The Share Fair lasts for 45 minutes and takes place right after the keynote speaker /Job-Alike PLCs on Friday. It takes place in the auxiliary gym. 30 tables are set up and participants freely walk around and look at the different displays and demonstrations. It is very noisy and social. It is modeled on NAEA's exhibitors hall, but our tables are free. The Share Fair serves an important function at Art in the Sun. It allows us to stay at one venue for the entire conference. High School students are still attending classes and the classrooms are not available until after lunch on Friday.

One thing that we have become increasingly aware of of just how difficult it is to maintain communications with all art teachers in the state. We really need people who are willing to help us get the word out on UAEA issues and also to provide constructive feedback to help steer this association in a meaningful direction. Interested? Please email uaeaevents@gmail.com

The workshop was awesome. Shannon is not an art educator per se, but a professional airbrush artist that has worked with some of the biggest names (Beatles for instance) in the country and some of the top artists.

Since the class was quite crowded and Shannon could not get around to every one individually, I had the opportunity to help with the instruction.

Saturday 10-10:50am

Tim Stack from UEN did a presentation on the free web hosting site weebly.com. I already have a number of sites on Weebly including my class website. I attended this work shop because had a few questions about the functionality of the site. It turned out to be an excellent decision. There were a couple of options I hadn't discovered that I really wanted to use on my sites.

In this workshop learned that Weebly has a site specifically for educators that will allow me t manage student accounts for portfolios etc. I opened an account with education.weebly.com and started putting together a class web site that I will move my current site to when I get it up and running.

I also found out about a couple of apps, "Timelapse" and "Capture", that will help in creating online teaching aids.

Fashion
We're all so excited over here at the Dixie Cultural Art center! For a major event, we've had Korean super group TWICE perform on our stage and we couldn't be happier.

TWICE is one of the most popular band in Korea right now. They are a nine member girl group under the JYP record label. This is JYP's first large girl group. The founder and owner even appears in some of their video.

What's interesting about TWICE is that they are multicultural. Actually, almost half of their K-Idol members aren't even from Korea. Sana is from Japan. Tzuyu is from Taiwan. Mina is Japanese American, and was born in San Antonio, Texas. It's really interesting to see how these international members interact with each other. Different countries have different rules on things like who eats first, and what you call each other.

Korea tends to be very strict about age and status, but the girls all seem to get along just fine.

This girls group certainly has an eclectic mix of personalities. They shine with their fun and cute sense of style both onstage and on their various variety show and reality show appearances.

Even in their private dorm, they're playing games and dancing with each other.

They blew us all away with their performance of Heart Shaker last weekend. They have been at the top of the charts with their hit songs Likey, Cheer Up and others. But, none have become so popular and well received as Heart Shaker, their latest song.

Kpop Music Performace

The performance features complex choreography and shows off their dancing skills. Momo, the lead dancer shows great talent for her solos. Most of the girls have been trainees for many years and this is finally their chance to be on the big stage, Jihyo, for example, was a trainee for 10 years before she debuted with JYP's TWICE. She says she is very happy to be able to wear cute Korean outfits on stage now. It seems that a lot of trainees are usually in sweat pants and workout clothes for their training. Now, she finally gets to wear the superstar hallyu fashion she's waited so long for.

Kpop Fashion

A great thing I have always appreciated about TWICE is their fashion. They always have a cute and pretty style that doesn't seem like it's trying too hard to be too sexy. It just seems a lot more natural. Their makeup style is the same. It's pretty, without being overdone or dramatic. They are kind of like the "girl next door" look... assuming you have 9 extremely cute girls as neighbors. You can see more Korean fashion at kpopfashion.net.

But, really. They have a less contrived, natural sense of style that appeals to a lot of Korean girls today. Their Korean fashion is something that any girl can copy and not be shocking when going out in public. Fashion in Korea tends to be leaning more toward this direction and that is most welcome.

Old Style

It seems like the Korean fashion style is moving away from the gaudy, aggressive style that you saw with 2NE1 and similar groups, and going more with the natural, cute, girly look. All of it is mixed with a sense of fun and personal flair. Each girl is wearing their own unique fashion, even if they are the same color or style. They don't all look the same which I think shows off their personalities a lot better.

New Trends

This trend in Korean fashion has been affected by these music videos, which affects the culture, which is very important to us here at the cultural center. We like to see how fashion impacts culture. Overall, we want to thank TWICE for their performance and for their positive impact on fashion, music, and dance in Korea and globally.

We were going to write a post about BTS merchandise, but we found a great one that someone else already wrote so you can check their's out.

All in all a terrific trip.  I'll be digesting and using what I learned for form time.
