Postcard from the President

I am so excited about the month of March! We have Youth Art Month (YAM) and the National Art Education Association (NAEA) Convention
in Minneapolis, MN. Thanks to Chrissy Schebilski (Local Art Education Assembly Representative), Michael Ann Elliott (Member-at-Large), and Jenny Abdelnour (Center for Fine Arts Education) for producing and implementing our social media take-overs all month long. This advocacy effort is to increase public awareness of the importance of art education in our state. We are extremely fortunate to have these creative leaders initiate this exciting new programming for all members. Keep your eye out on social media to see exemplary educators share their experiences in the studio art classroom.
Heading out to Minnesota in late March will revitalize the passion for learning at the NAEA convention. Part of my work, in collaboration with Nancy Puri, President-Elect, will include a day of Delegates Assembly with state representatives around North America. The work is highly detail-oriented as we review policy and create a new pathway for professional learning for 2020-2021. The work includes networking with state leaders and recognizing the excellence in the Southeastern Region. As part of the celebration, each state brings a YAM Flag design to hang in the student gallery. FAEA is proud to announce the winner for the state of Florida, 11th grader Sureily Marestein, and her teacher, Gerald Obregon.
FAEA is also extremely proud to announce that Dr. Jeff Broome, FAEA’s Higher Education Division Director, will receive the National Higher Education Art Education Award recognizing excellence in education and service to our profession.
Summer professional learning is in full development with two Master Series workshops. Florida State University Art Education Department and Lab School will help FAEA kick off the summer programming on June 5th and 6th with the first Master Series. On June 11th and 12th, the University of Florida Art Education Department, in collaboration with the Harn Museum, will welcome FAEA for the second Master Series for a special Collage Collison Workshop Series focused on a special exhibition by Maggie Taylor. Hands-on experiences are being designed by Kymberly Moreland-Garnett, Heather Hagy, Christy Garton, and Miriam Machado for our one-day intensive learning ArtLabs that will occur throughout the summer. Rounding out our summer offerings is the inaugural Creative Leadership Workshop at the Ringling College of Art and Design, which will be on July 27th and 28th. More information and full descriptions will be available in early April. Keep FAEA in your summer plans for professional learning with exemplary art educators around the state.
As we close out the month of March and recognize the exceptional student art experiences we provide for students every day, begin thinking about presenting at the 2020 FAEA Annual Conference. We are working to create a robust conference with many new and returning workshops to provide a rewarding and engaging conference event. We need you to start thinking of a topic, idea, and/or strategy that you would like to share. The pathways to learning give way to three specific types of sessions: hands-on workshops (90 mins); art forums (50 mins); and demonstration sessions (30 mins). Start thinking through a creative new idea and remember co-presenting is also a great way to dive into the conference leadership of FAEA.
Dr. Jackie Henson-Dacey
FAEA President
