Summer 2010

2010 ART-Making SUMMER Retreat
Preparing Art Lessons with 21st Century Skills for a New School Year


On August 23-25, 2010 (Mon-Wed), participants will gather at the Rensselaerville Institute and spend three days creating original artwork and developing materials that include 21st Century Skills, both digital and traditional, for their classrooms.

Developed especially for art teachers, this retreat will allow the participants to immerse themselves in their artwork, either traditional or digital medium, share in group critiques and look at ways to strengthen the activity for the classroom. This year we will focus on the 21st Century Skills, what is already being done and how better to embed them in curricula. Participants will be given the opportunity to observe, investigate, explore and link to technology with the intent to see how digital media may enhance and strengthen instructional strategies.

Participants will have access to the Internet to locate resources; access to film and flatbed scanners to input materials; use of digital cameras for the making and recording of artwork; and access to CD burners to store materials. Technical assistance will be ongoing to be sure teachers are not derailed because of computer problems.

For Technology Curriculum Writing, participants should bring ideas for lesson plans and any materials they need to develop them participants should have basic computer skills.

For Art Making, participants should bring the medium of your choice.

There will be ample time for working on your own artwork as well as networking with others about artwork and 21st Century Skills applications. Join your colleagues to discuss your work and digital possibilities.

PREPARATION FOR THE SUMMER ART MAKING RETREAT:

·  Identify materials and resources you need to bring for the Summer Institute
·  Determine key objectives and outcomes, which each teacher considers most important
·  In preparation for the retreat, please let Peter know what kind of hardware/software you will need and what you will bring.

Instructors: Peter Taylor graduated from the Art Institute of Boston in 1981. He worked as a photojournalist for Picture Group Photo Agency shooting news stories for publication in Europe and the US. In 1986 he shifted into commercial photography shooting for clients such as Johnson & Johnson, General Electric and Hearst Publishing. After seeing an image he had produced mysteriously altered on the cover of a magazine, he decided to investigate the filed of digital artwork. He locked himself in his studio with a computer and Adobe Photoshop. When he emerged, he hadn't helped his business or sanity, but had a new found respect for digital imaging. In 1991 he taught at the Adirondack Community College and in 1993 became a fulltime teacher of photography and computer graphics at the WSWHE BOCES in Saratoga Springs.

Sharon Siegel is an artist, illustrator, former director of the Albany School of Visual Arts and supervisor of art student teachers for the College of St. Rose, and currently Arts Coordinator for the Capital Region BOCES Arts Educators Network. She has led many professional development activities for regional artists and art teachers.
