In the twenty years since Justine Sawyer began her teaching career, her passion, dedication and impeccablework ethic toward her profession and her students has established her as a well respected, inspirational role modeland advocate for art education in the state of Colorado and beyond.
Justine’s educational career began in her home state of Iowa. Since then, her journeys have taken her toColorado, followed by Cyprus, California and finally back to Colorado. Although Justine has taught at all levels through-out the years, served as department chair, taught IB and implemented AP classes while at Cherokee Trail, she nowbrings her talents, experience and passion to East High School. Justine’s years of dedicated service to our professionhave given her a uniquely wide breadth of experience, making her a valued member of the East High school visualarts team.
Justine realizes that to become a better teacher, one needs constant reflection, learning and practicing inthe profession as both an art educator and as an artist. She overcomes challenging situations with tact and profes-sionalism by putting her students first and working hard to make sure their accomplishments are recognized. Themost important thing to her is that her students are successful and recognized for their achievements.
Nominator Jody Chapel reflects, “To talk about Justine Sawyer is to talk about what she does for others. Work-ing with her as her student teacher, I learned many valuable lessons from her. The biggest one was that it’s all aboutthe STUDENTS. No matter what you have to deal with outside of the classroom, it all comes back to the students.”
Justine’s dedication to her profession has not been limited to the walls of her school. Justine has alwaysbeen highly involved with CAEA. Serving as the Metro rep, she held monthly social gatherings during First Friday’son Santa Fe Drive. She wanted art teachers to have the opportunity for social interaction with each other and to enjoyart experiences. In many other ways she worked hard to make sure the art educators in the metro area were involvedin CAEA activities. Currently, she has resurrected Youth Art Month (YAM) in Colorado including organizing a state-wide art contest in which winning artwork is displayed in the State Capital building; she requested and received agubernatorial proclamation making March Youth Art Month official in Colorado; and built a new presence for this im-portant endeavor by creating a YAM website and promoting it at the CAEA conference and at every art teacher gatheringshe has been involved with.
When the Scholastic Art & Writing competition was in dire need of volunteers to run parts of the programthat teachers have come to expect, Justine stepped up to the plate. In addition, to a new job in a new district, andtaking on Youth Art Month, she also volunteered to coordinate the Denver Art Museum Scholastic exhibit and theTeacher/student luncheon.
Lisa Lee Adams concludes, “Justine is a visible and integral part of the success of Visual Arts on a local andstate level and yet despite her artistic, educational and leadership accolades Justine’s remains humble. I believe it istime to bring Justine Sawyer to the front and honor her for her devotion to all aspects of our craft.”

Plastered across the walls of Virginia Schick’s Boulder High Schoolclassroom and on the school's visual arts website is this quotation from mu-sician/poet Bob Dylan: “The highest purpose of art is to inspire." Virginia hasdedicated the art of her teaching to inspiring her students to succeed andbe the best that they can be.
Virginia’s passion, impeccable work ethic, and dedication to our pro-fession have not gone unnoticed. Among her many accolades are the MarieWalsh Sharpe Teacher as Artist Award, the Jared Polis Award, and the Impacton Education for Excellence Winner in teaching visual art.
In 2008, Virginia became nationally recognized as a Board CertifiedTeacher. Now serving as the Boulder Valley School District facilitator of Na-tional Board Certification, she assisted this past year in the National Certifi-cation of 23 other Boulder Valley teachers. Additionally, Virginia serves as herdistrict’s Induction Coach for new art educators and is the Teacher Leader 6-12 for district art teachers.
Her students' awards are also impressive. Under her tutelage, her students have received multiple local, national, andinternational recognitions, including awards from the State Board of Education and selection for inclusion in the National Con-gressional Art Show in Washington, D.C. Many of her students are Gold and Silver Key winners in the Colorado and NationalScholastic Art and Writing Awards.
However, it is not the accolades that drive Virginia to teach, but her desire to inspire. According to Pamela Starck, Col-orado Scholastics Art and Writing Coordinator, Virginia has the rare talent to create “magic” within the walls of her classroom,equipping her students with the skills, creativity, and personal voice needed to succeed as artists. Equally impressive to Pam isthe way in which Virginia's students respond to her high standards. Virginia demands 120% of herself. She requests – and gets– that same level of commitment from her students.
Schick’s passion is to inspire both serious and casual art students. Virginia established a Portfolio 101 class for all studentswithin the Boulder Valley School District who were considering a future in the arts through higher education. After acquiringAdvanced Placement (AP) training on her own initiative, she established AP Studio Art and Art History classes at Boulder High.Additionally, every week after school, Virginia offers “open studio” hours to students who are either unable to fit visual art classesinto their schedules or simply are desirous of more studio time after the regular school day has ended.
In her desire to inspire each and every student, Virginia uses art to reach out to struggling and at-risk students and tohelp them turn around their grades. Upon realizing the lack of diversity among registered visual art students at Boulder High, Virginiaimmediately sought a solution by translating all course offerings and connecting personally with diverse populations, sometimeseven conducting home visits. The result of her efforts? A 20% increase in the enrollment of diverse student populations.
According to Boulder High Colleague, Michelle Carpenter, “Virginia regularly stretches the traditional boundaries ofteaching, because she does not see the school walls as limiting factors. She truly makes our school and district a better placeto live, work and develop into lifelong artists.”
Pam Starck concludes, “There are many proficient and dedicated teachers in education. There are also teachers who,because of their commitment to education and students are considered outstanding. Virginia is outstanding, and it is withouthesitation I recommend her for High School Teacher of the year.”

