Here I am again. I didn't realize how long it had been since I'd logged in here.
I've been so busy that a lot of things fell by the way side. I've been on my school's Shared Decision Making Committee for the past three years and I've been one of three area representatives for Area 6 of Texas Art Education Association for the past six years. I'm lead specialist/core enrichment teacher on my campus and I've spent this last year serving on the Student Performance Work Group for my district. I was chosen TAEA Elementary Division Outstanding Art Educator of the Year for 2011.
There's been a lot more going on than all of this, but what I'm really excited about right now is the opportunity to go to Spain this summer courtesy of the Fund for Teachers. I'll be in Catalonia to study Spanish, Catalan, Modernist architecture, particularly Antoni Gaudí, and the lives and work of Pablo Picasso, Joan Miró, and Salvador Dalí. I'll be focusing on the ceramic and mosaic works of these artists. I plan to use Barcelona as my base of operations with trips to Reus, Mont-roig, Figueres, Cadaqués, and Mallorca.
Once back stateside I'll be developing lessons for my art room incorporating ceramics, mosaics, math and science.
Stay tuned, the journey has only barely begun.
