ConnectionA PUBLICATION OF THE CENTER FOR ART AND EDUCATION SPRING 2012

GFWC Women’s League of Van Buren honored the Center for Art and Educa-tion with an achievement award rec-ognizing their “Wonderful World of Art” and “Art-A-Rama” summer camps. The summer program is offered in eight communities and provides a week long art experience. The Women’s League also expressed their appreciation for the cultural experiences offered to the community for the past 35 years.

ART CENTER HONORED

Women’s League President Cathy Gifford pres-ents the certificate to the director of the center, Jane Owen.

The two-day arts summit was held at the Clinton Presidential Library, in Little Rock, AR. It was presented by the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and the cen-ter’s DeVos Institute of Arts Management. Bill Clinton was the keynote speaker on April 17.

The Summit provided practical training for board members and arts administrators. Attendees brought back valuable information and knowledge including: how to achieve fundraising success, create an institutional image with impact, improve strategic financial planning, and develop and support effective marketing campaigns. This information will be vital as the Art Center continues to grow.

Thanks to our Sponsors!

Number thirteen was lucky for us this year as the Arts In Education (AIE) program continued to promote artistic experiences for the Van Buren School District (VBSD). Sharing, re-spect, and cooperation set the theme for this year’s program. A rich hands-on and exciting multi-sensory curricu-lum encouraged a positive work envi-ronment for students to explore core curriculum as they learned through music, drama, visual art, and creative writing. A different artist worked with Preschool through 4th grade students in the classroom setting to create and learn through the arts. Mary Overton worked with Preschool & Kindergarten in the fall as they observed and looked closely at things in nature. Valuable vocabulary was learned when the students be-came scientists for the week. Autumn leaves were drawn to study their veins and shapes. Afterwards, the students outlined the leaves with oil pastels and painted the leaves and background with watercolors. Some schools made autumn books using a multi-media technique. These books were based on the Eric Carle series. They turned out to be very precious keepsake for parents. Brian Kinder, the song mak-er upper, and his wife Terri worked on rhyming words, reading and writ-ing through music with the first grade students. Each group of first graders wrote their own song and performed during a school assembly at the end of the week. Classes had to work cooperatively to pick the subject for their song. Every school had a unique set of songs about pets, choo-choo trains, snowy days, crazy socks and even a scarecrow. A CD was made of

all 20 songs at each school and some are still available for purchase at the art center for $3.00. Brian and Terri also preformed in concert at the Fine Art Center located on the Van Buren High School campus. First grade also had a residen-cy with Mary Overton in the spring. They studied about Arkansas history and the Native Americans that lived here. The students discovered arti-facts and explored local legends. Mary sparked an interest in Native Amer-icans throughout the school district and it was amazing how much they learned and retained from her. The students then made a Native Ameri-can artifact to take home with them. A carrying pouch was made out of genuine leather complete with Indian symbols on them. The physical aspects of tab-leau has gained in popularity through-out the VBSD, especially with the sec-ond and third grade students. Jason Suel and Natalie Dreyer with Tricycle Theatre for Youth provided a memora-ble program as they taught Arkansas history. By acting out historical events, the students gained a further under-stand of the hardships, struggles, and triumphant events in history. With all this physical activity, you might think the classroom environment has been

turned up-side-down, but Jason and Natalie had everything under control. The students were calm and task driven. They were engaged and learn-ing the whole time. “Extremely beneficial,” this is how the fourth grade teachers de-scribed Clayton Scott’s program as he taught creative writing and poetry. The fourth grade students were so motivat-ed by Clayton’s inspiring stories and anecdotes that they got excited about writing. Students who never shared or spoke in front of the class found the confidence to stand up and be heard. Having Clayton at the beginning of the school year was the best way to start the writing program. Our community is truly blessed to have the school district support the AIE program. From the Fourth Grade Community Poetry Slam, teachers workshops, children’s concerts and special events like the “Digging Up Ar-kansas” performance, lucky thirteen was a great year.

ARTS IN EDUCATION

The 2012 5x5 was full of activities. The fundraiser began with a two day workshop with Barry Thomas. Ten students received personal instruc-tion from one of Arkansas’ most recognized artists and teachers. The workshop consisted of one day of still life instruction and a day of Plein Air instruction. Barry was not the only local artist participating in 5x5 activities, eight other artists joined in on the festivities at the 5x5 event. Winston Taylor was at the potter’s wheel throwing clay vessels. Ron Mynatt showed off his blown glass ware, Jaak Kindberg provided a fresh look into the world of sculp-ture and pastels, while Peter Pohle changed powder pigments into a landscape of color. Jason Sacran and Todd Williams showed us how an array of oil paint and the touch of an artists brush can transform a canvas into a work of art. Fiber artist, Jane Hartfield showed off her talent by turning fabric, yarn and embellishing into a work of art. One hundred and fifty artists created special works of art on a 5x5 canvas, giving each couple in attendance an opportunity to dash for their favorite piece of art. The food was catered by Talianos, on stage was a lovely string quartet organized by Pamela Rosales, accompanied by Alonvra Romero. After dinner guests could partake in the silent and live auc-tions. This year’s 5x5 Gala brought in $11,000 to support the activities of the Art Center. CAE would like to express our appreciation to the sponsors, guests, volunteers who painted 5x5 pieces of art, board members, and 5x5 Gala Committee members especially. A very special thanks to Jean Arends Allison, who worked endless hours on making the 5x5 a success.

We will close out the first half of the year with “The River Valley: People & Places,” provided by Dr Ray Wallace and Dr. Henry Rinne. The show will be featured, June 5-22, 2012. On Friday, June 8, there will be an opening recep-tion held at the Art Center.

In May, we chose three generations of the Hutcheson family. “Relative Con-nections,” an inspiring visual story of Dede Hutcheson, Robin Hutcheson Horn, Karen Hutcheson and grand chil-dren. “Medley of Art,” displayed in the Studio Gallery, showed us the world, through an eclectic color palette.

In February, Emily Wood opened our eyes to the wood canvas and the emo-tions of her subjects, in the main gal-lery. Greenwood Art Guild, displayed in the studio gallery, captivated us with an eclectic view of painting styles.

The year began with Linda Palmer, Maggie Malloy and Martha Efurd they gave our eyes a fresh start for the New Year. We encountered the calming col-ors from Linda, and Martha’s views of Arkansas and Europe, while Maggie’s bold bright abstract expressionist paintings woke up all the senses.

“The Nature of Things,” Carol Cooper’s journey of the exploration of watercol-or allowed us to view the bright pure color of nature, in March. In the Studio gallery, Subiaco Abbey artists’ had a contrast of photography, wood turning and calligraphy.

One of our largest events of the year, The River Valley Student Art Compe-tition, was held in April. We had 831 students enter their art work in this years competition. Hosting the event allowed us to wallpaper both galleries with the joy of children’s art.