As a young boy, future art educator Tyler Utesch struggled aca-demically. The only place he felt any level of success at school was in theart room. Since deciding to pursue a career in education, his vow has al-ways been to “pay it forward.” He has established an art curriculum thatprovides a wide variety of artistic opportunities that allow for the successof all his students through the use of sound pedagogical instruction andthe establishment of a learning environment in which students feel safe,respected, and honored. In his more than fifteen-year tenure at ShadowRidge Middle School in Adams County District 12, Tyler has more thanaccomplished his goal.
Tyler is adept at developing standards-based lessons that meetthe needs of every artist who enters his class. When Tyler teaches a stu-dent to create art, he focuses not only on technique but also on whatthe student is passionate about, encouraging personal expression. Hespends individual time with students, teaching them how to translatetheir ideas into images. When he looks at a child’s work, it is not with a critical eye. Rather, he expounds on the virtues of timeand effort, as well as the individual progress made. In doing so, the students feel safe enough to experience emotions thatare often unfamiliar to them: pride and self-esteem. Many people underestimate how delicate the psyche of middle schoolstudents can be, especially in areas with great poverty and adversity. Tyler does not. He nurtures young artists, providinggentle suggestions for improvement through differentiating and modeling. In doing so, Tyler’s students discover their ownartistic process through which they may flourish.
Those who attend the annual district art show can see Tyler’s success – they are amazed by the quality and caliberof the work coming from Shadow Ridge’s students. Tyler’s students consistently win the highest accolades and his studentshave won the most awards in the Adams County District 12 annual student art show in 10 out of the last 11 years.
The district's administrative offices are adorned with works purchased from Shadow Ridge students. For many at-risk students, having a piece of their artwork purchased can be the hallmark of their academic careers. This year, for example,one girl’s painting was purchased and teachers saw a rare sight – a grin peeking out from behind her hair that shone through-out the whole day.
Tyler has also established himself as a leader among fellow art educators in District 12, always serving as a voice ofadvocacy when the call arises. For the annual art show, he has chaired the installation and striking of artworks for the middleschool section. Tyler generously dedicates hours to organizing and hanging the show in such a manner that the students’ workis displayed most advantageously. Under Tyler’s tenure as chair, the show has been enhanced because all the middle-schools’artworks are hung harmoniously – placed together according to media, instead of hung separately according to school.
Shadow Ridge colleague Joseph Sanford concludes, “Tyler has a rare gift to reach and inspire others. He has hadgreat success with high-risk students. It is my opinion and that of many of our staff that some of his students are alive andstill in school today only because he cared enough to help guide them. He is an exceptional art teacher whose commitmentto art, education and his students could not be higher. I don’t believe you could choose a better individual than Tyler to beselected Colorado Middle School Art Educator of the Year.”

