Postcard from the President |
|
The beginning of a new year is the perfect time to remember that success is accomplished one step at a time. This is true not only for us as visual art leaders, but for our students as well. I came across an article recently that helped clarify this experience. The article Cultivating Confidence by Angela Duckworth describes the importance of creating a series of challenges that become incrementally more difficult than the last. This is how we strengthen our own leadership skills, develop expertise, and design rigorous curricula providing students with more and more successes while gaining confidence. Psychologist Albert Bandura researched and wrote about how designing these types of experiences for our students and ourselves can strengthen self-efficacy. These carefully designed mastery experiences are, I think, at the core of many transformative experiences.
Use 2021 to channel your passions into your art and make your student’s artworks shared. Participate in the K-12 Student Art Assessment & Virtual Exhibition to creatively persevere through this COVID-19 year. Include your remote students by celebrating their energy, imaginations, and artistic accomplishments. Make the most out of your year by highlighting the stories and artworks created through challenging times.
As we head into Black History Month, let us remember our combined state and national efforts to establish a platform statement signifying that Arts are Essential. Use this unified statement from the arts leaders in Florida to advocate for strengthening support for arts education in schools. Focus on moving equity and diversity into meaningful exchanges with community representatives and school management teams.
Make plans today and reserve time to collaborate with the FAEA Annual Conference, October 14-17, 2021 at the beautifully elegant Caribe Royale in Orlando. Safe distancing while conferencing is one of our designs for this conference, and Caribe Royale is providing “a state of the art” conference center for our professional learning. Final plans for our inclusive spring and summer professional development programming is currently being solidified with a remarkable emphasis on creativity, innovation, and immersive experiences. Keep an eye out for our social media posts or visit our Virtual Learning webpage for more details.
