Professional Development:
RIDE Credits will be available for these RIAEA sponsored Roundtables!
Summer Courses at Rhode Island College
This summer and every summer, Rhode Island College has a whole range of ART courses (not "Art Education" courses this summer, but perhaps in the future) that you can take for graduate credit! Also, in every Fall and Spring there are many Art, Art Education, Art History, and Art Media courses (usually listed with undergraduate numbers) -- that you can with special arrangement take for GRADUATE CREDIT.
For Art class offerings this summer at RIC, check out this link and, again, please be aware that virtually all of these art courses may be taken for graduate credit with special arrangement with the instructor:
http://www.ric.edu/art/summer.php
For example, there are drawing, painting, ceramics, and computer graphics (i.e., Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, and Flash) classes offered that you may take for graduate credit.
To register, please navigate through the RIC website at www.ric.edu -- or if you have questions or need assistance with registering for Art courses, please contact Maureen Iantuano (Art Dept. secretary) at miantuano or Professor Nancy Bockbrader (Chair of the Art Dept.) at nbockbrader@ric.edu for assistance.
These RIC classes, even when taken for graduate credit, are reasonably priced, convenient, and will be a wonderful professional development endeavor for applied use in your art teaching -- and to nurture your own creative spirit!

The Story in the Picture: Inquiry and Artmaking with Young Children
by RIAEA member Christine Mulcahey, with Foreword by Maxine Greene
Co-published with Teachers College Press, this book looks at the work of a variety of artists and demonstrates that using fine art reproductions in the early childhood curriculum allows children to construct their own meanings, teaches diversity, fosters thinking skills, and encourages storytelling. The author, a professor at Rhode Island College and a preK-5 art specialist, includes lesson ideas, examples of activities, and photographs of children working and interacting with one another and with works of art. Based on the NAEYC and NAEA standards, this educator-friendly resource provides:
• Numerous examples of open-ended arts experiences using reproductions of fine art from many different genres, periods, cultures, and sources.
• Art concepts to be used with children according to their developmental readiness.
• Easy-to-implement lesson ideas designed to encourage educators to create their own to fit in with their regular early childhood curriculum.
“This book has the capacity to have a profound impact on how art is viewed by educators by changing the art experience from one of insignificance to one that contributes greatly to the cognitive growth of the child.”
—Sharon Shaffer, Executive Director, Smithsonian Early Enrichment Center
120 pgs. (2009) ISBN 0-8077-5007-7
Regular: $20.00
NAEA Members: $18.00
You may purchase this book through the NAEA Store
Congratulations Christine!
