Lisa Girlie – Editor Summer 2014
Summer!
Sung to the tune In Summer with Olaf -
“I don’t know why but I’ve always loved the
idea of summer and sun and all things hot!”
‘Guess you haven’t seen summer in awhile?’
“Nope. Sometimes I like to close my eyes and
imagine what it’d be like when summer does
come...aaah...
bees they’ll buzz
kids will blow dandelion fuzz and I’ll be
doing every art teacher does in summer...”
Summer is here so what are you going to do?
Northwest has exciting things to offer you
this summer. There is a ‘field trip’ to
Grand Rapids, MI, SLO Sharing and Support
workshop with a social lunch afterwards, and
a Learning in Visual Art workshop with Nancy
Pistone. Join us in some NWOAEA fun and
relevant professional development. More
workshops in the works so stayed tuned!
“...a drink in my hand
my drawing pad up against the burning sand
probably getting gorgeously tanned in summer
Dah Dah Dah Doo Uh Bah Bah Bah Bah Boo...”
Enjoy everyone and I hope to see you all
soon!

Northwest Awards Evening 2014
On May 29, 2014 we celebrated our northwest Outstanding Art Teacher, three service award recipients, and Dr. David Guip’s OAEA state award. We also took the opportunity to thank members for their service to the organization. The event was hosted at the Art Supply Depo. When you stop into the shop thank Jules for her generosity. It was a great night full of conversation, food, wine, and gratitude. Consider joining us next year.
Our northwest 2014 Outstanding Art Teacher is Jacque Sperling. We look forward to celebrating her at conference in November. We also honored our three northwest service award recipients: Elaine Dickendasher as Distinguished Citizen for Art Education, Fuzed Glass Studio, Ann Hymel, as Distinguished Business for Art Education, and Brian Kennedy, director of the Toledo Museum of Art, as Distinguished Educator for Art Education. Our very own Dr. David Guip has received the OAEA statewide Outstanding Higher Educator award from the Higher Education Division. We look forward to celebrating him at conference in November. David also received the Outstanding Teacher in the College of Communications and the Arts from the University of Toledo. What a year you’ve had Dr. Guip! Recently retired art teacher, Karrie King, was honored for all her service and reliable encouragement and support to others. Northwest is so lucky to have her. Last but not least northwest thanked Diane Thorpe for being our local 2013 Toledo conference coordinator. What a great conference it was! Thanks Diane.
Your chance to nominate a well deserving individual will be during our northwest luncheon/meeting at the Columbus conference in November. Begin thinking of an OAT and/or people who are deserving of these Distinguished Art Education awards for the 2015 year.
Special thanks to Ani Geha, Ann Hymel, Ginger Pacer, and Lisa Girlie for helping make the evening special!

