Mission Statement– Providing Oklahoma students with the highest quality of visual arts education.
Congratulations to Oklahoma Art Educator of the Year Shelley K. Self with OAEA President Eric
It was such a great pleasure to be involved with the 2013 OAEA Fall Conference in Stillwater! A renewed sense of excitement could be felt as we were able to attend quality Professional Development directly related to visual art! To see our peers from across the state sharing their expertise with others during the workshops both Friday and Saturday was one of the highlights! Workshops ranged from intellectual discussions about narrative artwork to traditional high crafts such as the Tin Punch and Felting workshops to fun new ways to create prints with Gelliplates to tried and true watercolor/colored pencil rendering demonstrations to developing a plan for a whole school tile mural! We also had college art education majors not only attend the conference, but copresent a workshop! The problem, of course, was that no matter how hard you tried, you could not attend all of them! We had 34 different workshops representing art educators from across Oklahoma! If you were there, you know how amazing it was‌.if you were unable to attend, my hope is you will be able to participate next year! Jennifer Dix-Brown Eastern VP and Green Country Rep

By Eric Lyons-OAEA President Being a flexible Art Teacher, something that we always say we are. We adapt to change quickly; we are quick to be ahead of the curve, always looking for new things to teach our kids. But in new developments of social media, everyone can be an artist. Why do they even need an art class? What are we doing to stay ahead of that curve? Students have Instagram, Pinterest, tumbler, and online tutorials. We have found ourselves in a new generation that is already ahead of the curve. Students come to us with knowledge of manipulating photographs, pushing cinematography, and find themselves with access to low cost, sophisticated creative tools. So what does that mean to my curriculum of teaching “traditionally”? We all have our lessons that we teach, start out with drawing, move into color theory and painting, introduce mixed media and end on a high note of 3D. Of course that’s just a general assumption, but we all collaborate and often find that this is a pretty simple consensus. Maybe it’s our district curriculum that keeps us on this track; maybe it’s just that we are comfortable. Mine is the comfortable track. I’m finding that, more and more students are arriving to the classroom with knowledge already obtained. They are getting bored with my daily routines. Time to get away from the grid drawings, color wheel assignment, and one point perspective of my classroom. Are all of these things important? Absolutely, but introducing them the same way every year is getting boring. Not only for the students, but it’s getting boring for me too. (And if it’s boring to me, imagine what the fast pace generation we teach now thinks about it.) It’s time to step outside the box, think big, and act. I mean, we do always say we are the most flexible teacher in the school, right? Time to adapt, challenge the curve, and bring our art programs to the forefront of our schools. Art is too important to be on the backburner. Let’s start taking the lead and making it is known, that the earth without art is just “eh”.

Moore Public Schools Art Teachers enjoy the OAEA Conference
Brian Payne & Leland Leslie The annual OAEA Fall Conference was held September 20 and 21 in Stillwater on the Oklahoma State University campus. Over 20 workshops included a secondary curriculum focus, which provided a wealth of various applications and teaching methods. Several of these workshops were taught by current Oklahoma State professors allowing members to revisit the post-secondary arts studio to learn new applications, or simply assimilate them with previously learned material. Examples of these workshops included Brandon Reese’s lecture, Contemporary Ceramics: Clay as Catalyst, and Mark Sisson’s, Relief Printmaking for Elementary and Secondary Schools. Reese’s presentation focused on artists whose mid-century beginnings led a revolution in the ceramics world. From John Mason’s legendary installation, Blue Wall (1959), to Peter Voulkos’ Stacks series, members were treated to a variety of contemporary methods in ceramics. Mark Sisson met with OAEA members to discuss different methods and techniques in printmaking, including the cost effective “Styrofoam plate” prints to more advanced methods in woodblock printmaking. Sisson also gave a tour of the printmaking facilities in the Visual Arts Annex and reviewed the different presses available for the students to use. Finally, OAEA conference attendees were treated to an outstanding exhibit and reception of artwork by OAEA members. The work was shown in the gallery of the AIA award-winning Donald W. Reynolds School of Architecture Building. Several major events for high school students are coming up including the 2014 Portfolio Day and Young Talent in Oklahoma. Over 25 representatives from universities and colleges in Oklahoma and the surrounding areas will meet at the Oklahoma City Museum of Art on January 17, to talk to high school students about their program offerings. Students may bring their portfolios, as they will be able to discuss their artwork one-on-one with college professors. This is a free event so don’t let your students miss this opportunity to potentially further their art career. If you would like to attend, please R.S.V.P. to Jann Jeffrey, j_jeffrey@yahoo.com. The pinnacle for the school year, Young Talent in Oklahoma, is a chance for secondary students to showcase their skills. Seniors who submit their portfolio work also have the chance to win college scholarships. Selected pieces will hang in the Nona Jean Hulsey Gallery on the Oklahoma City University campus. The deadline for artwork and entry forms is January 24 by 7pm. For more information please contact Donna Barnard, donnabarnard@mooreschools.com.