Rain Bodine’s positive attitude, boundless energy, and infec-tious creativity make her an extraordinary art teacher. Rain is passion-ate about teaching art and her commitment to her students,colleagues, and community is obvious.
Rain currently teaches art to first to fifth grade students atGunnison Elementary School in the Gunnison Watershed School Dis-trict. But her range of experience spans from elementary to the uni-versity level. During the summer months , she actively shares herexpertise by teaching art education courses at Western State ColoradoUniversity.
Principal Sally Hensley describes Mrs. Bodine’s classroom as“vibrant and active.” She notes, “There is an audible buzz of creativityand engagement. I have a hard time walking by without popping myhead in. What I see are students working intently, animatedly dis-cussing ideas, looking through books and magazines for inspiration,taking out and putting away supplies, commenting on each other’s work, or gathered around Rain in rapt attention asshe demonstrates a new technique. Our hallways are showcases of rich and varied student pieces that make peoplestop and admire.”
The level of commitment and energy Rain brings to her profession does not stop with her students and col-leagues at Gunnison Elementary. She is dedicated to forging connections between her students and their communitythrough artistic expression, collaborating with local businesses to display student artwork, and generously donatingcountless hours of artistic service to organizations such as Habitat for Humanity, Gunnison’s annual Cattlemen’s Days,and the USA Pro Challenge cycling race. Through her students’ inclusion in these projects, they are encouraged to thinkglobally and to take pride in their philanthropy.
Principal Hensley continues, “I have been very impressed with Rain’s willingness to think deeply about howshe evaluates students and tracks their progress toward grade level expectations of the Colorado Academic Standards.She has dissected, unpacked and repacked standards, developed rubrics evaluation and feedback forms. She uses port-folios to document student work and includes her students in every aspect of her evaluation process. She started ‘Port-folio Nights’ where students present their work to their parents and reflect on their progression as an artist. As a result,her students see themselves as artists with unique and valuable contributions.”
Her passion and expertise for creating authentic, individualized assessments drives Rain to willingly collaboratewith other Watershed School District art teachers. She freely shares her expertise in creating authentic, standards-basedassessments during professional development opportunities in order to ensure that the Colorado Visual Art Standardsare being delivered to all Watershed students in a systematic, aligned manner.
Superintendent of Schools Doug Tredway concludes, “We are indeed lucky to have Rain Bodine as a teacher in the Gun-nison Watershed School District. Rain is an exceptional teacher and has had a significant impact on the students inGunnison. I have had the opportunity to observe her teaching, and her enthusiasm and passion for Art are evident.She is extremely deserving of this award.”

Martin Mendelsberg has served the higher education art educa-tion community in Colorado over the last three decades with an incredibleamount of knowledge, energy, and spirit. Martin is an exceptional educa-tor. Articulate, scrutinizing, and motivating, Martin is a rare gem who bringshis years of international design experience to the classroom with one goal– to shape students into outstanding designers. Additionally, Martin’s com-mand of subject goes well beyond the typical, employing a pedagogy thatdelves thoughtfully into the theory, critique, and cultural context ofgraphic design. In addition, Martin is known to speak from the heart withauthority and relevance to which the students fully respond, both cogni-tively and creatively.
In addition to Mr. Mendelsberg's outstanding teaching in the col-lege classroom, he is a world-class artist and designer. He has exhibitedinternationally in Russia, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, China, Israeland America. His work is represented in permanent collections at The Mu-seum of New Zealand; Victoria University School of Architecture; Govett-Brewster Art Gallery; Yale University: Haas Arts SpecialCollections; The Florida Holocaust Museum; The Mizel Museum, Denver, Colorado; Greeley Holocaust Observance Committee;and The Center for the Study of Political Graphics in Los Angeles. Martin’s most recent large exhibition opened May 25, 2014at the Holocaust Memorial Center Museum in Farmington Hills, Michigan.
Professor Mendelsberg’s affiliation with Denver’s Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design (RMCAD) began in 1988and concluded in 2013. It was there that Elizabeth Mahler Licence had the pleasure of working with Martin for more than sixyears. Elizabeth recalls Martin’s energy, charismatic personality, and command of subject and pedagogy having a profoundimpact on both her life and life’s work, fondly viewing him as an iconic leader, mentor, and fiercely passionate colleague.
Elizabeth reflects, “Martin Mendelsberg’s teaching, as well as his professional and personal work, has influenced peopleall over the world; he does not think small, he thinks globally. His impact on students’ lives and their learning can be seen intheir respect for him as a designer and educator and their mutual dedication to impeccable design and life long learning.”
Although Martin is no longer with RMCAD, it is obvious to Martin's current colleagues at Metropolitan State Universityof Denver (MSU) that he is having a profound impact on the way the students of MSU learn and relate to their chosen discipline.Current students continue to vocalize their unfettered appreciation for his teaching style and personalized relationship to thediscipline of design.
MSU colleague Lisa Abendroth concludes, “Martin Mendelsberg is a living manifestation of that which he teaches.Martin is living a life of design. He manifests his passion for design and design education in a tangible way. This commitmentto a discipline and a way of seeing the world (through the design lens) has significant bearing on his students and his col-leagues alike. Because he presents himself as a student of design – a curious lifetime learner – he revels in the beauty of dis-covery that comes about as a result of a deep inquiry into practice. These qualities are unique to Martin Mendelsberg as aremarkable design educator. It would be an honor to have Martin recognized for his contribution to the design communityof Denver, Colorado. He has given us so much and inspired so many. The award is well deserved.”