NWOAEA Teacher Feature: Karrie King
A HeARTfelt Goodbye: AWHS Bids Farewell to their Punniest Art Teacher
By: Jana Life
2014 Anthony Wayne High school Graduate
Former Co-Editor-In-Chief of the General’s Dispatch
When given the task of writing a feature on
Mrs. King in honor of her retirement, I was
nothing less than ecstatic. What a wonderful
opportunity for me to give a great teacher the
recognition she deserves.
Mrs. King began her career at Anthony
Wayne in 1992. It was a rocky start, however, as
this was the year the tornado demolished one
of our buildings! Since then, Mrs. King has
witnessed AW evolve into the school that it is
today.
“I remember the year that the art show had to
be moved from the high school to Fallen
Timbers Middle School because the high school
was under construction. They were putting the
second floor overtop of sophomore hall! I also
remember looking out of my art room window
(room 155) at my car in the parking lot before
the Tech Wing was added on to the high
school,” said King.
She also witnessed the building of the new
gym and auditorium along with the main office
and Media Center remodel. Throughout her
years at AW she even had the privilege of
teaching our own Mrs. Studer and Mr. Graven.
Even though she doesn’t look it, Mrs. King has
been a part of the Anthony Wayne community
for 22 years. Throughout those years she has
made a bigger impact on our school than most
people realize; especially in the lives of the art
students and her fellow art teachers.
“Mrs. King is the most thoughtful person to
everyone she comes in contact with. She has
been like a family member to me and she treats
others as family, which makes it more difficult
to see her leave. She makes each individual
student feel special by her attentiveness to
their interests and strengths,” says Mrs. Flagg, a
fellow art teacher and good friend.
Ms. Murphy, our other AWHS art teacher, has
worked with Mrs. King for 17 years. She says
that Mrs. King taught her “to be a better
teacher and person and to always look at the
positive.” Which is something I think she
encouraged all her students to do. “She has
taught me how great it is when you bring a
positive attitude into your daily activities can
result in good outcomes... and how great
working together as a team in making plans
brings great possibilities” said Flagg.
Throughout their years at AWHS, these three
art teachers became inseparable. When asked
what she will miss most about Mrs. King being
in the building, Mrs. Murphy said this: “I will
miss my roomie… I will miss our
partnership. Over the years we have become
partners, friends and colleagues. We traveled
together. We co-chaired the art department for
several years. We presented several workshops
together. So most of all I'm going to miss my
partner.”
Mrs. King made a huge impact on the Anthony
Wayne Art community in her 22 years. She won
NW Outstanding Art Teacher in ‘96, served as
the Co-Chair for the Art Department and Co-
director of the FOCUS Show for five years and
held several positions in our local art
association (NWOAEA), including regional
director, newsletter editor and PR rep.
Says Mrs. Flagg, “She [King] has been a
relentless advocate to keeping art in education
and enhancing its quality in instruction. She is a
devoted leader, member and honoree of
awards, in our local art education professional
organization. I am sure she will continue this
devotion in her new life outside AW.”
But aside from her impressive resume, Mrs.
King is an incredible person who enhances the
lives of everyone she meets. Her engaging
personality and passion towards art lit a fire in
each of her students, no matter what skill level
they possessed. She is kind, tirelessly
encouraging, and always has a good pun up her
sleeve.
Mrs. King is an incredibly helpful person.
Whether it be her students, walking the Susan
G. Komen, painting set designs for the play or
being Art Club director, she is there to lend a
hand.
I think it would be safe to say that Mrs. King’s
artistic talent is only matched by her
thoughtfulness.
“She [King] always recognizes significant
events (birthdays, holidays, accomplishments,
challenges in life, etc) with a greeting card. This
is just one small way that she lets others know
others are in her thoughts when not in her
presence,” said Flagg. Mrs. Murphy also said
that Mrs. King was always a friend that was
there for her when she needed someone to talk
to and was the one to keep them organized. As
a student of King’s, I can attest to each one of
these wonderful qualities. I have witnessed
first-hand her patience, humor and impeccable
artistic ability. I feel so fortunate that I was able
to meet her and profit from her wisdom and
guidance.
Obviously Anthony Wayne will miss this
wonderful teacher that has done so much for
our community, but I think we are all very
proud of Mrs. King and wish her the best in her
years to come. She plans to do more art
making, travel and spend lots of time with
family.
Though she appreciates all kinds of art, Mrs. King has always had a soft spot for metal work. Courtesy of Murphy and Life

Northwest Schools Art Shows
Elmhurst Elementary School Elementary Annual Art Show
Grades K through 8th Dawn Murphy – Elmhurst Art Teacher
“This is the 15th year I have put on the end of year showcase of my students work. Grades K-8, all 520
students are represented in the show. It takes about a week to get it hung and each student receives a
ribbon of participation, or a first, second or third place certificate and ribbon.”
Dawn Murphy
“Zentangle Portraits” were a project done by Antwerp High School Art II students taught by Lisa Girlie
and retaught by second grade teacher Mary Jane Miller. The younger students used the olders students
as a resource when creating their own portraits. Their artwork was featured in a Defiance Crescent
News article. Lisa Girlie
Yarn Storm in Lima
Come to downtown Lima to see a public art project created to reiterate the importance of the arts in schools and the community. Students from Shawnee, Bath, Elida and Lima Senior stormed the downtown area with yarn on May 10th, resulting in some public art in unexpected places. Yarn storming is a type of street art that incorporates yarn to decorate railings, benches, trees and the like in public spaces. Pieces were decorated and covered in yarn that has been crocheted, knitted, loomed, formed or wrapped to fit. The project originated in Mr. Krawetzke's Advanced Drawing Class when a student asked if he "knew anything about yarn bombing" and turned into this huge event. Over 100 students worked on knitting and crocheting for 6 months. They held yarn parties at the school, public library, nursing homes and businesses throughout the year leading up to the yarn storm. The Cincinnati Bombshells even made a visit to Shawnee to inspire the students and give advice. The students raised funds through fundraisers and sought out local sponsors. The students even made hundreds of yarn pom pom dolls to hand out at a local MS Walk that took place the same day as the yarn storm.

YAM and YPAE Announcement
All artwork exhibited in the state YAM and YPAE shows will now be returned to the regional directors at the Columbus May board meeting. The only artwork that is not returned are those region/s from which the conference will be held. For example Central’s artwork will stay with the coordinators to be exhibited at the upcoming Columbus conference and then returned at the conclusion of conference. In the following year northeast’s artwork will be held to be showcased at the 2015 Cleveland conference.
This means your student’s artwork has already been returned to our region. I have been in contact with most of the teachers and have passed on some artwork already. Please contact me, Denise Pannell, or Lisa Girlie to locate your artwork.
Check out all of the YAM and YPAE on Artsonia!
