Let's explore the best ways to approach color theory to prepare students for a career in art and design. Gain useful resources for teaching.

Join us on Saturday, July 24th at 10AM PST.

Join the WAEA and Jennifer Hallsey, SCAD professor of Design and Color Theory, to explore color theory.

Sign up here for Zoom link!

https://www.eventbrite.com/.../color-theory-jennifer...

What are the best ways to approach color theory to best prepare students for a career in art and design? Come and gain useful knowledge and leave with a take-away list of resources to enhance your teaching!

The workshop will focus on teaching multiple color systems to middle school and high school-aged students. It will focus on proper use of vocabulary and strategies to impart the message that understanding color is important to all vocations, not just art and design fields. Jennifer will discuss my process of teaching (and un-teaching) as well as show examples of how to connect color theory to everyday application.

There are no materials necessary other than note-taking materials.

However, Jennifer does recommend the purchase of a RYB color wheel and a CMY color wheel for their own reference. Jennifer will provide a comprehensive list of resources and textbooks at the end of the workshop.

RYB: https://www.dickblick.com/products/artists-color-wheel

CMY: https://www.dickblick.com/products/cmy-primary-mixing-wheel/

Open to the Public.

WAEA members can receive clock hours for attending.

Welcome to the world of virtual art.... The Covid is still with us this Fall, so we are 100% remote in our middle school. We spent the first 3 days with "School-wide" lessons, live zooms of 25 minutes all 7 periods in a row, all 3 days. It was exhausting! The focus was relationship building, helping kids get comfortable with zoom and canvas, and our mandatory state attendance for funding student counts.

Monday starts my first official week of art with our A/B schedule. I made a video for my students to walk them thru the first unit and thought I would share it here, so you can see how my units are laid out. Our district has Canvas locked to commons sharing outside of our district, so I am not able to share the Canvas pages and assignments with you. But perhaps you can build your own with this walk thru guide. Or something like it that works for your kids.

I will be doing live zooms this week and I am really not sure what I will do or how I will approach them. Honestly, I would like to walk them thru the canvas assignments like the video does, but my computer does not like to do anything ELSE when I am running zoom. I can't show videos and I can't open another browser page. (I can't even do attendance at the same time!) Otherwise I would show some of the videos in this module and do the discussions LIVE instead. Oh well... hopefully once help desk is a little less buried in kid and parent problems, they will look at my computer and get it functioning better. Otherwise is it going to be a long year.

Without further ado... my video walk thru. Enjoy!

Online learning continues for 8 more weeks here in Washington State. Based on many great shares from the Online Art communities on Facebook I have adapted many great ideas into my next 6 great "Art Adventures" Each one will be based on one of the studio habits of the mind.

Our district also required up to put together a learning standards "Priority Snapshot"

The Priority Snapshot is purposed to guide teaching and learning through the completion of the 2019-20 school year. As recommended by OSPI, educators are now required to think about the enduring concepts of a content, without the expectation to cover an entire content or subject area as would be done when school is in session in school facilities. The Priority Snapshot outlines the priority standards and enduring concepts of a content for the completion of the school year and aligns these to district adopted instructional materials, and/or materials and resources recommended by OSPI*. The intent of this information is to provide teachers with foundations for backwards planning for instruction.

I will add to this post as I complete my units... since tons of this was borrowed from many wonderful online group contributions, keep in mind this is a shared document and should not be sold in any part or in any way . This is a generously shared group of lessons put together in a way I hope my middle school student will find engaging and useful. Clicking on the image should take you to the shared google document, which you will then need to download your own copy and adjust for your needs.

Remember... PLEASE do not use as is.. due to the fact that some of the links go to my school google drive and your students will not have access to them. Update links and text to match your school resources as necessary.

So here we all are... teaching from home feeling isolated... missing our daily interactions with the little humans we call our kids. Trying to build an airplane while flying it and hoping we all don't die. Trying to remember to put on our own oxygen mask before the ones of those around us. Alternating between scared, angry, bored and occasionally enjoying some time to make art ourselves. Meanwhile teachers online are generously sharing their work with each other. So here is my share.

Over the years I have developed a number of "choice menus" that give kids options for more directed learning while also allowing the openness for bigger choices. My Studio Choice Challenge is set up in levels and is based on a gamification model. I have been creating versions of this for several years. But it has a LOT of different centers involved.