During her tenure at PSAS, Tiffany’s dedi-cation and passion have been obvious in all that she undertakes and toeveryone with whom she comes in contact. Tiffany’s down-to-earth per-sonality and expertise always shine through – whether working one-on-one with students or collaboratively with other educators, she allows theircreativity to flow and helps them experience success.
Cynthia Ramu, a PSAS fifth- to eighth-grade art teacher, reflects,“Tiffany is an amazingly inspiring K-4 Art Teacher, and she knows how tokeep those kids drawing, discovering and inventing each day of the year. Ithas been a special pleasure to be her partner teacher.”
Diana Gifford, Academic Dean of PSAS, concurs: “Through my own experiences in education over the pastforty years, I have learned what real master teachers bring to the table. Strong teaming skills, good judgment, alwaysfocusing on what’s good for students, and the ability to see the ‘big picture’ are the qualities I look for when workingwith teachers. Ms. Holbrook works exceptionally well with our students, the humanities team, and all staff members atour school. I have observed her enthusiasm for her subject, her love for her students, and willingness to think out ofthe box, as well as encouraging creative risk taking amongst her students.”
In addition to being a treasured and respected member of the PSAS learning team, Tiffany is passionate aboutcontributing to the betterment of art education throughout the state through her involvement in CAEA. Tiffany firstentered the CAEA arena in 2005 as a student with youthful enthusiasm and inexhaustible energy. Never one to tiptoein timidly, Tiffany presented a workshop her first year attending the conference and has continued to do so every yearsince.

It is impossible to be around her and not get a little extra pep in your step.She does everything in her life without fear and with a little extra flair. She loves teaching and it shows. She is involvedin the art community outside of school, and is an artist of exceptional ability. I proudly stand behind my nominationof Tiffany Holbrook as Private/Independent/Charter School Art Educator of the Year.”

In addition to teaching art full time at the Joliet Learning Center in Aurora,Vanessa Hayes-Quintana has served tirelessly over the past eight years as the editorof CAEA’s art journal, Collage. During that time, Vanessa has proved herself to be aninvaluable contributor to CAEA, having worked tirelessly toward improvement ofCollage’s credibility, format, and style.
Vanessa first came to the position as editor more than eight years ago whenNatalie Barnes, the beloved editor of Collage, placed an ad in Collage asking for help.Vanessa jumped into the challenge feet first, not only taking over as editor from Na-talie but also assuming many of the responsibilities of the advertising chair.
It was during Vanessa’s tenure as editor that Collage made the transitionfrom hard copy to today’s digital, online journal. Upon consensus from CAEA’s councilto go digital, it was Vanessa who took it upon herself to make it happen, helping tousher CAEA into the 21st century and allowing CAEA members to receive Collagein full color for the first time.
As part of this process, the fall issue of Collage was transformed, combining all the features of a traditional issue withthose of the Fall Conference program book. The new Collage format allowed CAEA members to share conference informationin a timely manner with school administrators, which assisted art educators in encouraging administrators to fund their atten-dance at the Fall Conference.
While stretching the magazine in these new directions, Vanessa upheld the magazine’s quality content. Foremostamong the interests she promoted as editor was building connections. She did so by publishing articles by educators in K-12and higher education as well as by working professionals. She welcomed articles about finding inspiration for teaching art inplaces as diverse as museums, flea markets, and ballroom dancing.
Similarly, she oversaw a well-rounded focus on professional development. Besides publishing articles to help teachersunderstand and incorporate the new visual arts standards, she published articles that encouraged teachers to continue theirown art making and to participate in the art education community through events such as ArtSource, the Fall Conference, andCAEA’s exhibits.
Rosemary Reinhart, copy editor of Collage, reflects upon Vanessa’s tenure, stating, “Vanessa brought a passion for artand art education as well as a big-picture perspective that created positive, catalytic change for Collage and CAEA. Vanessa wasalways enthusiastic and respectful in our collaboration. She impressed me with her openness, her generosity, and her commit-ment to bringing out discerning articles that would pass on the passion for art. She provided an exceptional service to CAEAthrough expanding the reach of Collage while continuing its tradition as a thought-provoking, insightful publication for art ed-ucators, students, and friends of art.”
CAEA Past President Robin Wolfe concludes, “Vanessa like many of us has a full life at home, with more challenges thanmost of us face. She is a wonderful teacher and works with patience and understanding at a school for challenged students. Yetshe still goes above and beyond to find time for her profession and colleagues through her involvement in CAEA. I know thatshe deeply regrets having to leave her position as editor at this time as she transitions into her role as our organization’s PresidentElect, having loved her work with the magazine and the connection it created with our members. Receiving our DistinguishedService Within the Profession Award is a fitting tribute for all that she has done for our organization, as well as continues to do.”

