What's The Story?
Massachusetts Art Education Association Conference
University of Massachusetts Amherst November 12-14, 2010
This year, the conference theme is: "What's the
Story?" It was selected because of the number of illustrators
living/working in the Amherst area. We expect that a lot of the workshops will
be based on creative interpretations of this theme. We are looking for
workshops with broad appeal for elementary, middle school, secondary, higher
ed., supervisory/administration, museum education, and 'all'. The
workshop proposal form is available thru the link below. Presenters receive one free conference registration per
workshop (sometimes people present in pairs or groups, and split the cost of
registration).
Registration information will be posted after we have
selected the workshops. Workshop proposals are due by September 15th. We
expect to have registration information available by early October.
Registration fees will be as follows:
MAEA & NAEA members $125.00
Non-Members of MAEA or NAEA $160.00
MAEA & NAEA Student & Retired Members $
45.00
Student & Retired Non-Members
$ 55.00
There is a University maintained hotel on campus, with reasonable
prices which includes underground garage parking. It is
conveniently located to the vendor area and workshops. The vendors will be
located in the area where the luncheon is being held, so it is convenient to
both the hotel and workshops. There are a number of other hotel and
sleeping accommodations in Amherst.

Featured Student
A student of Ms. Barbara Marder at the John F. Kennedy School,
Samantha Bukay-Souza, had her artwork selected for the program
cover of the Arts Education Partnership Fall National Forum,
"Charting a Course for the Arts in 21st Century Learning". On
Saturday October 3, 2009, she was awarded a certificate and a prize
for $100.00 at a reception held at The Hotel Marlowe, Cambridge,
MA. Ms. Marder was also recognized as her art teacher at the
Kennedy School. Currently Samantha is a student at Somerville High
School.
About 250 participants from around the country, including
representatives from K-12 schools; school districts; higher
education institutions;
foundations; arts, education and cultural organizations; and
federal agencies were at this forum. Notable local attendees
include Secretary of Education Paul Reville, the Associate
Commissioner for Education Policy at the Massachusetts Department
of Elementary and Secondary Education, David Haselkorn, and Dr.
Carol R. Johnson, Superintendent of the Boston Public Schools.
The award was presented by Bill O'Brien from the National Endowment
for the Arts based in Washington, DC.
AEP is a Washington D.C.-based coalition of more than 100
education, arts, government and philanthropic organizations that
promotes effective national, state and local policies supportive
of arts education. Established in 1994, AEP is administered by the
Council of Chief State School Officers and the National Assembly
of State Arts Agencies under a cooperative agreement with the
National Endowment for the Arts on behalf of both the Arts
Endowment and the U.S. Department of Education.
The contest was open to artists from ages 13-25. Samantha's art
work was a class assignment she completed in Ms. Marder's
classroom. The contest closed at the end of June, 2009, and the
winner was selected in July. Samantha is currently attending
Somerville High School and is enrolled in ceramics. She plans to
pursue her interests in art and in music. Barbara Marder is a K-8
art teacher in Somerville. She is a National Board Certified
teacher and has Massachusetts licensures in both K-12 art and arts
administration.

Have you recently completed a new body of artwork? Completed a hard-earned degree? Traveled to an interesting location to make art? Studied with an artist whose work you’ve admired from afar? Seen or been part of a wonderful exhibit? Read a great (art-related) book, or discovered some other resource that the rest of us should know about? Planning to teach a workshop where the rest of us can get PDPs? Been published?
Whatever your exciting news, we’d love to have it in this space!
