator who had the most impact on Nancy’s life. This encounter guided her future. She attended and graduated from Boston College with a teaching degree and a minor in art.

As much as she loved art, she felt she needed to go into teaching for practical reasons – a steady paycheck and insurance. (The pursuit of her first job comes with a little bit of humor. Come to her presentation to enjoy her story.)

Her first art teaching job was as a middle school art teacher for three years. Ultimately, she transferred to teach elementary art, a position she held until she retired.

During all her years of teaching, she constantly reflected on her own classroom experiences as a student and was always focused on engagement and keeping her classroom a safe space for students. Nancy never repeated a lesson, she never followed the curriculum, and she loved merging the academics with each of her lessons.

She remembers being called into the principal’s office during her teaching years. Her principal told her, “You don’t know what I have to go through to keep you at this

school. How do you come up with all your ideas?” Ideas were Nancy’s artistic gift.

The transition from educator to entrepreneur came with no discussion, no plan, and no runway; she simply had to fly. Nancy’s husband, Michael, was the chairman and publisher of Archie Comics. His father and co-founder, Louis Silberkleit, founded the company in 1942 with John. L. Goldwater. With the untimely death of Michael, timid Nancy (with a huge fear of public speaking) courageously overcame adversity to step into the role as CoCEO of Archie Comic Publications company in 2009. She had the vision that the comic book, as a graphic novel, is a valuable tool for developing literacy among first-time readers and instilling a love of reading for everyone.

Nancy brings her classroom experiences both as a student and as an educator to Archie Comics. Her love of art and her love of reading guides her mission to educate society about the power of THE ARTS. She will never know all the lives that have been touched through Archie Comics but sees that the fans are ageless, timeless, and global.

Archie Comics is continually evolving with the introduction of new characters that experience real-life situations. Nancy hopes that educators will visit http:// archiecomics.com/and use the resources available on the digital platform to inspire their students and them.

NP: Where did you train to become an artist?

HW: After only one art class in high school, I decided to major in art at a small liberal arts college in Virginia, Eastern Mennonite University. I eventually switched to art education. The bulk of my artistic training was obtained while earning an MFA in Ceramics at James Madison University.

NP: Was there an educator that made an impact on your path? How so?

HW: There were several teachers along the journey that provided inspiration at the appropriate moment which spurred me to succeed. Most notable was my graduate school advisor and teacher, Masako Miyata, who guided me by instilling in me the “ways of clay” and, subsequently, her Japanese ethos.

Nancy Puri Interviews Herb Weaver Nancy Puri: Tell us about your childhood in developing your creativity.

Herb Weaver: Looking back, I can see that I was given lots of freedom to explore things and not very many store-bought toys so I had to make up and devise my own. I definitely see a correlation between my childhood “playing” activities and the eventual art-making process that I enjoy now.

NP: Were you an inquisitive child?

HW: I was, and fortunately, never lost that trait. The problem seemed to evolve when I started school and the traditional educational format was not amenable to inquisition and that lead to boredom and inattention. Recently, my mom handed me all

NP: Tell us about your artistic journey. How did you come to use the materials and processes that you currently use?

HW: I am most proficient as a ceramic sculptor, but initially I found ceramics to be my least favorite medium. American ceramicist and educator Peter Voulkos once stated that a person can’t conquer clay but needs to “reach an agreement” with it. After I adopted that philosophy, my clay-making process became more of a give-and-take dialogue. Then, clay became a source of great comfort and therapy.

NP: What is your source of inspiration? Is it people,

nature, politics, or something else?

HW: Reflection on life serves as the major source of inspiration for me. Initially, I was much more whimsical and light-hearted particularly as I observed and engaged with my three daughters as they grew up. But, almost every emotion plays into my artistic creations - stress, political dysfunction, and religious inconsistencies seem to captivate my attention now.

NP: Was there an “ah-ha” moment for you in be-

coming or being a full-time artist? Tell us about the big leap when you became a full-time artist.