Cesar Chavez Academy Denver (CCA) is a K-8, Title I public charter school
in Northwest Denver. The school’s unique, pedagogical approach to curriculum
development is founded in the intent to create an environment of rich diversity
and differentiation of instruction. Its highly diverse population of students de-
mands a challenging use of all learning modalities to assure continuous progress
throughout the school year.
Garden Marantino is a highly respected and beloved member of the CCA
teaching staff. Although his content area is language arts, Garden loves, respects,
and appreciates a visual art education because it helps students access their full
potential. This has made him a valued colleague and champion of CCA art teacher,
Jesse Diaz.
Throughout his tenure at CCA, Garden has been instrumental in collaborating with others to make sure his
middle-school students are set up for success. Armed with a deep understanding of the potential of the visual arts to
profoundly impact student engagement, Garden effectively wields the power of the visual arts to motivate students
and help them achieve comprehension and success. Each year he creates and covers the walls of his classroom with
high-contrast posters that portray various human-rights advocates from around the world. Each poster includes a
quotation from the depicted individual that embodies the spirit of his or her purpose. In accordance with CCA tradition,
the posters are thoroughly utilized and referred to throughout the year and then given to students to inspire them to
continued effort and success.
In addition to his inclusion of the visual arts to motivate student learning, Garden regularly extends himself
beyond the boundaries of his content area, reaching out to CCA art teacher Jesse Diaz to collaborate with him on var-
ious art-based projects. In 2013, Garden’s idea revolved around the creation of a Cesar Chavez commemorative t-shirt.
The student-designed, silk-screened shirts were to be worn during the Annual Cesar Chavez March, celebrating the
birth of the human-rights advocate for whom the academy is named. This year, Garden and Jesse’s collaborative efforts
manifested themselves in the design and creation of silk-screened “Aquila” flags that were used in a school-wide as-
sembly to, once again, honor CCA’s namesake.
Jesse concludes, “Mr. Marantino’s passion for art in the education of his students is clearly visible in his teach-
ing. In addition, Garden is always willing to help out with art in any capacity. I would like to take this opportunity to

For more than 30 years, Kathy Wernsman has dedicated herlife’s work to promoting art education in Colorado. Now retired, herdedication and passion is undiminished. Karen continues to serve ourprofession as an advocate, mentor, and inspiration, and continues topositively impact arts education in the state of Colorado.
As a teacher in the Fleming School District, Karen’s classeswere without parallel. Karen continually sought innovative ways tobring fresh ideas and approaches to creatively challenge her students.In addition, having had the rare opportunity to teach and track childrenfrom kindergarten to twelfth grade, Karen meticulously created indi-vidual portfolios for each student. The portfolios contained samplework from their first art-making experiences until the end of their high-school careers. These portfolios, uponbeing revealed during senior year, served as poignant testaments of each child’s personal artistic journey andgrowth.
Throughout her career, Kathy continually pursued knowledge in order to hone her craft by staying in-volved with her fellow artists and community and by reciprocating whenever possible. As an active member ofboth ArtSource Colorado and the Colorado Art Education Association (CAEA), she regularly attends CAEA’s fallconference where she has taught workshops. When administrators did not feel the fall conference was a gooduse of funds, Kathy even lobbied local districts to allow other art teachers to attend.
Not content to rest upon her laurels after retirement, Kathy continues to advocate for the importance ofart in her community. She has been instrumental in organizing and operating the Prairie Winds Art Center ofHolyoke, Colorado. This recently-opened art center contains an art gallery and classroom area as well as a giftshop. Kathy arranges monthly exhibits and teaches classes and workshops. She continues to work with children,helping them develop a love of art. She also mentors young art instructors in the area.
Additionally, Kathy currently serves as a board member of the Phillips County Arts Council. This nonprofitorganization promotes musical performance and art expression in northeastern Colorado and southwestern Ne-braska. She raises funds and helps organize an annual concert series and assists with the annual Phillips CountyArt Show. In 2013, Kathy served as judge of the student art show.
Teresa Mailander, secretary to the Phillips Arts Council, concludes, “During this time when budget issueshave limited or ended art education in many rural schools, I am thankful for teachers like Kathy Wernsman whodedicated her career to instilling in her students a love for art. Kathy understands the role that art plays in theoverall intellectual development of the individual. In her retirement she continues to share her knowledge withmembers of her community while finally having time to create her own art. For these many reasons, I am honoredto nominate Kathy for CAEA’s Retired Art Educator of the Year.”

