Ceebrating Diversit troug Common Ground

The annual state-wide fall conference is an opportunity to gather

with other educators to share, learn, be inspired, connect, renew,

relax, and refocus. The theme of this year celebrates the diversity

that the arts provide usthrough media, subject matter, style,

or interpretation. It also afrms that the arts bring us together

through a shared love of creativity, a celebration of the human

spirit, and the joy of inspiration.

The day-long workshops, presentations and our keynote artist,

Carrie Mae Weems, will present a variety of experiences to

connect with you on different levels. Dont miss it!

Over the past twenty-

ve years, Weems has

produced provocative,

beautiful, and nuanced

photographs, lms, and in-

stallations. She began her ca-

reer in the late 1970s, looking

to her own family in exploring

contemporary African Ameri-

can identity. Her narra-

tive soon broadened to

general aspects of theAfrican Diaspora, from

the legacy of slavery to

the perpetuation of de-

bilitating stereotypes and

nourishing folk traditions, rep-

resented through a combina-

tion of image and text. Today

Weems continues to address

struggles of empowerment

and oppression.Weems has also exhibited

throughout the United States

and internationally for more

than twenty years, and has

had solo and group shows

at The Museum of Modern

Art, the International Center

of Photography, the J. Paul

Getty Museum, The High

Museum of Art, The WalkerArt Center, and The Whitney

Museum. The Frist Center

for the Visual Arts will exhibit

the rst retrospective of her

work from September 21,

2012-January 13, 2013.

Jim Dodson, Tennessee Arts

Academy Director, writes

This summer we had a ter-

ric time at the TennesseeArts Academy. In addition to

having our rst TennesseeArt Education Association

member exhibition this was the second yearTAEA sponsored Tennessees Best of the BestStudent Art Exhibition. During the night of the

recognition reception over 150 students, parents,and Art educators attended the reception. Several

TAEA members received monetary awards forhaving their work selected as Best of Show,

First, Second, Third and Honorable Mention inthe exhibit and students were again recognized

for having their work displayed in The LeuCenter for Visual Arts. Over 275 participantsattended the Tennessee Arts Academy this

summer with around 100 enrolled in the visualarts component. Participants received instruc-

tion in a wide range of topics including APportfolio development as well as printmakingand ceramics from a group of ve instructors

brought to the academy from across the na-tion. In the elementary/lower middle division

Pearl Krepps taught printmaking for elementaryand lower middle grades while Pam Stephens

had a section entitled Dropping In On the

Tennessee Arts Academy. Workshop ses-sions in our upper middle school/secondary

division included David and Tracy Gamble whotaught clay teapots and mask-making and Gary

Snidecorwhose session was titled Handfuls ofIdeas for Drawing and Painting in the Advanced

Placement Program.

Two of the highlights of the Academy came when

TAEA member and Past-President FlowerreeGaletovic received the Tennessee Arts Academy

Lifetime Achievement Award as well as receivingBest of Show in the TAEA member art exhibi-

tion. A second highlight came when we enjoyed aperformance by Oscar winnerMarvin Hamlisch whoreceived the Distinguished Service Award from

the Tennessee Arts Academy. Finally, I would liketo thank my wonderful facilitators who worked so

hard to make this academy one of the best: Debbie

Flynt, Ken Snyder, Kim Shamblin, Cassie Stevens, Libby

Lynch and Tina Atkinson for coming in and providingher display unit to showcase our wonderful artworkthat the participants created this summer.

school year on the right foot! We realize this will be a toughyear on all teachers, hopefully this will give you enough time

to focus on this contest. We should stand united to focus onthe importance of art education in the community. SargentArt will be sponsoring prizes again this year. The winning ag

designer and teacher will win a paid trip to New York! Firstplace prizes in elementary, middle and high school, students

and teachers, will be awarded supplies from Sargent Art.

The theme of Art Reects the Soul, conveys how art connectsdiversity, as well as individuality. Remember this is a visual artag contest for the WHOLE state of Tennessee. Each region

(middle, east, and west) should be represented. Please do notallow students to concentrate on music more than visual art.

During the school year please send us pictures, and informationon special events and activities that promote art education.Newspaper clippings, school newsletters, or radio ads that

Middle Region ConferenceF R i S t C e n t e R F o R t h e A R t S , n A S h v i l l e M A y 2 1 , 2 0 1 1

Andrea Steele, Middle TN rep, writes

Creative Craft Communit

On May 21, the Middle Region TAEA Summer Confer-ence was held in Nashville at the Frist Center for theVisual Arts. This full-day event provided an opportunityfor art educators to connect with members of the local

craft community through interactive demonstrations and a hands-on workshop. Conference sessions allowed participants to get to

know three artists, examine their creative processes, and learnapplications for teaching students of all ages and skill levels.

The conference highlight-ed Cheekwoods popular

Craft Outreach programand featured three of their

demonstration artists Te-resa Hays, Brenda Stein, andVickie Vipperman. Teresa

Hays, who specializes intextiles, taught an engag-

ing hands-on workshop inwhich participants learneda variety of techniques for marbling paper and fabric. Brenda Stein

and Vickie Vipperman brought their art forms (woodturning andweaving) to life through dynamic demonstrations. With all eyes on

them, Brenda skillfully transformed a piece of wood into a beauti-ful vase and spinning top, and Vickie used her hand-dyed yarns to

create an intricately woven scarf.

Throughout the day, these three artists imparted a great deal of

knowledge and skill that can be applied to both classroom teach-ing and personal art-making. Yet, what seemed to resonate most

with the group was the artists passion for art and their desire toeducate. This common interest resulted in an energetic dialoguethat left everyone feeling inspired and rejuvenated.

These types of experiences sustain us in our work as art educationprofessionals, and we extend a special thanks to our sponsors

for supporting the professional growth of TAEA members.
