years in the schools:
“As a counselor, I often teamed up with artists
and musicians to help people express themselves when
words failed them or when they had been choosing inap-

learning to express negative emotions through the arts
became the skill that made the most difference in their
recovery and well-being.
The idea that the arts are unimportant or irrel-
evant or not a priority is very disturbing. The arts are a
healing force and a connecting link in an often fractured
world. The arts in all forms are, in my view, as essential
as clean air and renewable energy and civil political dis-

spirits, and provide respite from the uncivil words and
behaviors that are a part of our lives. Could anything be Ask for our Spring Sale Catalog

East Region
Conference Report

The 2011 East Tennessee

Conference was held on
February 12 at Hardin Valley High School in
Knoxville, Tennessee. Named Wintry Delight, the
participants had a delightful time working with Don-
na Anderson and Suzanne Jack, both of whom teach
at the academy. Professional development consisted
of classes in printmaking and portraiture.
The Portraiture Workshop began with the par-
ticipants toning canvases with a middle range tone
that increases highlights and shadows. Suzanne
briefly discussed specifics of brushes and oil
colors. Next, further instructions included video
before taking and modifying digital images. Using
a strong light source, the participants took turns
photographing each other and making lighting
adjustments. Sketching began using light neutrals
to define key areas. This was a very successful
workshop, many painting skills were honed and
everyone felt a sense of personal satisfaction
that their portraits were recognizable.
The Printmaking Workshop began with Donna
presenting images exemplifying the techniques
to be attempted during the day.Three different
printing experiences were chosen: intaglio, sten-
ciling, and planographic.After sketching, creation
began of a linocut. An explanation of linocut
was given that this printmaking technique while
similar to that of the woodcut differs in that
linoleum offers an easier surface for working a design.
Linocuts offer more precision and a greater variety of
effects than woodcuts. Long disparaged by serious artists
as not challenging enough, the linocut came into its own
after artists like Picasso and Matisse began working with
the technique.The students’ results were impressive.The
planographic project was a monotype, a one-off technique
where a flat surface is painted with oil colors or ink and
then passed through the etching press.
A special thank-you goes out to the fine instructors,
Donna and Suzanne, both members of TAEA. Their level
of knowledge is masterful and the time and effort involved
in preparation was evident. In closing, the conference was
very successful and those who participated were well
rewarded and all expressed that they came with needs for skill de-
velopment and instructional ideas. Everyone expressed how grateful
each was for this time of professional development.

West Region
Conference Report

The West Tennessee Art

Education Association
annual one-day conference was at the
Memphis Brooks Museum of Art on Sat-
urday,April 9, and the theme was Creativity
and Self-Expression. Participants started
the morning with a discussion about a
selection of artwork from the Brooks
Museum’s collection led by Curator of
Education, Karleen Gardner. Works by
Willie Cole,William Christenberry, Chakia
Booker, Red Grooms, and Andre Serrano
were chosen to reflect the unique ways
that artists have used creativity and self-
expression in their art.
Following the morning’s discussion, the
teachers split into two groups and headed
into the museum’s galleries to complete
two activities. In the first, teachers heard
about how contemporary artist Willie
Cole found an everyday iron in the middle
of the street, an object that lead to an
important theme in the artist’s work. Par-
ticipants were asked to brainstorm some
of the ways that the iron might have got-
ten to the middle of the street, and then
make a sketch of that unusual scenario. In the
second gallery activity, teachers were given
song lyrics that went along with a work of
art at the museum. In small groups, they had
to work together to create a song from the
lyrics, and then perform it as a group.
Lunch was enjoyed on the terrace at the
Brushmark Restaurant overlooking Overton
Park.And after lunch, teachers split back into
their groups for two afternoon art-making
workshops. Shelby County art teacher Me-
linda Traylor taught participants how to make
Wycinanki (Polish Paper-cutting).And Lynnette
Gilbert, another Shelby County at teacher, lead
a workshop on collagraphy.The teachers made
fantastic works of art and enjoyed their time
at the Brooks.
Many thanks to Jennifer Harants, Jenny Hornby,
Karleen Gardner, and the workshop presenters
for helping make it a great day.