Robin Gallite is an educator and advocate who continues to actively contributeto the advancement of the field of art education in Colorado. As Director of Educationat RedLine in the heart of Denver, Robin is responsible for coordinating RedLine’s Edu-cational Partnership Initiative for the Creative (E.P.I.C.) Arts program. According to theE.P.I.C. Arts program website, the program "empowers young people to become activeinterpreters within their own unique art practice alongside a professional artist both inand outside of the classroom. The art-making process and resulting artwork becomes amedium through which young people can hone their critical thinking, communicationand collaboration skills and express their unique perspective and ideas about today’sworld."
RedLine partners resident artists with art educators and their students. Togetherthey collaborate to create works of art using the media of the resident artist and lookingthrough the lens of contemporary social justice. The E.P.I.C. Arts program experience culminates each semester in a studentshow at RedLine's Project Space.
Vanessa Hayes-Quintana's students were privileged to participate in the E.P.I.C. Arts program. According to Vanessa,“E.P.I.C. brings students’ school and life experiences full circle in a meaningful and authentic fashion. Robin always thought-fully facilitates the partnerships between the artist and the school to create the most perfect match. She attends to theunique needs of the student population as the artist and school collaborate in the art making process. Robin supportsstudents’ critical thinking and diverse outcomes through the partnerships, student visits to the gallery, tours and educationopportunities, and accommodating the spectacular art work in the gallery shows.”
The E.P.I.C. Arts program provides a bridge from nontraditional educational spaces to traditional neighborhoodsettings and is critical to maintaining a thriving and robust arts education community in Colorado. The contemporary andforward-thinking, student-centered pedagogy with which the E.P.I.C. Arts program is being implemented is a direct re-flection of both RedLine’s and Robin’s cutting-edge leadership and expansive vision with regards to progressive art edu-cation and authentic art making. The E.P.I.C. Arts program inspires students to be practitioners who think beyond theexpected and embrace their identity as artists who can contribute to positive change in the world. To that extent, we areall indebted to Robin.
Metropolitan State University of Denver (MSU) Professor Rachael Delaney says, “Robin Gallite has consistentlydemonstrated her commitment to the importance of the arts in the lives of all children. Recognizing the role of nontra-ditional educational spaces is critical to maintaining a thriving and robust arts education community in the State of Col-orado. Every time Robin is able to bring the E.P.I.C. Arts program into a neighborhood school she is directly impacting andsupporting this growth.”
Similarly, MSU Professor Anne Thulson concludes, “Robin is the glue that makes all this happen. Her commitmentto children, contemporary art and teachers is inspiring and has made artists more aware of art education and studentsmore aware of the professional art world. It gives teachers the opportunity to shine and celebrate their often-invisiblepractice of the classroom. Robin has done and continues to do this work with a welcoming spirit and tenacious energyand is highly deserving of this prestigious honor.”

BiographiesTom Mazzullo
The Secrets of Silverpoint
Students will learn the old master technique of silverpoint drawing, practiced in theRenaissance, then lost for 500 years. Instructor will begin with a brief history and ex-amples of work. Students will prepare their own materials for drawing, and open classtime will be held afterward for drawing from the still-life.Born in Williamsport, Pennsylvania in 1968, Tom Mazzullo earned a BFA from TylerSchool of Art in Philadelphia in 1990, and an MFA from Syracuse University in 1993. Hehas drawings in museums, foundations, and private collections, including the EversonMuseum of Art in Syracuse, New York, and the Telfair Museum of Art in Savannah,Georgia. He teaches at the University of Denver, is affiliated with Gildar Gallery and theArts Students League in Denver, Colorado. His work is drawing in the medievalmedium of silverpoint. He starts with simple subjects, like scraps of paper twisted intoshapes, in order to make complex, beautiful drawings that scintillate under the effectsof light and shade. His interest in drawing has become much more about grace, complexity, and concept in the past twoyears. The paleness and precision of silverpoint allows him to work slowly, spending time examining the subject thenbringing it to life gradually, in subtle, exact tones.

Penney Bidwell
Heads Up
In this workshop participants will learn how to sculpt a small bust in ceramic clay. Basicanatomy will be discussed but students will be encouraged to build intuitively and let thesubconscious guide them.I came into the world on April Fools’ Day, 1968, and was born into the carnival. My motherhad been an accomplished ballerina and later a showgirl on the travelling carnival. My fa-ther was a third generation carnie and ride owner. My great grandmother was the tattooedlady in the early 1930’s. The carnival is part of my history and ever present in my subcon-scious. I strive to capture the intimate and internal experience of the human condition inmy artwork. My figures each stand alone, even when part of a group. Each characteremerges from the clay directly from my subconscious--characters of imagination, past ex-periences, family stories, motherhood, fairy tales, and dreams. They are soulful beings, re-flective of deep inner experiences: joy, sadness, pride, or embarrassment. Whatever the feeling, it is part of theexperience of being human. My new work, "Holding On" explores the notion of holding onto things, people, and ideas.The figures are holding onto something either literally or figuratively. Technically, my sculptural pieces are hand-builtfrom clay and combine slips, oxides, underglazes, and glazes. I strive to create harmonious surfaces that have an under-lying complexity that engages the viewer. Each sculpture is multi-fired, anywhere from 3 to 7 times. My intent is not tocontrol my inspirations, but to remain open and let the imagery inspire me as it develops. My subconscious guides myhands, and the story unfolds as I work. The mystery of not knowing where a piece will take me and what I will discover ispart of the process that inspires me.

