ART COLLABORATION
Emily Pichette, Student Rep
During the months of October through December
of 2008 an exciting collaboration took place at
West Warwick High School. It began with Jess Puerini, special education teacher who received a grant from VSAarts of Rhode Island, allowing
us to have an artist come work for an extended period of time on a collaboration project. Jess
and Brianne Ryan’s self-contained life skills students and Susan Sward’s advanced art studio
students worked alongside Kate Sanders-Fleming, the
chosen artist, to create a permanent piece of art work – a
mural – leaving a wonderful legacy at WWHS. Fortytwo people worked on this collaboration to create the
mural – that’s eighty-four hands working on one piece
of art work! This artwork has a lot of meaning to many:
the special-education students finally feel they’re a part of
WWHS now. It opened the eyes of many in the school,
and even in the community, to the reality that students
who may not otherwise
have the opportunity to
work together can successfully do so and form
lasting friendships with
each other.

SMITHSONIAN ON-LINE: TOPIC OF MIDDLE LEVEL ROUND TABLE EVENT
On March 25th a Middle Level Round Table session was held in
the computer lab at the Gaudet Middle School in Middletown,
Rhode Island. The workshop was attended by 14 art educators of
all levels. Featured was the 2007 Rhode Island Educator of the
year, Cathy Davis-Hayes. Trained by the Smithsonian Institution
in Washington, DC, Ms. Davis-Hayes demonstrated the many
faceted uses of the Institution’s enormous web site. Participants
were brought through a number of links for reference materials, lesson plan, and much,
much more. In just two short hours we got a glimpse of the infinite potential of the
Smithsonian’s on-line sites for art educators.
If you are a middle level art educator and would like e-mail notices for upcoming round
table/professional development opportunities during the 2009-2010 school year, please

RIAEA members attend at no cost, non-member fee is $20.

RIAEA IS #1 AT NAEA CONVENTION
RIAEA EXECUTIVE BOARD MEMBERS 2008 – 2009
Peter Geisser, Parliamentarian
PRESIDENT
of the Year. Loriann was introduced by Peter Geisser and
cheered on by her husband
and her son, Alex. Again,
the level of commitment and
excellence of RIAEA teachers impressed regional and
national leaders.
RIAEA wowed the NAEA
Convention this year with
awards. At Delegates Assembly the Youth Art Month
Awards were given to many
state affiliates, BUT the top
award in the nation was given
to Rhode Island’s own Mia
Thompson. Mia was asked to
say something to the Assembly
and eloquently spoke about
the work of Beth Schenck
who preceded her as YAM
coordinator and how RI art
teachers have gone out of their
way in these hard times to
advocate for their programs by Eastern Region Awards Ceremony:

Special Needs Art Education
Awards Ceremony, RIAEA was
recognized for having a State
Special Needs Award along
with Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa,
Nevada, North Carolina, New
Mexico, and Arizona.
The business of Delegates Assembly has drastically changed
in the past two years. NAEA
is creating a Platform, made of
Position Statements, that will
be the official policy of NAEA.
Please look to the NAEA website and to the NAEA Newsletter for a full explanation of this
process and other changes in
the governance in NAEA.
An exciting atmosphere of
change and openness dominated
this convention. Though Art
Education around the country is being challenged by the
economy, NAEA has never been
more supportive and advocating
of the work of art teachers.
In addition to these RI
contributions, John Chamberlin chaired meetings of the
Lesbian/Gay/Bisexual/Transgender Caucus where he has
served as Co-Chair for the
past two years. Peter Geisser