Hi Everyone, I am Leland Leslie, the new Eastern Secondary Chair. I have previously served as V.P. - Eastern, Secondary Chair, and Young Talent Chair. I also started Oklahoma Portfolio Day while serving as Secondary Chairman. I am pleased to be back in the mix of the greatest art teachers in the world. Most of my current artwork is pottery; I really found it after graduating from O.S.U. I have worked out of a studio in downtown Tulsa on the now cool Brady Street for the last 15 years. Receiving the Fulbright Memorial Fund award and traveling to Japan was a great opportunity for me to see pottery aesthetics in a more spiritual way. While there, I studied the pottery used in the Tea Ceremony and its connection to Buddhist and Taoist traditions. I went to Japan again as an expert in the field with a team of 16 teachers chosen out of the U.S. to write art curriculum for Japan Studies sponsored by the U.S. Dept. of Education. In addition, I traveled to Italy to study the classics and to see the original artwork that I have been teaching about for the last 20 years. I also was invited to go to Alaska one summer to study the oral tradition of the Inuit. Finally, I taught an International Field Studies in Humanities class in London with a bunch of high school art students, fun times. I currently teach in Sand Springs and I also teach as an adjunct professor for St. Gregory’s University in Tulsa. My Master’s Degree is in Special Education in which I am forever an advocate. Now I am thinking about the National Board Certification; Marsha, I will be contacting you soon. Onward.
By Brandy Sitts, OAEA Membership Co-Chair This fall we are still trying to push ‘new memberships’. We have had a few new members and student members. Thank you to those who told others about the benefits of belonging to the OAEA. Do you know any new teachers/art teachers who need to belong to a community group like OAEA? Reach out to them or, email brandysitts@mooreschools.com with their contact information and I will get with them. Remember there is a student discount and members don’t have to be art teachers, artists, or soon-to-be art teachers. If you are going to Quartz Mountain we ask if you would please print and take a couple membership forms to take with you. Remember: if you need any assistance in the classroom with lessons, ideas, classroom management… don’t hesitate to email! We would like to leave you with a classroom idea and wish the best for this fall season! Critique: Critique plays an integral role in the art course. It allows students to share ideas, to prepare for middle school/high school/and college, and to learn self-reflection. In my classroom we have various ways to do critique. My favorite is the post-it note critique. Students have a pack of post it notes (or slips of paper) and the classes work is strewn about the room. Students take their post its and a pen and wander the room looking at the work and leaving observations. This allows some anonymity and students will be very honest. The first few times using this form of critique, the feedback will be simple words and phrases such as, ‘I like the colors’ and ‘it makes me happy’. As we grow during the semester and learn art vocabulary the post its start to say things like ‘the use of line shows strong movement.’ I look for a simple statement and constructive criticism is welcome. Another way to stimulate classroom discussion is a ‘ping pong ball discussion.’ Write art critique related questions on ping pong balls and put them in a tub. Draw them like the lotto. Depending on your grade level you may want students to work in groups instead of a class discussion. I normally used this to study a famous work and get kids used to talking about art. Tip: Make sure you have as many questions (or more) as you do students. There are so many questions you could use. I’ve also done this on slips of paper after my ping pong balls ran away from home. Paper is not as much fun and doesn’t get the same enthusiasm from the kids. Some example questions you can steal: What is the content of this work? What principles of design are apparent? What is the focus and why? What is the mood/tone of this work? How does the work make you feel? Does the subject in this work feel? What is the function of this work? What art movement is this work from? Is there a patron of this work? What is the setting of this work? What would it do to this work if we changed the colors? DO YOU HAVE A GREAT IDEA THAT WORKS? POST ON THE OAEA FB PAGE AND SHARE IT WITH OTHERS. Moore Public Schools Mask making workshop taught by Patrick Riley at Westmoore High School.
