The past couple of years (NAEA-2012 & AENJ-2011/2012) I have had the pleasure of attending both the National and Local Art Education Conventions. During these times I have been able to attend a multitude of workshops gathering ideas for lesson, supplies, and the best way to obtain a job as well as speak with numerous educations from around the country. Upcoming events are linked below.
While at TCNJ I have had the pleasure of helping start up Kappa Pi National Art Fraternity. My first year I was a member and this pat year I was elected to Vice President. While VP I have helped facilitate numerous art shows in our galleries, participate in our own Kappa Pi art show, organize workshops, assist in open houses for the art department, create a mural for the student lounge, help create a banner to be hung in the STUD, and will be spear heading an art education show that will be held at Ground for Sculpture come next September.
This May I will be participating in a fantastic show. With the support of Monmouth County Arts Council, Join Derling Dance Arts for an arts education fundraiser celebrating ALL the artists of Monmouth County. A great chance for artists to network with one another! This event features dance, voice, music, acting, and an art gallery! All proceeds goes towards arts education with a portion helping those affected by the devastating effects of Hurricane Sandy in our New Jersey communities. Come support and celebrate the arts in your local community!