HW: One of my professors once told me that “we

should be teachers to support our habit of making art.” Although I didn’t fully agree with that statement, I certainly grew to understand it. So, I taught for 37 years but concurrently was making art along with my students. It worked out well, but at the age of 57 I made the leap to being a full-time artist. What I discovered was that working with students was a powerful source of inspiration that I had not fully appreciated. Now, I’m working furiously as a fulltime artist, but dabble with teaching as an adjunct instructor from time to time.

NP: Do you have any advice for today’s art educator and the future of creativity?

HW: At times it seems the future of successful ed-

ucation is hampered by political and cultural roadblocks, but art education offers a unique avenue to critical thinking. The instructional mix of “handson” learning with a conceptual understanding of reality gives me hope. If I could offer one bit of advice for art teachers it would be to allow your students to see YOU, as the teacher, making art!

Fresh Paint • Conference Program

NP: Are there any thoughts/books/movies/resources you would share with those of us who are a part of the visual arts community?

HW: There are many inspiration sources that I rec-

ommend but these three come to mind: • An inspirational film for teachers, in general, is Conrack - a 1974 American drama based on the 1972 autobiographical book The Water Is Wide by Pat Conroy • An inspirational song that I played for all my Elementary Art Ed classes was Harry Chapin’s FLOWERS ARE RED • I recommend the van Gogh interactive “Immersive Experience” as a “must-see”

By Dulcie Hause, Assistant Director of Education, Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens and FAEA Editorial Committee Member

The Museum of Contemporary Art Jacksonville (MOCA Jacksonville) was founded in 1924 as the Jacksonville Fine Arts Society and was one of the first art museums in Florida. Members of the Women’s Club of Jacksonville believed that the city needed a permanent organization that would promote art, culture, education, and beauty.

54

Fresh Paint • Conference Program

Contempory art Jacksonville Throughout its history, MOCA Jacksonville has moved from several locations before landing in the current location on North Laura Street in downtown Jacksonville in 2003. The museum currently resides in the historic Western Union building adjacent to the bustling James Weldon Johnson Park and is a participant in Jacksonville’s monthly First Wednesday Art Walk.

In 2009, MOCA Jacksonville was acquired by the University of North Florida (UNF), making the museum a cultural institute of the university. This affiliation allows the museum to be a resource to students and faculty. University faculty frequently hold lectures and classes at the museum.

With a focus on artwork from 1960 to the present, the museum has a permanent collection of over 1,000

works of art. The collection ranges from paintings, photographs, prints, sculpture, and beyond.

From both onsite and virtual tours, to classes, to teen programming, to experiences for those with ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder), it is clear that education is the heart of MOCA Jacksonville. The museum offers thematic, grade banded tours onsite for schools. Each tour includes 60 minutes exploring the galleries with an educator and a 30-minute guided workshop.

If a group is unable to visit the museum in person, they can participate in the Meet Me @ MOCA virtual program. This option allows school groups to participate in a live gallery tour using 360˚ technology. Students are able to explore both current and past exhibitions from the Fresh Paint • Conference Program

comfort of their classrooms. As part of the Meet Me @ MOCA experience, teachers can also opt to receive specially designed art kits for their students. Using the art kits, students are able to create unique artwork that relates to their virtual visit.

A recent edition to the education selection of offerings, the Teen Art Council engages youth at the museum. Middle and high school students meet bi-weekly at the museum to learn more about careers in the arts. Their museum service culminates in an end of the year event that is planned by the students themselves.

New for the 2023-24 school year, MOCA Jacksonville has launched the Emerging Artists Program. Museum educators will assist teens that are looking to build their portfolios for high school and college level programs by working with them to refine techniques, craft bios and resumes, and lead peer critiques.

Additionally, MOCA Jacksonville also offers Autism Creates, a program for children with ASD and their families.