The hallway of the Oklahoma City Museum of Art will be swarming with high school seniors and juniors toting their large portfolios and nervously chatting with each other. Some will be lined up to enter the classroom areas to talk with representatives from about 20 colleges, universities and art institutes. The doors will open and inside will be the smiling, inviting faces of reps and it begins. HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS!! THIS IS FOR YOU!!! HIGH SCHOOL ART TEACHERS, THIS IS FOR YOU! Take advantage of this opportunity to bring or send students for their chance to talk one-on-one to art professors and school reps. Students are able to show current work and get not only advice on the sum of their portfolio but needed inside advice on careers in art, majors available, costs, and curriculum. Not only will our large Oklahoma universities be present but junior colleges, smaller universities and art institutes from Kansas City and Memphis plus Santa Fe University will be present. The University of Oklahoma, University of Central Oklahoma, Oklahoma State University, University Science & Arts of Oklahoma, Oklahoma Christian University, Oklahoma Panhandle State University, East Central University, Rose State College, and St. Gregory’s [partial list] are some of the institutions which will have tables filled with literature about the entrance requirements, costs, and scholarship forms and information. Students will be able to leave that day with questions answered and contact names. Over twenty-five reps and their assistants will talk non-stop from 10 am till 2 pm. These people give generously of their time and the students are the recipients of this. There is always room for parents to take advantage of this event - to gain information as well -and most of them will be able to see that there are many different schools, majors, and opportunities from which to choose. Most students, teachers and parents will be able to spend time on a tour of the museum. Portfolio Day is jointly sponsored by the OAEA and the Oklahoma City Museum of Art each January. Be sure to schedule this on your planning calendar for January 17, 2014. It is VERY important that you, the teacher, contact me and schedule your time slot so that we don’t have 100 kids all trying to get into the rooms at once. PLEASE! email me at this address: j_jeffrey@yahoo.com. I will get back to you with your time slot. I will also give the museum your bus grant request if you wish to apply for this. If you wish to view the museum while you are here, let me know that so that we don’t have crowd jams. 405-607-0406 Hope to see you there. Jann Jeffrey, OAEA Chair Portfolio Day

We as Art Educators understand the importance of what we do, but the value of our profession and what it contributes to education, the community, and our student's future is not always clear to other people. Advocacy is vital to the Visual Arts as schools are faced with tighter budgets and are forced to cut programs. It is very important that we are taking every opportunity that we can to help administrators and legislators see the true value in what we do. This can be as simple as having a conversation or as in depth as providing data and statistics (see the NAEA website). We need to be SEEKING OUT opportunities and initiating these conversations. Youth Arts Month will only be as strong as those advocating for it. Don’t hesitate to visit your local Museums and Community Centers and ask them to acknowledge YAM. They don’t have to hold any special events, but just simply "PROCLAIM" a day to openly celebrate the arts in education. Ask them to make it public on their websites, blogs, or newsletters. You can always put them into contact with one of the YAM chairs if they need content or a statement about YAM. What would it look like if we could get every museum, community arts organizations, and non-profits in the state to "PROCLAIM" their support and stand with us. Think of the message we would send. Let’s make this our goal for 2014.
We appreciate every single one of you!!! The YAM committee Upcoming YAM dates. Work for the K-12 OAEA Student Showcase hosted by Oklahoma Contemporary is due to Chris Cochran at Putnam City North HS by OCT 25. This is a member’s only show hosted by OK Contemporary featuring student work from across the state. Let’s not miss the opportunity to have a strong K-12 showing for this year’s event.

A Broken Arrow High School art teacher, Cindy Gharibvand with her friend and colleague, Donna Gradel, recently together wrote an award winning cross curriculum grant for Art and Environmental Science. The sojourn started through a Fund for Teacher grant in 2012, where they laid the ground work for students to be involved in real world problems and expand their vision to helping children in Kenya. Just to name a few things that they accomplished while there: … built a fully functional aquaponics system for two huge fish ponds, a greenhouse (all which were 20 feet by 40 feethuge!), put up fiberglass siding on the green house walls, financially supported drilling for a water well at the Children’s Home, added 1200 tilapia fingerlings, dropped off medical supplies to the clinic, school supplies to the teachers in Tharaka, gave children’s clothes and soccer balls for the children’s home……
“As an art teacher, I was excited to bring stimulating cross-cultural art projects back to my students at BAHS. We are planning African mask-making, skyping with new friends in Kenya and sponsoring a baby elephant at the David Sheldrick Fostering Program.” On Sept. 4, 2013 the Oklahoma Foundation for Excellence, founder and chairman David L. Boren had the Broken Arrow team speak at their Annual Trustee Meeting and Luncheon where they humbly received a standing ovation for their work.