Courtney Cotton
Mixed Media Collage
“When printed images are torn, when textures confront, when artifacts are assembled to-gether, when ideas collide, there’s always something grandiose happening, the edificationof a new world. It goes way beyond paper and ink, and I like it." DepelteauIn one composition we will repurpose a painting by tearing it into pieces and using it in anew composition with pieces of metal, string or other bits and pieces that work well withthe former painting. Please try to bring a painting on paper or canvas you never resolved tothis workshop. If time permits we can also explore sense of humor in collage by using print images. Materi-als will be provided but if there are certain catalogues, magazines, or images you like feelfree to bring these to make your collage more personal.
Intuitive Watercolor
Cotton will demonstrate the way she paints using acrylic paint and other water-soluble materials. We will make both a representational and non-representationalpainting that will invite the viewer to participate. Be prepared to paint looser,bolder, freer, lighter and more intuitively. Think experimental and fun.Courtney Cotton is currently living and working in Denver, Colorado. She studiedart and architecture at the University of South Carolina, Rhode Island School ofDesign, and Queens College.An artist who is unafraid to express herself and her zest for people and life, shedraws on the influences and inspirations from her travels and experiences puttingthem effortlessly into her art. It is no wonder she says, “I have more than one vi-sual voice and some find it hard to define or categorize my style.” Sometimes her work is thematic, but just as often shehas the impulse to create something without representing anything.Some of her favorite pieces just came about from the act of playing with paint and paper, “I consciously react with themedium, the activity of creating is paramount, and therefore the results happen automatically with the unconscious in-fluence of experiences and emotions.” Her latest accomplishment was winning a hotel card key design for Marriott’sSpringHill Suites. As more private collectors and businesses continue to support her art, Cotton is garnering the disci-pline and confidence it takes to become a prolific artist.

The artist as practitioner, researcher, and teacher is the taproot of the CAEA 2014 Conference. A leading edge in thenational conversation on education is instruction of concepts and divergent/problem solving thinking. Visual arts studiopractices and application are in part divergent and conceptual thinking. Students in the environment of practice, andinquiry through concept-based instruction are better able to transfer the integrated approaches of rigor and proceduralfluency through the arts as well as into the regular classroom. The 2014 CAEA Conference focus is on the application and studio practice of the artist visual arts practices and appli-cations within the studio classroom. At the conference, professional development opportunities for art educators mightbe either self-selected, or art educators may select to participate in the conference within a specific strand related tothe Colorado Visual Arts Academic Standards, 21st Century Skills, assessment practices in the visual arts, inquiry-based instructional models, data collection and Educator Effectiveness centered on visual arts practice, application andinstruction.
CAEA has designed a workshop strand for art educators interested in expanding their instructional practice in concept-based learning, Colorado Visual Arts Academic Standards as well as elevating 21st century skills in the studio class-room. The following is a suggested professional development workshop strand:
Art educators participating in the above strand can expect professional development that puts into practical applicationfor the studio classroom the following: • Elevating 21st Century Skills in todayʼs studio classroom.• Practical approaches in visual arts content as related to art inquiry and studio practice• Formative and Summative Assessment practices
o Using student data to drive instruction• Deeper understanding (in a hold-harmless year) of Educator Effectiveness in the visual arts • Meaningfully integrated and cross-curriculum practices within the visual arts

Spirit Figures Master Class
When you create a “spirit figure,” the idea is to be mindful, perhaps even prayer-
ful, of your purpose. As you embellish your work with carefully chosen ribbon,
fabric, and beads, you are imbuing it with vitality and strength for your intended
mission.
Connie Robbins-Brady (MA, LPC) has the joy of holding two unique positions in
Mesa County Valley schools. Not only is she a school counselor providing class-
room, small group, and individual art counseling at Loma Elementary (Loma, CO),
she is also the visual arts coordinator for 26 elementary schools. She worked in
private practice and was instrumental in developing a hospice bereavement pro-
gram prior to her work in education. Robbins-Brady believes creative art-making
helps people of all ages communicate and work through difficulties toward healing.