Monthly workshops are held before museum opening hours so that lights can be lowered and monitors/projectors can be off to create a sensory friendly environment. After exploring the galleries, families are invited to create art in the studio that is designed to promote self-expression and communication.

MOCA Jacksonville also hosts an artist in residency program once a year. Art and design students from UNF apply

for this competitive program. The selected artist receives studio space at the museum for one semester. During that time, they create a body of work that culminates in an exhibition.

The artist in residency program has been a great springboard for students in launching their art careers. In the future, the museum hopes to expand this program beyond visual arts to other arts concentrations.

This fall, A Walk on the Wild Side: ‘70s New York in the Norman Fisher Collection at MOCA will be Norman Fisher Collection at the Jacksonville Museum of Art will be on view highlighting the nearly 700-piece collection that the museum acquired in 1979. The exhibition will span 2 floors of the museum and be open through the new year, leading into the museum’s centennial anniversary.

While in town for this year’s annual FAEA conference, be sure to visit MOCA Jacksonville. The museum is conveniently open Tuesday-Saturday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., with the first and third Wednesdays open with extended hours until 9 p.m.

FROM THE FIELD

An Art Educator’s Life Journey

By Tammra Harn Art Teacher at Clewiston High School Every educator’s life journey and career path is different.

My teaching methodology and educational philosophy have been determined by my fortitude, experiences, education, and motivation.

I began teaching art in Clewiston, Florida in 2009 at one of the elementary schools. In case you don’t know, Clewiston is located on the southwest bank of Lake Okeechobee in Hendry County. After teaching elementary art for seven years, I started the art program at Clewiston Middle School and quickly moved to Clewiston High School a year later. I just completed my 5th year at the high school level and am the only art teacher that about one-third of my students have ever had. Currently, I teach Art Collaboration Honors, Ceramics 1 and 2, and AP 2-D, 3-D, and Drawing.

Before describing how I have built my art program at Clewiston High School, I need to share more about myself and what art has done for me.

I have dyslexia. When I started Kindergarten in 1973, there was very little help for me for the better part of my elementary school year. Add to the equation that my dad was in the Air Force and we moved approximately every two years. As you may have predicted, I struggled throughout my academic education. The teachers did not know how to help me and my peers would whisper, “Look, she can’t do it.” I thought that I was incapable of accomplishing anything. In 6th grade, the guidance counselor told my parents that I “would not graduate from high school, so take me home and teach me how to be a good mother and wife.” Thank goodness, my parents never even told me of the counselor’s recommendation and encouraged me to do my best.

In 7th grade, two positive things occurred that turned the tides. First, I had an ESE teacher that finally taught me to read!

Secondly, I learned that I could draw really well. As a young teenager, I drew everything I could find. I took all the art classes that I could. Teachers and students would say, “Look what Tammra can do!” I graduated from LaBelle High School in 1985. I met my husband, and he encouraged me to go to college. I started college, got an art scholarship, and received my BA with honors.

My own experiences, along with may academic studies, formed my teaching philosophy—ANYONE, regardless of their situation, can excel if they receive the tools to learn and

really try. I have dedicated myself to helping and encouraging my students to practice and never give up. They believe me because I believe in them.

In my AP classes, I push students to try and encourage them to go beyond what they “think” they can do. To prepare my students, I created a notebook with information on the AP portfolio, vocabulary, and school year calendar highlighting the deadlines when their artwork is due. This year I created and published a sketchbook to assist AP students. I start the year with lessons on portfolio expectations and terminologies.

When we finish that, I teach the students the principles of design. In those lessons, we walk around the school and take photos of the different organizing principles from different perspectives. Then, they use their photos to draw/paint. Additionally, they have taken pictures of each other from different points of view - i.e. ants’ eye view, bird’s eye view, etc. I provide them with professional-grade supplies that they use for the two pieces that are due every two weeks. Every two weeks we conduct a peer critique. Lastly, we have a student art show in late April and all students are required to attend. They are

allowed to sell their works through silent auctions.

My favorite lesson is one that I teach to ALL of my students.