Report from the State Department of
Education
Curriculum Standards: The revised curriculum standards for
visual art are now finalized, approved by the state board
of education, and posted on the state education website. They are in effect
for this fall. There are additional Checks for Understanding for K-5 on the
Electronic Learning Center. On the education website, scroll down until you
see Electronic Learning Center (ELC). Click on it and then go to Curriculum
Resources. Under Fine Arts, you will find this additional resource beneath
the FAQ section.
New national standards will be coming in the next several years.They are just
now beginning and NAEA is part of this process.
Textbook Adoption: The state team of teachers to review the materials bid for
visual art will begin work in June. At the end of July, they will reconvene and
come to consensus on the reviews of all of these materials. Publishers will have
an opportunity to respond in September and the textbook commission will
present the final list to the state board for approval in October. In January or
February school systems will have an opportunity to review these materials
and the reviews of the state review panel before making their own adoption
decisions from the list. Be sure that you review these as well so that you can
make your wishes known. Whatever is chosen is what you will be using for
the next six years. So it is an important decision.
Praxis Exams: The praxis exam for visual art has been revised and the new
one will be in place in the fall. The cut score will be determined at the April
meeting of the state board of education. Instead of two exams, there will
now be only one.
Evaluation: The TAEA e-news has carried information about the development
of the evaluation of student achievement piece that will also be part of teacher
evaluation.The fine arts team has made a lot of progress and has a plan that we
believe will work effectively in all the varying circumstances under which we
teach and still measure achievement of the standards.This is a work in progress
and probably will be for the next year. So this first year may not be what you
would like to see, but in order to get there, we may have to go through one
year with a less than desirable system.You already know what your students
can and cannot do and what progress they have made. This will be a means
of documenting this for the students to see, for informing parents and school
officials, and for assisting instruction. It should also bring an awareness of the
importance visual art education has in the lives of our students.
Thank you: Most of all, thank you for all the work you do every day with your
students; for the spark you see and build on; for putting your students first in
spite of all the paperwork and other issues you are faced with in our changing
world of education.You do make a difference in the lives of your students. By
now, many of you know that I am retiring. After 44 years in education and
over 17 of those years at the state department of education, it is time for
me to move on. My only regret as I leave is that the position of director of
arts education will not be filled. So I do not know who will be taking your
calls and e-mails. You have been wonderful to work with, and I’ve learned to
depend on you to help me get the job done at the department. At the same
time, I hope I have been able to keep you informed so that you can stay on
top of events in education in this state. I shall miss all of you.

TAEA Membership Report
Our membership is holding steady
at 360-380 over the past few
months. In February the National Art Education
Association sent out a report on the membership
potential based on art educators in each state and
it is clear that we could be doing better. Their sta-
tistics showed that there are 1704 eligible people in
Tennessee if everyone joined. Some strategies have
been discussed at the TAEA board-level for increas-
ing our membership, but when it comes down to it,
it’s you as a current member who has the greatest
potential to help us grow by asking non-members
in your school district and area to join. Just direct
them to the National’s website or our developing
TAEA site so that they can see for themselves the
many benefits of joining.
I also believe becoming part of your professional
organization is a responsibility that we have to each
other as our way of offering our skills, support and
expertise to our fellow teachers, who return the
same to us in kind. So, please invite a colleague to
join, remember to renew your membership when
it comes due and become involved through our
regional, statewide and national conferences.

‘First to the Top” Assessment
Tennessee Arts Educators,
A committee comprised of arts educators is working
in conjunction with the Tennessee State Department of
Education to propose a plan for student growth measurement
as part of the First to the Top legislation. Until such growth
measures are available, educators in “non-tested” subjects
may be evaluated using a TVAAS composite score for the
growth component. This option could have a lasting negative
impact for arts education. However, if implemented properly,
a system that actually allows arts educators to be evaluated
based on student growth in the arts could be a significant
opportunity for arts education.
The Fine Arts Growth Measures Committee consulted with
the state associations, arts supervisors, higher education
officials, and over 600 arts teachers to develop the preliminary
recommendations to the technical advisory committee. It is
important to know that the committee recommendations
are designed to be meaningful for students and sensitive to
teacher time constraints (will not be needlessly reliant on
excessive paperwork).
Please find a link to the document that outlines the committee
recommendations.
http://www.mediafire.com/?g1ry1wagm99u9d0
The committee is still working on this important task.

may provide your input through the following link:

Emerging Perspectives | Connecting Teaching, Learning, and
Research
The 2012 NAEA National Convention theme focuses on the
idea that we are better educators when we collaboratively
explore what it means to be teachers and learners, and
how research can improve visual arts education spanning
all educational levels and environments. We have many
perspectives and one focal point: the power of visual arts
education to fulfill human potential.
In New York City, NAEA will mark its 65th anniversary, and
celebrate as our past, present, and future come together.
What better place to celebrate who we are as artists and
educators than New York City—the great melting pot—the
arts capital of the world!
The value of any conference can be measured by the
connections we make, with people and ideas. I invite you to
join us at the 2012 NAEA National Convention and make
those connections!
