2013 WAEAConference
The Wisconsin Art Education Association is pleased to announce its 2013 Fall Conference will be hosted at Christ Church
Cathedral in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. You are probably wondering why is this conference at a cathedral? We booked our
original space two years ago but found out it was double booked. We are very fortunate that the cathedral is down the
street and it is spacious; everything and everyone will be under one roof.
This year’s theme is Out of the Ordinary, Out of the Bag! The location is not the only thing out of the ordinary for this
conference. It is our hope that this conference will rejuvenate and inspire you. We have vendor time set aside for everyone
so we encourage you to check out the latest and greatest art tools and resources.
Our WAEA featured keynotes are two outstanding and innovative speakers, Kathryn Rulien-Bareis and Jessica Balsley.
Thursday will feature the out of the ordinary fi rst time ever “hands-on keynote” presentation by B Able To, Inc. CEO,
inventor, entrepreneur, and art educator Kathryn Rulien-Bareis, www.bableto.com. Kathryn is well known for her
Universal Design for students with special needs and has presented nationally. Friday will feature Jessica Balsley a
passionate art educator, graduate instructor, wife, mother, and entrepreneur. She is most well known as the founder
of “The Art of Education” (www.theartofed.com), a popular online professional development resource for art teachers.
Jessica will also be doing breakout sessions during the day on Friday.
Along with our keynotes, we off er sessions that include hands on workshops and presentations that will spark your
creativity. You will have an opportunity to catch up with art friends during lunch (lunch is provided with conference
registration). During lunch we will once again do Jen’s famous BINGO, for fabulous door prizes. Eau Claire Sculpture Tour,

8:15 am-8:50 amReinventing the ArtroomKathryn Rulien-Bareis, B Able To, Inc. CEO, inventor, entrepreneur and art educator
Kathryn Rulien-Bareis teaches art at DeLong Middle School in
Wisconsin. While working with students who have diverse abilities, she
began to invent tools with a Universal Design. In 2004 Kathryn started
her own business, B Able To, Inc. to encourage more accessibility and
independence in visual art. She has invented and manufactured her
fi rst tools in a line of universal tool designs, Adapt-A-Cut® and
Adapt-A-Hold™.
Kathryn’s teaching experiences include teaching art to students from
ages 3 to senior citizens. She has had the opportunity to work within
six diff erent school districts in Wisconsin. In 1990 while she completed
her Adaptive Art Certifi cation at the Young Artist Workshops in De Pere,
Kathryn fell in love with the program and continued commuting from
Eau Claire to De Pere for ten summers. She was employed as a visual
arts teacher, site coordinator and also taught graduated level classes for
St. Norbert. Kathryn will admit that the students within this summer
program taught her more about diverse learning than any other
learning environment she had encountered.
Kathryn has had the opportunity to present at local, state, national and
international educational conferences. Her presentations include topics
of new technologies, adaptive art, assistive technology, and universal
design for the art room. But she has also presented to area business
organizations too. She has shared art ideas to activity directors at
senior retirement centers, discussed packaging designs to
entrepreneurs and presented a creative journey keynote for a
women’s business conference.
“As an art teacher my goal is to allow all of my students various
opportunities to communicate their ideas creatively with independence.
It is independent expression that motivates us to learn more.”

8:15 am-8:50 am The Empowered Art TeacherJessica Balsley, founder of “The Art of Education” www.theartofed.com, art educator, graduate instructor and entrepreneur
Jessica Balsley is a passionate art educator, graduate instructor, wife,
mother, and entrepreneur. She is most well known as the founder
of “The Art of Education” (www.theartofed.com), a popular online
professional development resource for art teachers. Jessica loves to
share her wealth of experience gained serving as a K-5 Art Teacher
in the second fastest growing school district in Iowa. There, she also
served as her district’s Art Department Coordinator for three years,
designing and implementing professional development for the K-12 Art
Team, while simultaneously teaching graduate courses as an adjunct
instructor for local college and writing for Arts and Activities Magazine.
Jessica has served on the Art Educators of Iowa board and worked on
several committees including planning the 2011 AEI State Conference
and is on NAEA’s IRG Committee. Today, Jessica lives in Osage, IA with
her husband Derek and their 2 year-old daughter, Nora.
While writing her Master’s Thesis on Professional Development for Art
Teachers, Jessica realized that art teachers needed and deserved more
when it came to their professional development. She decided to stop
sitting on the sidelines and do something about it. Thus, her current
endeavor (where she is now devoted to full time) The Art of Education,
was born. Jessica provides “Ridiculously Relevant™ Professional
Development” to Art Educators all around the world, including a robust
catalog of 14+ online degree-level classes for Art Teachers, an online
magazine which off ers free daily articles, lesson plans, tips, tricks,
videos, and discussions about the hottest issues in art education.
With a down to earth and realistic approach, Jessica continues on
her lifetime goal of empowering art teachers to thrive in their
profession, to reignite their passion for teaching, and help art
educators discover small tweaks they can make in their teaching
to change their life and career for the better.

Jill LaGrange - Summit Elementary School,
Oconomowoc
Wisconsin Art Educator of the Year
Jill La Grange is an art educator who is proud to
have been nominated by fellow colleagues Leah
Robertson, Suellyn Shellpepper, Mel Pontious, Virgi
Driscoll and Dani Graf to receive the Wisconsin Art
Educator of the Year Award.
“The signifi cance of this prestigious award is given to teachers with exceptional
skill, life long dedication to the arts and young people, to people who believe
art has the power to transform. Ms. Jill LaGrange is the perfect candidate; she
has put students and art at the center of almost every task she has set before
her. Even in situations when adults haven’t considered asking them, including
them, or learning from them, Jill was always the one that said, ‘Lets have the
students do it!’”
“Under Jill LaGrange’s endless and unselfi sh commitment, students from
kindergarten through twelfth grade have engaged in school wide art
projects from murals to student initiated galleries. Jill has uncanny ability to
integrate traditional subjects such as reading, math, social studies or science
into meaningful classroom or community art adventures. Always on the
cutting edge of innovative art education, Jill has created with her students
technologically savvy computer generated art which captivates the fi ve year
old kindergartener to the ninety year old grandparent, stimulating imagination
and long term art appreciation.” Suellyn Shellpepper
“Her leadership capabilities extend beyond the classroom into the community
and statewide. She was and is involved in many community projects to advance
the arts. On the state level, she presented meaningful current art sessions at
conferences and workshops in her professional organizations over the years.
She served as president of Wisconsin Art Education Association
and, as such, served on the NAEA Delegates Assembly. She continues to
be eff ective working hard in her position as Past-President of WAEA. These
experiences made her an even better art educator who could defend and
advocate for art education and its creative and intellectual promises to
students.” Virgi Driscoll
