KAEA
Members:
Remember
you can also enter an additional work of art into the KAEA Virtual YAM Gallery.
Send
those entries to Kate Miller at kmiller@usd415.org
In
the subject line, put Virtual Gallery. Include a jpeg of the art
work (1 for 2-D work and up to 3 for 3-D work from different angles), student
name, grade, art work title, medium, school name and your name.
We
will choose three entries to win prizes and some of the virtual
gallery entries will be printed, matted and displayed at the National Youth
Art Month Gallery in San Diego during the NAEA Convention.
Youth
Art MONTH
Help
Kansas celebrate the visual arts by putting up an art display in your
school, a school board meeting or somewhere in your community. Make
sure that you mention that March is Youth Art Month.
Add some advocacy
materials and put up the National Visual Arts Standards. Call your local
paper or add something to your school website, newsletter, or newspaper.
Get some coverage for your students and your art program....be your own
best advocate! Share all of your accomplishments with us by
documenting what you have done and send that information to Megan
Wendleton at meganwendleton@hotmail.com so that we can
include you in our YAM report.
Lastly,
I would like to thank all of you who spend countless hours encouraging
Kansas kids to embrace their inner artists. YOU are making a difference in student's lives!
Let's
Celebrate Youth Art Month together!!
Creative
Vibes and Happy Art Making!
