CAEA Northern Area Book Club Event
Session II
Thursday, June 30, 2022
5-6 pm
|
|
Join CAEA Northern Area for the second session of a Northern Area Book Club that will be available to all CAEA members on Thursday June 30th, from 5-6 pm. The book we will be discussing is bell hooks' "Art On My Mind".
In "Art on My Mind", bell hooks, a leading cultural critic, responds to the ongoing dialogues about producing, exhibiting, and criticizing art and aesthetics in an art world increasingly concerned with identity politics. Always concerned with the liberatory black struggle, hooks positions her writings on visual politics within the ever-present question of how art can be an empowering and revolutionary force within the black community.

CAEA Survey Meets with Approval
“We’ve needed this for a long time,” said Patty Taylor as she reviewed the new CAEA survey.
Taylor, now a successful artist working in Sacramento, was the Program Coordinator for Visual and Performing Arts at the California State Department of Education. While editor of CAEA’s Painted Monkey, the
newsletter received NAEA’s award of excellence for two years in a row.
In preparation for the launch of the CAEA Membership Survey, Committee Chair Lee Hanson met (in person or online) with past and current members to talk about the project and get their thoughts on the focus and format.
The Survey was launched in early June; multiple email blasts are planned
throughout the summer to inform CAEA members about the project.

Long-Time CAEA members Patty Taylor and Dr. Lee Hanson discuss the Membership Survey after lunch at the Getty Villa. |
The final report, scheduled for release in early 2023, will be the culmination of three years of data retrieval and analysis to discover trends, establish better communication with members, and determine ways to increase CAEA membership.

Studio Challenge
August 2022–June 2023
Open to all NAEA Design Interest Group (DIG) Members
The Studio Challenge is a year-long Professional Learning Community of learners and leaders exploring the visionary role of human-centered design in guiding participants in the creative problem-solving process of design thinking, an inventive process through which problems are identified, solutions produced, and the results evaluated.
SummerStudio: Design Thinking 2022 participants will be invited to apply to take part in this yearlong learning community.
Earn money while you learn! Selected applicants will document their progress as they work through their challenges and will be paid to participate, research, practice, and publish their work as they design their solutions. They will study their own practices and ultimately publish a template for design practice or create a toolbox for teacher reference so that others might learn from their experiences. Those members who complete all of the year’s activities will receive compensation
Applications will be made available at the virtual SummerStudio: Design Thinking StudioChallenge Kickoff event on July 12, 2022. Participants unable to attend the kickoff event may request an application from Cindy Todd (cindytodd@ferris.edu) or Rande Blank (randefblank@comcast.net) after July 12, 2022.

Don’t Let Accreditation Rules Stop You From Getting the PD You Deserve
Courtesy of
The Art of Education University
Maybe Pablo Picasso didn’t really say, “Learn the rules like a pro so you can break them like an artist,” but that doesn’t change the fact that this is great advice!
On the road to professional development, teachers encounter all kinds of obstacles. The obvious ones, of course, are time and money. But have you ever considered how “the rules of the game” might present the biggest obstacle of all? Art teachers know what it takes to inspire students to find the confidence and perseverance necessary to overcome obstacles and embrace the journey. But sometimes, just knowing the rule is the most important step in finding a way through it.