If they rushed through the task or did it incorrectly (such as not having enough values in the value scale) then I would give them feedback and have them re-do or fix as needed. AT the end of the unit they turned in their bingo card and each project was worth 5 points. My grading of the points depending on how many days I set for this unit but the goal was one project per day. I also offered a new store bought sketchbook for any kids that did a "Black out."

Collage bingo was a lot messier and for some more confusing, since many of them were completely new to collage. Because of this I did make a slide show of examples so they would know what a black out poem was and I still did daily demos on blocks that seemed most confusing or the ones the most kids were interested in figuring out.

Now that we are suddenly and with little preparation... going to online school... I am working on a digital art bingo for my students working at home. I will share that when it is ready to go! Feel free to adapt the resources below for your age and school situation.

TEACHERS AS ARTISTS: CONNECTIONS

Maryhill Museum of Art, working in partnership with the Washington Art Education Association, showcases teacher talent by inviting educators to participate in Teachers as Artists, an annual juried exhibition in the museum’s MJ Murdock Charitable Trust Education Center.

In 2021 we invited regional arts educators to submit work around the theme Connections. The theme brings a focus to people, places, or things that have connected our lives during the past year, inviting arts educators to explore their vision of “connections” through multiple media. Presented in partnership with Washington Art Education Association and Tacoma Museum of Art. You can view Connections — Teachers as Artists online here, and also see the show in person at Maryhill Museum of Art from March 15 – April 25, 2021.

This essay is the final in a 3-part series, I Don't Have Time to Draw. Part 1 introduced how I think about time management, Part 2 laid out the 6 most common time issues with actionable steps to overcome them, and now in Part 3, we're diving deep!

Perhaps you've tried some of those time-management techniques. You've read countless productivity articles, books on managing your time, and tried again and again to make changes and create a consistent drawing routine. And yet, something snags. Something holds you back. No matter what you try, it just doesn't work.

You're not the only one! For years I thought drawing consistently was just a matter of willpower and discipline and would beat myself up for not being able to do it like other artists do. But over the years I've learned that's just not true. There's so much more to it, and more often than not, the struggle stems from issues much deeper than willpower.

Getting Out of Our Own Way

So often, we think externally, blaming outside circumstances for our problems. We blame our job, our kids, our spouse, anything around us for taking our time and getting in the way of our art. But more often than not, it's us. WE are holding ourselves back. WE are getting in our own way.

That may sound like terrible news, but it's actually a good news. Because we can't change other people or external sources. But we can change ourselves. We can discover and learn what's inside our minds, and work hard to change our mindset. We can learn to get out of our own way so we can make more art.

Asking the Wrong Questions

If this is where you are, then you're asking yourself the wrong questions. You don't need to ask "how do I make more time for my art". There are deeper more important questions to be asked here.

Instead, we need to be asking: "WHY am I not making time for my art?"

Why am I choosing not to draw right now? If you're choosing not to draw because of deep-down issues, trying to use time-management strategies can become just another method of procrastination. We spend time setting up our desk, organizing our tools, searching for inspiration, looking for new classes to take... anything but the actual drawing.

So WHY? Why are we doing this? For heaven's sake, why can't we just sit down and draw?!

Fear

If we follow this thread all the way down, we find the root is fear. No matter what our method of procrastination, no matter what we blame for our lack of time, it all leads to fear. Fear is what holds us back from making our art.

"To the artist, all problems of art appear uniquely personal. Well, that's understandable enough, given that not many other activities routinely call one's basic self-worth into question." ―David Bayles, photographer + author of Art and Fear

So now the question we must ask ourselves has changed again. We can only make time for our art when we figure out the answer to the ultimate deep-down question: What am I afraid of?

Fear is a natural part of the creative process, and we all have similar artistic fears: the fear of not being good enough, fear of failure, fear of mistakes, and fear of what others will think.

Conditioned for Fear

But where does this fear come from? How did we become afraid of a silly thing like making art? It's a matter of conditioning. This fear and negative thinking is learned thinking.

Through our experiences, we have been conditioned to believe certain things about art. Through teachers, parents, classmates, friends, books, and everything else, we learn what an artist is, who can be an artist, what it means to make art, what is good or bad.

Many of these beliefs are negative, demoralizing, and insanely counter-productive to making art: "I'm terrible at drawing", "no one likes my art", "I'll never be an artist". Through repetition, we absorb these ideas as our own and these negative thoughts become automatic thoughts, which then develop into our core beliefs about ourselves.