Think experimental and fun.Courtney Cotton is currently living and working in Denver, Colorado. She studiedart and architecture at the University of South Carolina, Rhode Island School of De-sign, and Queens College.An artist who is unafraid to express herself and her zest for people and life, she drawson the influences and inspirations from her travels and experiences putting themeffortlessly into her art. It is no wonder she says, “I have more than one visual voiceand some find it hard to define or categorize my style.” Sometimes her work is the-matic, but just as often she has the impulse to create something without represent-ing anything.Some of her favorite pieces just came about from the act of playing with paint andpaper, “I consciously react with the medium, the activity of creating is paramount,and therefore the results happen automatically with the unconscious influence ofexperiences and emotions.” Her latest accomplishment was winning a hotel card keydesign for Marriott’s SpringHill Suites. As more private collectors and businessescontinue to support her art, Cotton is garnering the discipline and confidence ittakes to become a prolific artist.

The Secrets of Silverpoint Master ClassStudents will learn the old master technique of silverpoint drawing, practiced in the Renaissance, then lost for500 years. Instructor will begin with a brief history and examples of work. Students will prepare their own ma-terials for drawing, and open class time will be held afterward for drawing from the still-life.Born in Williamsport, Pennsylvania in 1968, Tom Mazzullo earned a BFA from Tyler School of Art in Philadelphiain 1990, and an MFA from Syracuse University in 1993. He has drawings in museums, foundations, and privatecollections, including the Everson Museum of Art in Syracuse, New York, and the Telfair Museum of Art in Sa-vannah, Georgia. He teaches at the University of Denver, is affiliated with Gildar Gallery and the Arts StudentsLeague in Denver, Colorado. His work is drawing in the medieval medium of silverpoint. He starts with simplesubjects, like scraps of paper twisted into shapes, in order to make complex, beautiful drawings that scintillateunder the effects of light and shade. His interest in drawing has become much more about grace, complexity,and concept in the past two years. The paleness and precision of silverpoint allows him to work slowly, spendingtime examining the subject then bringing it to life gradually, in subtle, exact tones.

Reclaiming Your Creative SoulAs teachers, we often give and do so much for everyone else. Not only do we haveto balance working with hundreds of kids and being part of a large team at ourschools, we also give of ourselves at home and in our relationships. Even thoughwe teach art to others, sometimes we get so busy that we forget to do art for our-selves and we lose touch with our own creativity. Along the way, we may forgetthat underneath it all is our AUTHENTIC, CREATIVE, VIBRANT SELF! This workshop is aimed at honoring and reclaiming our most sacred connection ofall - the connection with our authentic self and soul. When we awaken and tap intoour creativity, we often find a deeper sense of meaning in our lives and can livewith more purpose, passion and joy. Connecting to our creativity also sparks us andgives us more energy and love not only for ourselves, but to give to others as well.Come spend an inspiring afternoon with an incredible group of teachers recon-necting with your authentic self and letting go of limiting beliefs, thoughts and ac-tions. Lead by a former art teacher, art therapist and author Anya Beebe, will takeyou on a journey of rediscovering and reclaiming your deeper sense of meaning.Through guided visualization, pastels / mixed media, and creative expression, youwill have the opportunity to reclaim and revitalize your creative self.

Large Abstract Organic Drawing Master ClassIn this workshop participants will learn how to sculpt a small bust in ceramic clay. Basic anatomy will be discussed but studentswill be encouraged to build intuitively and let the subconscious guide them.I came into the world on April Fools’ Day, 1968, and was born into the carnival. My mother had been an accomplished ballerinaand later a showgirl on the travelling carnival. My father was a third generation carnie and ride owner. My great grandmotherwas the tattooed lady in the early 1930’s. The carnival is part of my history and ever present in my subconscious. I strive to capturethe intimate and internal experience of the human condition in my artwork. My figures each stand alone, even when part of agroup. Each character emerges from the clay directly from my subconscious--characters of imagination, past experiences, familystories, motherhood, fairy tales, and dreams. They are soulful beings, reflective of deep inner experiences: joy, sadness, pride, orembarrassment. Whatever the feeling, it is part of the experience of being human. My new work, "Holding On" explores thenotion of holding onto things, people, and ideas. The figures are holding onto something either literally or figuratively. Technically,my sculptural pieces are hand-built from clay and combine slips, oxides, underglazes, and glazes. I strive to create harmonioussurfaces that have an underlying complexity that engages the viewer. Each sculpture is multi-fired, anywhere from 3 to 7 times.My intent is not to control my inspirations, but to remain open and let the imagery inspire me as it develops. My subconsciousguides my hands, and the story unfolds as I work. The mystery of not knowing where a piece will take me and what I will discoveris part of the process that inspires me.