I teach a two-day lesson on my favorite artist, Vincent van Gogh. On day one, I give the students the history of Vincent and his works. On day two, I tell them the history of four es-

sential people in Vincent’s life. I end the lesson with a “Guess Who” game. There are six students at each table group. Each student takes an envelope; each envelope contains the name of the character that the student becomes – Vincent, the four essential people, and Inspector Crusoe. Inspector Crusoe asks their teammates questions. Judging from their answers, Inspector Crusoe has to choose who Vincent is. The students LOVE this game.

In addition to my teaching role, I am the sponsor of the school’s Art Club. We do many community projects which have included painting murals for the school, City Pool and Police Station, stage decorating for the Miss Hendry County Pageant, and hosting an art show for all the public and private schools in Clewiston. It was a tremendous success.

Most of my satisfaction as a teacher comes from my relationships with my students. During COVID, I was recognized as Clewiston High School’s Teacher of the Year in 2022. As my

journey continues, I wanted to share my story with my fellow art educators. I am proud of my work so far and am excited for the future.

Mrs. Harn has been an art educator since 2009. She earned her BA from Florida Gulf Coast University. Her favorite quote is from Vincent van Gogh, “If you hear a voice within you saying ‘you cannot paint,’ then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced.”

Lesson Planning in the Age of Social Media

By Kasey E. Power, PhD University of Florida

Our Growing Preference for Social Media-Based Curricular Resources

Do you have a Pinterest account?

Facebook? Instagram? Do you use blogs and social media sites as inspiration sources for lesson planning? Do you follow any influencers in art education?

Does your school pay for a subscription to a digital company that offers readymade lessons? If you answered, “well, yes of course,” to any of these questions (and the screenshots included in Figure 1 look familiar), I have news for you- you’re undoubtedly an art educator working in 2023! As art educators, we’re going to use all available resources to inspire our curricula and maintain relevancy with our students, whether they’re kindergarteners, undergraduates, or somewhere in-between.

Our reliance on online resources is well documented. In seeking to better understand the resources used by art educators at all levels, the National Art Education Association collected survey data pertaining to the use of traditional print and online resources for educational practice, exposing the predominance of online and social media-based lesson planning resources (Buffington & Sutters, 2017). The data revealed that art educators no longer favor peer-reviewed, hard-copy publications as teaching resources. Rather, curricularresources hailing from blogs, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest reign supreme. In light of the massive shift to online and remote learning that occurred as a result of the pandemic, our

preference for using online resources to gain curricular inspiration might even be stronger than ever- or, should I say, more second-nature than ever.

Along with the use of online resources has come the necessary task of critically analyzing, evaluating, and amending said resources before we bring them into our classrooms. Thus far, literature in art education has focused on critiquing lesson plans found online that claim to promote multicultural art education (Acuff, 2014; Buffington & Bryant, 2019; Chin, 2011). As a field, we have yet to fully investigate and illustrate how online resources largely perpetuate product-centered lessons, focus on technique while ignoring conceptual development, and value teacher-led instruction versus student-led creative development.

Creating Guideposts for Using Online and Social Media-Based Resources Over the past five years, I’ve served as the instructor of student teaching, guiding preservice teachers through the highs and lows of their first immersive months in art classrooms. Throughout my time as an instructor, student teachers have utilized social media to seek out lesson plans and/or curricular inspirations steeped in technique-driven, product-centered modes of teaching, voicing little to no interest in searching for topics related to expansive discourses (Thomas, 2020), such as social justice, multiculturalism, diversity, or inclusivity. Interested by this trend, in the Fall of 2021, I engaged a cohort of preservice art teachers enrolled in their semester of student teaching in a design-based (Bakker, 2019; Crippen & Brown, 2018) study in order to research and develop a usable framework for critically analyzing and transforming online resources for lesson planning. In pursuit of this research, I asked the following question: How does the process of finding, analyzing, and redesigning lesson plans found online and via social media transform the participants’ approach to designing curriculum?

