Congratulations to our LAST Art Teacher of the Month for 2020: Brianna Miller!

Brianna graduated from Northern Michigan University in December 2015 and was offered the K-12 position she still holds at Randolph School District in May of 2016.
When you have 5 year olds in the morning and 18 year olds in the afternoon, it's hard to have a boring day! The general chaos of the art room is part of what makes her love her job.
​She is constantly using her background in psychology to help her students navigate social-emotional issues, often through their art-making. Students know her classroom is a safe space for all, and it's not uncommon for art class to double as group therapy.

Congratulations to November's Art Teacher of the Month: Salena White!

​Salena graduated in 2005 from UW-River Falls with a Bachelor of Science in Art Education.  Her teaching career started in 2006 in Eagle River at the Northland Pines School District as a long term substitute teaching K-5 art at three elementary schools.  “My first teaching experience taught me to be super organized and to plan ahead.  Traveling to three different schools was a challenging experience, but it also allowed me to feel connected to so many students and staff members.”  Salena would stay the following year at Northland Pines as a paraprofessional for Title 1, and continue subbing in neighboring school districts.  

In 2011, she was hired at the Minocqua J1 School District as the K-8 art teacher, teaching over 650
students a week. In addition to teaching, she was the costume director for the drama department, taught community education classes after school, and coached middle school track and field.  Every spring she would showcase 1,200 works of art in conjunction with the school's STEAM night. “I loved working at MJ1!  It was wonderful to teach in the community where my family was.  Teaching middle school was a new experience for me, but taught me to embrace their goofy, awkwardness. Transitioning between kindergarten one hour, to 8th grade the next, definitely makes you flexible and appreciate each age!”
​

In 2016, after a big move across the state, Salena is currently teaching at the RIver Falls School District at Westside Elementary School.  Salena says, “It is wonderful being back in the Western region of the state.  I am blessed to be a part of the River Falls School District.  The school district and community have a love of the arts that is reflected throughout this beautiful little town.  Teaching at Westside has been a wonderful experience; it is where I belong.  When I am teaching, I feel in my element.  My hope is that I can create relationships with students that will last a lifetime.”

Stacey Hein is a 2010 graduate from
UW-Oshkosh with a degree in Art Education and Ceramics.  For 6 years Stacey taught K-6 at Oakfield Elementary.  For the past 4 years, Stacey has been teaching grades 6-12 at Markesan Middle/High School -- which is also her hometown district.  Her high school courses are typically filled with Ceramics and Glass Art, which are areas of interest for her students.  This past month, Ceramic 3 students worked on a raku firing.  Students created masks, lanterns and tiles with the opportunity to use the more traditional raku glazes or to use horse hair.  Students spent an entire day firing their creations!

Beyond the art room, Stacey has been an active member with the Wisconsin Art Education Association by attending and presenting at many conferences, creating artwork in her studio "Salemville Studios" where she focuses on ceramic works that incorporate a variety of textures, and collaborating with fellow artists several times a year to work on her personal art skills.

Born and Raised in Eau Claire Wisconsin, I received my Bachelors degree in Art and Design Education with a Minor in Art History from the University of Wisconsin Eau Claire in December of 2017. After Graduation I spent a semester getting my feet wet subbing in the Eau Claire and Fall Creek School Districts, before taking my current position as an elementary art teacher in the Wausau School District. In my role I travel between two wonderful schools and teach students in Kindergarten through 5th grade. As an art teacher I have had the opportunity to receive a grant to fund a paper making project to help connect my students with the local paper making industry, lead a school mural club, and present at the WIRED conference on the use of seesaw. In my free time I enjoy gardening, kayaking, and of course creating art!

Congratulations to Frank Korb: July's Art Educator of the Month!

Frank Korb: Artist
Biography - Frank Korb (b. 1972)

Frank Korb is known for his abstract and plein air works and focuses on the formality of the push and pull of the elements and principles of art in his work. Through the act of laying down the textures of bible pages to build a grid and real texture, he then adds colors, shapes, and additional texture as he considers the dynamics of the space in the picture plane and works toward a balance and harmony. While the intent with which Korb begins each work is important, he is equally concerned with the interpretation of the viewer regarding the relationships he creates within his work.

Frank has exhibited throughout Wisconsin in group exhibitions and arts performance events and has been an active member of the plein air community in Wisconsin.
Korb earned his Bachelor of Fine Art within graphic design and K-12 art education from the University of Wisconsin–Whitewater and his Masters of Art in Visual Studies from Cardinal Stritch University. He is an arts educator at Fort Atkinson High School, a former board member and Youth Art Month Chairperson of the Wisconsin Art Education Association, a member of the Milwaukee Artist Resource Network (MARN). He lives and works in Burlington, Wisconsin, with his wife Julie.

VIRTUAL ALL ARTS DAY at Oconto Falls Elementary School

5/2/2020

Please join the fun and share with your students!
VIRTUAL ALL ARTS DAY at Oconto Falls Elementary School is for EVERYONE!
The goal of this day is to provide enrichment and awareness of the four Fine Arts for students in grades 4K-5. Dance, Theater, Music and Art are the focus for the entire day! (Virtual responses are only art & music this year though.)

With the "safer at home" order issued, the challenge was to still provide this opportunity to our students, and potentially even more students throughout the country, given its virtual format. I'd like to share this out so you can provide this for your students too. There are 10 presenters. Each video is about 20 minutes long. Some are interactive, some are observation only.

Please enjoy and share!
