A Note from Our President-Elect
Hello friends and colleagues!
 
We had several people encourage a friend to join last year and one lucky person has free registration to conference this year in Wilmington!  Let's do it again.  For every NEW member you get to join (have them put your name down when it asks if anyone recommended you).  I will put your name in a drawing every time someone signs up for free registration to 2018's conference!  The more that sign up, the higher your chances of winning!  Good luck!

  Region 5 Spring Professional Development

We are thrilled to be this year’s Region 5 NCAEA co-chairs. We will be having a Saturday workshop May 20th with the dynamic, Joyce Teta at the Old Church in Bethania. 

JOYCE TETA founded Calligraphy Centre in 1984 in the Triad and is well-known for her enthusiastic teaching, especially working with children. She is an artist and teacher, encouraging many with her generous open studio approach as well as regularly scheduled workshops. She is one of the most inclusive practitioners, always looking for ways for others to join the fun/movement..
Joyce was been introduced to calligraphy as a teenager in an all- girl school convent in London. She has been a devotee and practitioner ever since. She loves letters in all forms, but has specialized in learning proper book-making techniques, hence the moniker: calligrapher & bookartist. Clients such as Maya Angelou and the W-S Mayor have commissioned her work and her work sells regularly at exhibitions

We will be exploring and creating paste papers and book making.  It will be a fun and creative day. Looking forward to seeing you in Winston-Salem!

Hello Region 6!  Alicia Waters and Natalie Friedl here, Region co-chairs-elect. We would like to introduce ourselves to you, as we once had the privilege of teaching together, and have developed a wonderful professional relationship since.

Says Alicia - Let me introduce my friend Natalie. She currently teaches at Torrence Creek Elementary in Huntersville (Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools), and this is her 13th year! I’ve always seen her passion in collaborating with others and her willingness to share ideas with all disciplines. She’s a great advocate for all the arts.

Says Natalie - My partner in art, Alicia, is in her 6th year of teaching, currently at Grand Oak Elementary-- also in Huntersville. Her heart shows dedication for students with disabilities in the art room, and I greatly appreciate her creativity, organization and compassion.  

Please consider joining at least one professional learning network, which is a great place for all art educators to get support, advice and ideas:

- Facebook has an NCAEA page, and an Art Teacher page which is a closed group for protection and there is an Elementary Art Teachers facebook page as well. Please request to join.

- Instagram is another platform to get ideas and show off all your hard work and successes.  Please follow us @ mrsfriedldeedle and @_ms.waters_

-Twitter is also a social media source with many art educators to follow.  NAEA and Artsonia are just a few to follow.                    

Something to look forward to is our Spring PD in Charlotte. We are in the planning stages of this but plan to work on a variety of project ideas that were suggested at the Fall-2016 NCAEA conference. We are encouraging your input.  If you have an idea or would like to showcase a lesson or technique, please contact us anytime...Now’s your chance to shine!
