BAEA Workshop-Interpreting Art Media

BAEA Hands-on Workshop!!! 

November 7^th!!!

 

Casey will be teaching a workshop during First Thursday at the Birmingham Museum of Art on Thursday, November 7^th from 4:30-6:30 pm in Studio 2.  I realize some of you have to come from far away, but feel free to come in whenever you can!  There should be plenty of time to catch up.   The workshop is titled “Interpreting Art Media” and is sponsored by Sargent Art.  This workshop will look at a great way to incorporate using various media into your classroom.  It can be tweaked to fit any age group.  Please bring examples of famous (or not famous) artwork, photographs, and ANY magazines you may have.   Also, please consider sticking around after the workshop and explore all the wonderful activities happening at the museum for First Thursday!

 

Since this is the first official BAEA meeting of the school year, we will be taking membership dues during this meeting as well.  Yearly dues are $10 for NAEA/AAEA members.  If you are not a member of NAEA, please consider joining!  It is a VERY valuable resource on many different levels.  If you are not interested in joining, non-members may pay the $25 workshop fee.  We can accept cash or checks.  Lindsay Mouyal will be printing off professional development certificates for all attendees.  Hope to see you there!!!

 

Did we mention there will be DOOR PRIZES?!?!?

Back to School Get Together

We are planning a "BAEA Back to School Get Together" next Friday, August 16th at 5 pm.  We will meet at Naked Art Gallery in Forest Park in conjunction with Third Friday in Forest park and the art opening.  Then we will meet at Silvertron for dinner at 6:30, so if some people want to come to dinner and not the gallery or vice versa, those are the times.  This is going to be an informal gathering to look at some art, share stories from the summer and share new and fresh ideas for the upcoming school year!  Last year we had a blast!

Making Value Visible

Donna Russell (with the Alabama Alliance for Arts Education) sent me some information I wanted to share with you.  This summer they are hosting a workshop focusin on arts integration or SAIL (Sustaining Artful Instruction and Learning).  I attended last year(along with some of our other fabulous art educators: Mary Jake Coker, Shelly Bailey, Staci Jacks, Arlene Johnson, Jennifer Winholtz, Trista Nabors and more...sure I forgot somebody here).  So feel free to ask somebody about the experience.  It will focus on arts integrations, demystifying assessments in art education, and explore collaborations and partnerships.

It is going to be from June 30-July 3 at the Alabama 4H Center in Columbia.

Donna Russell says there are scholarships still available, so contact her for more information.  See message from her below and included attachment for more information...

"Please pass this on to your colleagues, membership, OR apply yourself.  We have full scholarship assistance available.  Contact me for an application.  Thanks and have a great weekend."

Bird is the Word

We had a blast at the workshop Wednesday with Kellie Newsome.  Thanks to Alabama Art Supply for hosting us.  Thanks to Pam for baking us cookies.  Thanks to Kellie for a lovely workshop and thanks to everyone who came!

 We learned a lot of mixed media techniques; including making photo transfers using both binders and modeling compound.  We experimented with concealing, revealing, sgraffito and over painting.  We also got to play with some beautifully vivid Atelier paints (you can get them at Alabama Art Supply). We went back and forth, working on two pieces at once.  We created sgrafitto bird nests and "Pretty Bird" photo transfers.

Cheep, cheep!
