The time commitment for WAEA Leadership positions vary.  There are some that don’t take much time and are a great way to meet some new people and find out if you might like to get more involved with WAEA.  Consider “getting your feet wet” by volunteering to be an awards or scholarship scorer which only requires a one time commitment of a few hours. Got a little more time? Perhaps become a part of our social media team and make a couple of posts a week on facebook and instagram promoting WAEA events, information and other interesting content. We would also love you to consider stepping up to a bigger role.

Becky Broyles, M.Ed, NBCT, has worked for the Battle Ground Public School District for 12 years. She currently teaches high school visual art and media art classes at River HomeLink, a public K-12 parent-partnership alternative school in Washington State. Becky has developed a student-choice art program, modeled as a working design studio, that allows students the freedom to choose their creative pathway for learning. Her students have won numerous awards and have had their work published. Her students embrace the idea of working as an artist/designer on projects that will enrich their futures.

She is actively involved at the local, state, and international levels of arts education. As part of the OSPI Arts Cadre and the OSPI Statewide Arts Guidance on Reopening Schools Committee (2020-21), she worked to establish that all the arts were essential and created a crowd-sourced database for media arts teachers during the pandemic. She is also currently the Washington Art Education Association Virtual Workshop Co-Chair who facilitates monthly workshops the 3rd Saturday of every month. She also heads the Crafts Department at the American School in Japan Summer Day Camp in Tokyo during the summer.

Becky's warm spirit and ongoing passion for art are seen through her love of photography, collage, and fashion. She recently exhibited a photograph in a gallery show at the Maryhill Museum of Art and the Tacoma Art Museum. She became Adobe Certified in Photoshop last summer. She has attended Savannah College of Art and Design's Summer Institutes (Hong Kong, 2019, Virtual, 2020), Kansas City Art Institute's ArtLab (2021), Center for Emerging Technologies Institute's Wearable Art Institute (PSU, 2021), and she has been attending the Portland Fashion Institute (2019) to enhance her pattern-making skills.
Becky would like to acknowledge her students, their families, her family, friends, fellow teachers, artists, and WAEA members as a main driving force that encourages her to follow her passions, to continue to dream big, and to just try...the more you try, the better your luck is.

Learning can be a fragile thing for many students.

When trust and mutual respect are absent, when the classroom space isn't welcoming, students struggle to learn. When positive, supportive relationships, combined with good teaching are present, however, ALL students thrive. As we approach our third school year that will be impacted by covid I know it's essential to connect with and welcome my students to the community we'll build together, so I'll be using an activity I created last year to start to establish the roots of the supportive, collaborative environment I want to create.

Autobiographical Assemblages

This two-class activity invites students to share from a personal, cultural perspective. It's inspired by the work of Zaretta Hammond, author of Culturally Responsive Teaching and the Brain, and invites students to share from each of the three levels of culture Hammond writes about.

In the lesson, which I give as homework with planning time in class, students identify objects that represent things they like, things they do, and things that are important to them. Once the objects are identified they are arranged and photographed, then added to a slide deck and shared with the class. Here are the instructions I use.

Creating and sharing this work with my classes was a highlight of last school year for me. I got to know things about students I'd taught for years that I may have never found out otherwise through the personal, meaningful work they created and shared.

A Framework for Artistic Decision Making

# data[].attributes.subject
A Framework for Artistic Decision Making

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
They are in every art class, those confident decision makers. Oozing with plans and ideas, they hardly even need teacher direction (and may, more often than not, thrive its absence). One way to think about these students is as natural artists, however, it's not a way that reflects the belief that ALL students are artists.

A better way to think about what some students do so well may be to look at the creative decision making they've mastered as a set of skills that EVERYONE can be taught. And those that need it taught are there too, in every art class - those who need us to give them the tools to reconnect with their creative potential, students who learned long ago that school is for following directions and forgot the power of their own ideas.

The framework that I developed to plan the teaching of making decisions, the Artistic Think Process or ATP, focuses on three essential questions:

What do I want to make? (Inspiration)

How do I make my idea visual in the best way that I can? (Development)

How do I apply what I've developed into a successful artwork? (Creation)

When student are taught a range of methods for making decisions as they move through the stages of Inspiration, Development and Creation they become empowered to works as artists.

However, working creatively is an emotional risk for many secondary and later elementary students. So much learning in school is focused on remembering the right answer, on following directions, on making the correct choice between A, B, C and D. When we ask students to start to find, develop and use their own ideas to make art, many are unsure and overwhelmed. So we must take small steps at the beginning and build trusting relationships that support learning ( please read more about these essential relationships here).