The study asked student teachers to participate in a host of lesson planning activities and discussions that surrounded their use of online and social media-based resources. In undertaking this task, the participants and I realized that we must first define our standards, or, as we came to call them, “the traits of an effective lesson plan.” It is only in setting parameters that we could critically analyze the lessons found online and create lessons that were ready for classroom use. A collaborative mind map was cre-

ated that illustrated the discussion that ultimately led to the group creating a list of guideposts to be implemented by art educators when analyzing online lesson planning resources. These included prominent words like: challenging, adaptable, and accessibility.

Breaking-Down the Guideposts After collaboratively analyzing and critiquing twelve lesson plans found via social media according to the “traits of

effective lesson plans” seen in the mind map, participants not only identified instances of cultural misrepresentation and appropriation within the online lessons, which is reflected in the literature (Acuff, 2014; Buffington & Bryant, 2019; Chin, 2011), but also the predominance of lessons that perpetuated the product-centered, cookie-cutter characteristics of the School Art Style (Efland, 1976; Gude, 2013). As problems with the lesson plans were discussed, specific guideposts for critically analyzing online and social me-

dia-based curricular resources emerged.

Below, I have included an italicized list of six guideposts developed by the participants of the study, along with a brief explanation of how and why each guidepost came to be.

Embrace concept, not just artistic technique. Art is more than a pretty product.

Most commonly, lesson plans found online highlighted the end product, requiring visual similarity among all completed student works as a marker of a successfully completed project. Furthermore, the product-centered lessons were teacher-directed, rather than encouraging students to develop and implement their own themes and concepts. Furthermore, online lessons did not include time for materials-based exploration, art criticism, or concept development.

Every lesson can be tied to art history

or contemporary art- bonus points for multiple artist examples!

Online lesson plans often lacked a connection to the art world, instead, they solely focused on technique. When a connection was made, the highlighted artist hailed from the Western canon. Participants proposed the notion of teaching thematically (Stewart & Walker, 2005) and including a host of artists who create work exemplifying the theme, thus exposing students to a diverse array of artistic approaches.

Artwork should be assessed on more than just formal characteristics. Let’s get past using the elements and principles as our only guideposts!

Among online lesson plans, participants noticed that lessons and their accompanying assessments were designed around the elements of art and principles of design, rather than char-

acteristics of authentic artistic practice such as experimentation, inventiveness, and conceptual development.

Lessons should be relevant to the student population and student interests.

Rather than the content of artistic work being dictated by the teacher, projects should include openness to student-chosen themes and concepts.

Avoid lessons that ask students to directly copy the work and style of established artists. Resources ranging from the elementary to secondary level often encourage students to learn about a single artist and then copy the style of said artist. Participants rejected the premise that student work should be judged as successful or unsuccessful based on its likeness to an established artwork.

If your lesson embraces social justice art education, it must promote and facilitate respectful dialogue and make space for student lived experience.

Rarely, participants were able to find lesson plans with social justice themes.

Of the examples that were found, the lessons focused on a specific social issue promoted by the teacher, rather than empowering students to identify, research, and artistically respond to an issue about which they feel passionate.

Additionally, the lessons found online did not include space to engage students in dialogue defining social justice, offer artist examples, and promote civil discourse between and among students regarding their beliefs.

Towards Critical, Purposeful Scrolling

Using the guideposts, participants not only critically analyzed the lessons they found online, but rewrote the existing lessons to reflect the traits of effective lesson plans laid out in the six

guideposts (see Figure 2 for participant artistic representations of revised lesson plans). Moving forward in the age of social media, the participants of the study and I encourage all art educators to use keep these guideposts in mind when searching for and using online lesson plans. There are countless images that catch our attention as we scroll through our phones, causing us to think, “that looks like fun!” While art class is undoubtedly fun, it can also be challenging, conceptually expanding, and integrative of the student experience.

It’s our job to keep that in mind.
