September 15th is International Dot Day which is essentially about making your mark in the world even if you just start with a dot. Stacy and Eric discuss whether grilled cheese and cheese toast are the same thing (tune in to see where they land) before moving on to movies they can happily watch on repeat. Their lists are quite different which makes for an interesting selection. Vance Dingfelder of Dingfelder's Delicatessen and Nourish Catering talks about his bagel schmears including the one named after Stacy, the Ah-live Stacy Olive Schmear.

Betsy is a terrible cheat. She broke our rule that we wouldn't consider a book less than 20 years old for this podcast. But today's book is 19 years old so is it really breaking the rule or, rather, stretching it to its limit? Today, we look a little closer at the story where the kid who says they're not into art gets a private showing of 28 pieces. Does this book deserve the sheer amount of attention and acclaim that it's attained in the intervening 19 years since its publication? Gotta listen and see. Show Notes: Today's book may be the first we've done that has its own holiday. Curious about International Dot Day? Check it out at its own website. A bit lacking on its own history, and parts need to be updated, but still cool: https://www.internationaldotday.org/ For the full Show Notes please visit: https://afuse8production.slj.com/2022/04/25/fuse-8-n-kate-the-dot-by-peter-h-reynolds/

But her teacher is sure that she can.

So, I said I wasn’t going to release an episode this week…and I’m not really. This is a mini-episode to share more about our upcoming exhibit. I am so excited to be working with Maria Coit of Curated for Kids on this project. Contemporary Art For Young Audiences is what we’re calling this collaboration between Teaching Artist Podcast and Curated for Kids. Our first exhibit is titled See Where It Takes You. This is an online group exhibition opening July 10, 2020. During this Great Pause while we are spending more time at home connected through devices, this exhibit brings contemporary artwork and inspiration to children in their homes. This is more than an exhibit - it is also a resource for parents and art teachers. This exhibit showcases for young audiences the work of nine artists, many of whom are also teachers. The show includes video interviews with artists sharing their creative process, the meanings behind their work, and their advice for aspiring artists. The title comes from The Dot by Peter H. Reynolds. “Just make a mark and see where it takes you.” says Vashti’s teacher in The Dot. This book is a favorite of elementary art teachers and has even inspired International Dot Day celebrations around the world. That first dot Vashti makes leads her on a journey of creating all sorts of dots, exploring color and scale, positive and negative space. Like many contemporary artists, she discovers an interest and digs into it, pushing her work in new directions. Participating Artists: Pamella Allen Stephanie Barenz Aaron Bos-Wahl Deane V. Bowers Nikki Brugnoli Denise Gasser Heather Lowe Deborah Reilly Alice Stone Collins While our focus is on sharing artwork in an accessible way, the work will be for sale. 70% of sales will directly support the artists, while 20% will be donated to an incredible organization. We are thrilled to support Amplifier through this exhibit. They offer free programming for educators and have also developed at-home learning toolkits. “The Education Amplifier program is committed to amplifying the voices of social change movements through art and community engagement by creating meaningful ways for educators and their students to join the conversation. We achieve this by collaborating with social change movements to create and distribute teaching tools such as artwork, lesson plans, art builds, and storytelling opportunities to registered Amplifier educators for their classrooms. We are bridging the gap between education and social change movements to inspire youth around the country to lead social change.” Join us for our opening online event on Friday, July 10th in instagram live! We’re also planning to do an artist talk event series, so be sure to follow us @teachingartistpodcast and @curatedforkids. I can’t wait!! You can support this exhibition and podcast in many ways!

Dear DCIS Parents, Thank you to all Secondary parents who attended the Secondary Curriculum Evening last week. I would also like to thank Mr Bull and the Secondary team for their time and hard work. I am very proud of the Secondary School that we now have, the atmosphere in the new block is amazing. The Red Dot Restaurant is a fantastic place to gather and we fully understand that our students enjoy coming in early to catch up with their friends. Just a reminder that students should not be on campus before 8.00am, unless they are participating in an organised activity, such as swimming, as we are unable to supervise them due to morning meetings and planning time. Our students Emma and Sameeksha attended the Pearson Edexcel Outstanding Learner Award ceremony last week. They were awarded prizes for their iGCSE results, Emma had achieved the highest mark in Asia in Global Citizenship and Sameeksha the highest mark in Geography in Singapore. I would also like to congratulate their teachers, Mrs Hyland and Mr Woodhall, achievements like these truly reflect the dedication and passion of our staff. Tomorrow, Tuesday 10th September, Assistant Head of Primary Mr Tallett will lead the Parent workshop – Primary Assessment and Reporting. We look forward to seeing our Primary parents in Cooper Hall at 8.45am. Our parent association, the DCA, will hold their AGM Wednesday 11th September in the Music Room by the Main Canteen, all parents are invited! The agenda and events calendar are attached below. After almost three weeks of intense sports trials we have reached the last week of trials for this season, good luck to the Years 7 and 8 students who are trialling for the U13 FOBISIA Games. I would like to congratulate all students who were invited to a team after the trials and I would also like to say well done to all who did their very best in the trials but didn’t quite make it. Keep practicing and keep being active - next time it might be your turn! Our youngest students in Nursery and Reception will be celebrating International Dot Day on Friday, I look forward to seeing lots of dots around school. Our ECAs commence on Friday, 13th September, please note that ECA buses are only available to students from Year 2 and above. Finally, I am pleased to announce that Maylis and Ishita in Year 12 are our two new Head Students this academic year. Have a great week.
International Dot Day, based on Peter Reynold’s book, The Dot, is coming up on September 15th. The Dot is the story of Vashti who is overwhelmed at the sight of a blank piece of paper. Her art teacher gently encourages her to explore art her way. Most art teachers consider Peter Reynold’s books essential reads for the art room as he addresses the issues children face when learning how to be an artist. What I love about the story is the underlying importance of expressive art. This episode takes a look at why expressive art is so important for children and offers you a variety of art projects that are not only perfect for Dot Day. I can’t wait to hear how you celebrate Dot day and what projects work for you! IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN: Why expressive art is so important to include in your art room plans How The Dot can help you create a new focus for your class What lessons can be learned from The Dot to overcome various challenges and empower your students Why you need to take a cautious approach to doing any kind of directed drawing project, especially with younger children How craft paper can be used for projects that all children contribute to LISTEN TO THE SHOW SHOW NOTES: Dot Day Song Dot Day Lyrics LESSONS FROM THE PODCAST: Here's a short video I created for a watercolor project to celebrate Dot Day. All you need is a square piece of watercolor paper, water-soluble oil pastels/gel sticks OR you can use non-soluble oil pastels to create a true resist. Then, just use liquid watercolor paints to create this happy dot. Reminds me of a Yellowstone's Geyser! https://d3ndagut9sanks.cloudfront.net/2017-D/VID-09/Dot+Day+Watercolor.mp4 Tint & Pattern Circles Kandinsky and the Rainbow Art Project Color, Line and Pattern Art Project Hundertwasser Art Lesson for Kids