But these thoughts are not facts-they are untrue, unprovable, and unhelpful. They only lead to anxiety, beating ourselves up, creative block, and ultimately, quitting art.

This is all dark and depressing, I know. But there's good news here too. We learned to think about our art in this way. And if you can learn something, you can also unlearn it. We can learn new ways of thinking about art that will lead us to making more art.

We don't need more time-management techniques and productivity hacks-we need new core beliefs.

Core Beliefs

Because we learn our beliefs from society and those around us, we tend to share similar core beliefs about what it means to make art and be an artist, especially in the beginning of our artistic journeys. As artists, we either learn to deal with the fear and negative thoughts we've absorb, or fear wins and we quit.

Artists who "don't have time to draw" blame themselves for being lazy or poor time-managers. But that's not always true. More often, it's that they are blocked by their negative thinking. Instead of spending their time and energy on drawing, they spend it ruminating on their core beliefs: "I'm terrible at drawing", "I should be better by now", "I wish I could draw as well as so-and-so", "I'll never be an artist."

Instead of creating more art, they create more self-doubt.

It's these internal blocks that get in the way of making our art. It's the emotional and mental issues that manifest as self-destructive behaviors, like not making time for our art.

I don't want that to happen to you. And if it already has, I want to help you unlearn those automatic negative thoughts and get back to drawing. First we have to become aware of which core beliefs we have, and then we can work to replace those negative thoughts with more helpful thoughts.

Commonly Held Core Beliefs + Replacement Thoughts

Below are some of the most common core beliefs of artists that lead to fear and self-doubt, as well as a counter thought to help us try to change those automatic thoughts.

This drawing is terrible.
Some drawings I'll love, and some I won't-that's the creative process.

I need to be a best-selling author, award-winning illustrator, gallery-showing painter, etc to be an a "real artist".
I am an artist if I'm making art. I enjoy making art, and I want to make and share my art regardless of the outcome.

I'm just an imposter/amateur/wannabe artist until someone pays for my artwork.
I can take baby steps towards my goals and enjoy the entire process, not just the end result.

I should be improving my drawing skills faster than I am.
Progress is rarely linear. Improvement is guaranteed if I'm patient and just keep drawing.

I need to be a great artist.
It's hard to be an artist if I'm pressuring myself to be a great artist. I just want to make art.

I have to draw every single day.
I need restoration and breaks even from things I love.

I need everything I make to be a magnificent piece of art.
There is no perfect. My art will always be imperfect, and that is what makes it unique and special.

I have to draw for hours for it to be "worth it".
Some days I'll draw a lot, and some days I won't. Little bits of drawing add up over time.

If I'm going to draw, it has to be a big, special art project.
Sometimes I'll have a long-term passionate project, and sometimes I'll be in between ideas. This is normal, and I can still draw either way.

Making art is a selfish activity.
Making art makes me a better person, more present in my life with others and at peace with myself. I deserve to nurture myself.

I'm not inspired to draw.
I don't have to wait for inspiration-it will find me when I begin creating.

I wish I could draw like so-and-so.
I am my own, unique artist, and I make my own, unique art.

I have no good ideas-I'm stuck and I'll always be stuck!
Peaks and valleys are a normal part of the creative process-I will move through this.

I can never draw exactly what's in my head and that makes me a terrible artist.
I can embrace uncertainty and become comfortable with not knowing what the outcome will be.

Ugh, I just completely messed up this drawing.
The only way to avoid mistakes is to do nothing at all. I can learn from my mistakes and embrace imperfection.

Self-Compassion

There are two common themes in that list of common core beliefs. Our automatic negative thoughts are based in fear and self-doubt. Our replacement thoughts are based in patience and self-compassion.

Our negative thoughts assume they know what the future holds and tend to catastrophize, imagining a situation is worse than it actually is. Our replacement thoughts aim to reflect reality and see the situation as it really is.

Self-compassion allows us to be patient with ourselves, the creative process, and our artistic journey. We're able to see and accept ourselves as humans with imperfections instead of beating ourselves up for not being perfect-artist-machines.

Treating ourselves with self-compassion leads to accepting our art as it is today. And that acceptance allows us to stop ruminating on our perceived failures, and instead focus on our capacity for growth. It encourages us to keep going and keep drawing, which ultimately leads to way more improvement than bullying ourselves does.

Fear tells us to stop. Self-compassion tells us to keep going.