Our Retired OAEA members met at the fall conference. Those attending were, Valerie Beck, Bob Curtis, Isolete DeAlemida, Barbara Gabel, Karen Kirkpatrick and Rosemary Burke-Carroll, the Retired Chairman. As a greeting gift for attending, each member received an art palette Christmas ornament!! We have organized a trip to the Crystal Springs Museum of American Art in Bentonville, Arkansas, on November 12 & 13th. It will be an overnight trip to see the museum and enjoy the beautiful grounds that they have there. Also, a little sketching and picture taking is planned while we are there!!! We would love to have others to join us for the day or even the overnight event. Just contact Rosemary or Isolete to get all the information. Rosemary Burke-Carroll OAEA Retired Chairman
Papier Mache’ Pulp Recipe Frances Williams I have made paper pulp in the past, but have been unhappy with the length of time it took to dry. While researching recipes I ran across this website with a great paper pulp recipe: www.ultimatepapermache.com . This pulp can be spread on with a plastic knife and will stick to most all recycled materials. Some things, like balloons we added one layer of papier mache’ first. The great thing about this pulp is it dries over night and is very hard so it can be sanded. The pulp creates great details such as eye ridges and teeth, and it helps when manipulating finer details to dampen your fingers and tools. Cheap toilet paper (School TP works great, raid the janitor closet) 1 ½ Cups wet. Soak in water and gently squeeze out and break apart ¾ Cup Elmer’s Glue-All 1 cup joint compound (drywall mud) 1-2 Tbsps. Boiled Linseed Oil. Mix Glue, compound and oil with mixer, then slowly add in wet torn apart paper. Makes approximately 2 cups of pulp; store in air tight container. It was suggested that if you plan to store for a longer period to add bleach to water that you soak the toilet paper in. Also suggested if you are using with young children to omit the linseed oil and use glycerin in its place.
Dear Art Educator: Many of you have already heard about Artsonia as an online kids art museum. But that's just a small part of what Artsonia offers your art program. By showcasing your student artwork on Artsonia you will: Create a Community Around Your Art Program An Artsonia school gallery is much more than just a place to show off your student's artwork; it's an opportunity to create an entire community that revolves around your art program. The gallery is a launching pad for art-focused student interactions, family involvement, and integrating technology into your art room. Teach Digital Citizenship -- New Classroom Mode! As a web-based educational platform, Artsonia provides many ways for students to learn and practice responsible digital citizenship. Online classroom tools give students the means to responsibly submit their own artwork and statements. Leaving comments on another student's work is another online activity. Often times, these activities are done on school-owned computers or iPads. Students learn appropriate ways to use devices while practicing respectful and responsible digital citizenship in the safe, controlled online environment provided by Artsonia.com. Promote Literacy and Address the Common Core Students are encouraged to submit artist statements along with their artwork. Asking students to thoughtfully analyze and interpret their work and then write a statement drives literacy skills. This is especially true when proper use of sentences, punctuation, and organization is required by the teacher. Artist statements, much like the Common Core requirements, reinforce the importance of learning to reflect, critique, and evaluate work. Earn Funds, Enrich Your Art Program -- Earn a FREE Membership Renewal! Artsonia gives teachers a way to earn additional funds for their school via an online gift shop where families and friends of students can purchase customized keepsakes featuring his or her artwork. Artsonia gives 20% of each purchase back to the school. At any time, art teachers can redeem earned funds in the form of a check, gift cards (Artsonia / Blick Art Materials / Amazon), technology products (Apple TV / iPads), or as payment for their annual NAEA Membership. With additional funds coming into your program, Artsonia hopes that both you and your students will be provided with enriched experiences and opportunities in the world of art education. Click here to get started today! Sincerely, Jim Meyers CEO and Co-Founder, Artsonia
