Work Crew
Today was the first day since March 13th that I have seen my colleagues in person! We definitely looked a little different with our face masks, but what a wonderful sight! Our regional Scholastic Art show was featured in a gallery at the local community college in February. We were lucky enough to have the reception and awards night before the world was put on pause. Our community shut down here on March 13th, leaving the exhibition up until now. We were finally given clearance to take down the show this week, so today we met and happily masked uninstalled the show. I can honestly say, I was thrilled when my alarm sounded off this morning! I miss my fellow art teachers.

Putting it All Together
This has been a busy couple of weeks and the last few days have been joyously intense! We have been busily putting together the Fairfax Region Scholastic Art Exhibition. The show opens on Thursday this week at the Ernst Cultural Center.
The artwork was delivered last Friday. We checked in over 300 artworks, labeled and packed them. Today they were delivered to the gallery and an amazing team of art educators came to help hang the show! Eight teachers worked in pairs to dress the walls! Such a productive way to connect with colleagues surrounded by inspiring student artwork!
Tomorrow we return to the gallery with a new team of art educators and fresh eyes to look over today's result, label all the artwork, install the animations, sculpture and ceramics portion of the show and add finishing touches!
In case I have not mentioned it, art teachers are made of steel and have the best hearts and strongest work ethic! This show would not happen without their passion and participation on so many levels!

Spotlight on Education
came to school to interview Razan!
This was such a cool experience!
Rich captured this screen shot of me from the interview,
so much fun to have 15 minutes of fame!
I am so lucky that I get to teach what I love and spend time with amazing young creative and curious people!
I am especially looking forward to attending the awards ceremony in June at
Carnegie Hall in New York City to celebrate all of the amazing young artists and writers!
Monday
Gold!!!
Incredible teacher moment for me today!!!
My student Razan Elbaba was recognized by the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards for her visual art portfolio. She was awarded a GOLD KEY PORTFOLIO at the Regional level and then, today, Gold Medal at the NATIONAL level! She is one of eight in the nation to receive this award in 2016! This is a tremendous honor and I am proud of her!
These students are identified by panels of creative professionals as the most talented young artists and writers in the nation! This year, nearly 320,000 works of art and writing were submitted. Only the top 1% were recognized at the national level! We will be traveling to New York City in June to attend an awards ceremony at Carnegie Hall!
The Scholastic Art and Writing Awards, presented by the Alliance for Young Artists and Writers, is the largest, longest-running recognition program of its kind in the United States. Established in 1923, the awards have recognized students who have become some of our nation’s most celebrated artists, including Richard Avedon, Robert Indiana, Phillip Pearlstein, and Andy Warhol. Visual arts categories include architecture, art portfolio, ceramics and glass, comic art, design, digital art, drawing, editorial cartoon, fashion, film and animation, jewelry, mixed media, painting, photography, printmaking, sculpture, and video game design. More than 300,000 students participate in the program across the country.