Being a self-compassionate artist is not being lazy or passive. It's being kind, patient, and persistent. It's about being present in the moment of making, instead of obsessing about the future. It's about being kind and encouraging to ourselves instead of berating and bullying ourselves. It's about acceptance of our unique way, not the right or wrong way.

It's about giving ourselves over to the creative process and letting our love of drawing carry us through the peaks and valleys of creating. It's not about thinking and worrying-it's about making art.

Fighting Fear with Self-Compassion

Fear and negative thinking is a natural part of artmaking and, unfortunately, it never completely goes away. Even famous, award-winning artists still have fear and self-doubt. Dan Santat, who received the Caldecott Medal (the highest honor in children's book illustration) in 2015, has said "I constantly worried that I would be discovered as an impostor and that everything would fall apart."

There's no way to completely rid ourselves of this fear and self-doubt. But we can learn how to fight it. We can unlearn our unhelpful, automatic negative beliefs.

We can learn how to reframe the negative core beliefs that knock us back into helpful beliefs that propel us forward.

And there's only one thing that can do all that: self-compassion.

Time-management strategies and productivity hacks are short-term solutions to a long-term problem. The only way to truly make time for artmaking in our life-long artistic journey is to beat back the fear and self-doubt.

We have to stop being so hard on ourselves and try being kind instead.

Russna Kaur exhibit at the Frye. On now!

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
For Russna Kaur, abstract painting offers a space of possibility, play, and experimentation that is intimately entangled with the complexities of living-both its pleasures and adversities. Rather than approaching a painting as a fixed, singular object, Kaur employs a modular process: she arranges smaller paintings into large-scale compositions that grow, shrink, and shift. The bold and raucous color combinations Kaur uses reference the spectacle of gatherings and locales such as amusement parks, community festivals, ceremonies, and religious spaces-sites of overstimulation, observance, and illusion. For the second installment of the Museum's Boren Banner Series, Kaur has created a new work, Burnt away in layers of clouds, they fall slowly...suspended in air, free as a gift, which reflects her non-linear and dynamic method of bringing disparate materials, ideas, and memories into tense, energetic balance with one another.

The dense mixture of colors and mediums-including acrylic, oil, spray paint, pastel, crayon, found wood, paper, and felt-in this new work is the result of a five-month process during which Kaur continually reshaped the work by both physical and digital means. The painting began as a poem Kaur made by arranging particular words and phrases lifted directly from earth science textbooks, an informational welcome packet for an artist residency, stories of UFO sightings, and religious texts. The evocative and multiple meanings offered by this poem-from which the title of the work is derived-served as inspiration for the assorted marks, shapes, colors, and textures Kaur sketched and painted onto panels of stretched raw silk, velvet, wood, and canvas. She then organized these panels into various configurations until she achieved a cohesive design. To finalize the work for display on the Museum's exterior as a vinyl banner, Kaur then had each of the painting's twelve panels individually photographed so they could be stitched together digitally to create a culminating arrangement.

The result is an image paradoxically circumscribed and boundless, at once rooted in Kaur's highly personal vision, yet open to wide interpretation. By translating her own lived experience through an abstract lens, Kaur honors the multiplicity of her identity as a Canadian woman of the Punjabi diaspora while resisting being limited to any codified set of racial or gendered markers. Instead, her paintings promote a way of being that is unhinged from expectation and emphatically myriad rather than monolithic.

Russna Kaur (Canadian, b. 1991, Toronto) earned her BFA from the University of Waterloo, Ontario (2013), and her MFA from the Emily Carr University of Art and Design (2019) in Vancouver. Kaur has been an artist in residence at the Burrard Arts Foundation in Vancouver and Centrum's Emerging Artist Residency in Port Townsend, Washington. She is the recipient of the 2020 Takao Tanabe Painting Prize for emerging painters in British Columbia and the 2020 IDEA Art Award, and her work is in the permanent collections of the Vancouver Art Gallery and the VGH and UBC Hospital Foundation. Kaur, who lives in Vancouver, is currently a sessional instructor at the Emily Carr University of Art and Design.

About the Series

The Boren Banner Series is a new public art initiative by the Frye Art Museum that reflects the Museum's commitment to showcasing artists of the Pacific Northwest. Presented biannually, the series gives regional artists the opportunity to create new site-specific work or show a previously unexhibited piece at monumental scale in the form of a 16 x 20 ft. vinyl banner. The billboard-size work is prominently sited on the Museum's east facade, facing Boren Avenue: the Frye's most visible and accessible physical interface.