As I build relationships, both between me and each student AND a culture of collaboration in the studio, I teach strategies for finding ideas, polishing them and for applying those ideas into a fished artwork.

As students learn these strategies they start to develop creative confidence and, so importantly, preference. Do they prefer to list or sketch or experiment to develop ideas, or maybe, instead, to jump in and try, then find solutions? Do they have a strong attachment to one media, love many or make decisions about materials based mainly on the concept behind the work?

Once students start to have opinions when asked these sort of questions I know they are thinking like the artists and, more importantly, so do they.

Welcome to the website. If you're here, you're likely looking to find random words. Random Word Generator is the perfect tool to help you do this. While this tool isn't a word creator, it is a word generator that will generate random words for a variety of activities or uses. Even better, it allows you to adjust the parameters of the random words to best fit your needs.

The first option the tool allows you to adjust is the number of random words to be generated. You can choose as many or as few as you'd like. You also have the option of choosing words that only begin with a certain letter, only end with a certain letter or only begin and end with certain letters. If you leave these blank, the randomized words that appear will be from the complete list.

Another option you have is choosing the number of syllables of the words or the word length of the randomized words. There are also ways to further refine these by choosing the "less than" or "greater than" options for both syllables and word length. Again, if you leave the space blank, the complete list of randomized words will be used.

You have the option of choosing the types of words you want to be displayed using the "Word Type" dropdown. The default is "All" which is a curated list of thousands of the more common English words. You can also opt to only display nouns, verbs, or adjectives from this curated list. If you want to choose from all the words out there, you can choose "Extended" which is a list that includes over half a million different English words.

If you're interested in random words in languages other than English, you can choose the "Non English" word type. Doing so will give you the option to generate words in ten different languages other than English. This includes Spanish words, Hindi words, Arabic words, German words, Russian words, Chinese words, Japanese words, Korean words. Latin words, or Italian words. You simply need to choose the language and then words from that language will randomly appear with each refresh of the page.

Once you have input all of your specifications, all you have to do is to press the Generate Random Words button, and a list of random words will appear. Below are some of the common ways people use this tool.

Games

This tool can be useful for games like Pictionary or MadLibs. Since the words are random, this helps to keep a game like Pictionary fair for all those playing. For a game like MadLibs, it can help kids improve their vocabulary by generating words they may not have ever considered to fill in the blank spaces. The tool has the potential to help with any word game that doesn't require a specific word.

Creative Writing

For those who write, this tool can be an excellent device to aid in the creative writing process. By using the tool to create 5 random words, a writer could then attempt to use all of them in a single paragraph. Longer random word lists could be incorporated into a short story. Since the writer doesn't know which words will appear, creativity must be used to successfully incorporate all the words. To make the challenge even more difficult, the writer could try to use the words in the exact order they were generated. In this way, writers can challenge their creativity to push their writing skills.

Spelling and Vocabulary

This tool can be an excellent way to improve vocabulary or practice for spelling bees. If an unfamiliar word appears, looking up the meaning will help students increase the number of words they know. Working with a partner, students can test each other on the spelling for the randomized words generated.

Name Inspiration

If you need to create a name for a product, an event, a band or for anything else, this tool can be quite helpful. As you consider names, generate a number of random words and see how they impact what you have already come up with. Inputting unique words you may not have considered can spark additional creativity to eventually help you produce the perfect name for your project. If you're looking for good character names or baby names, you might be interested in our random name generator.

The above list is not comprehensive. There are literally hundreds of ways the Random Word Generator can be used. Please feel free to share the way you use this tool, and we always welcome suggestions on how we can improve it to serve you better. We are also interested in new word generators you'd be interested in us creating. Many of the tools on this website came from ideas from people like you who contacted us. Please take the time to explore the other random generators we have available which can be found in the right sidebar of the page.

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.

Digital Girl... based on Madonna's Material Girl

The Cabin by Jake Gr. 6

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.

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!

... but one thing is missing: A person like you to tell them!

Simply combine a few cards and enjoy the experience of a story or memory taking shape behind your eyes. How you tell it is up to you. Write it, draw it, act it, sing it!

There are a few Storymatics to choose from: The Storymatic Classic, Storymatic Kids, Rememory, and Synapsis.

Each one helps you experience and share stories and memories. Each one helps you say Yes to your imagination.

Use them to have some laughs at a party, or for writing, art, and performance. Use them for your daily creative practice, whatever that may be!
