Arts Educator Resources This fall has had a “flurry” of

activities. (Sorry for the poten-

tial snow reference for those

not ready for winter.) There

have been many conferences in

place, online monthly chats,

face to face sessions, institutes

of learning, and conferences

around the state. This issue

offers a look at those activities and provides

several resources for your use. The articles

and links may be helpful in your work with

your professional development plans.

Please keep me posted on additional items

your network and to share ideas.

Thank you again for your work in

arts education. Please continue

we can enhance arts education in Wisconsin

family special times in 2016 and a

happy 2017. -Julie

Title: Proportional Grid Drawing Keith Haring Style Submitted by: Kate Clausius of Spring Hill Middle School in the Wisconsin Dells School District Description: Creativity is something students love especially when their teacher gets creative with the project. Seventh grade students at Spring Hill Middle School learn about Keith Haring in their art class. This year I coordinated with the library to have students paint the windows. The lesson was planned when students were learning proportional relationships in math class and creating scaled models in STEM. Students were paired in groups of three or four and worked to draw a Keith Haring image in proportion to the size of the school library windows using a

grid system. This drawing was the rough draft and was taped to the inside of the window and stu-dents then began painting with tempera paint on the outside of the window. The students have been so engaged and are seeing first hand how they can apply what they are learning in math in real life. Not only have the students learned to draw in proportion using a grid, they have also learned how important working as a team is. This project supports standards A.8.1, C.8.6, and I.8.7.

From the Field — Here are lesson ideas from Wisconsin Arts Teachers. Feel free to

email each person with additional questions about their ideas. If you would like to share a strategy for

future newsletters, please submit these at the “From the Field.”

The Year of Shakespeare in Wisconsin 2016 is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the impact and im-

portance of William Shakespeare and his work with your students during the 400th anniversary of his

death. Shakespeare’s influence in all the artistic areas cannot be understated. Whether it is music, visual

arts, dance, or drama - Shakespeare has left his indelible mark on what we do every day. There are many

wonderful activities and ready-made lesson plans available online at Shakespeare in Wisconsin for Educa-

tors. For more information or if you are interested in creating a special “shakespearience” for your district,

contact Ron Parker, Shakespeare in Wisconsin 2016 K-12 Education Coordinator, at parkerron-

aldc@aasd.k12.wi.us. Details

This year’s 26th festival was hosted by UW - Stevens Point. The event highlighted high school theatre performances and tech crew sessions in addition to having theatre-focused workshops for students within the three day festival. Check the Wisconsin High School Theatre Festival website for additional details and to find out how your school may participate in next year’s festival. Registration information will be updated soon.
