Denton/Pilot Point/Other Participants had a hectic
schedule that included tours of all five museums. A highlight
of the Denton-based institute was an experimental distance
learning program.
Denton Leader Art Specialist Rhonda Sherrill taught
multicultural body adommnet simultaneously to both Denton
and Dallas ISDs via electronic hookup from the University of
North Texas.
In Fort Worth, participants were treated to special
guest presenters, Dr. David Conn and Michael Lacapa. Conn,
Head of the Art Department at Texas Christian University,
demonstrated book binding and assisted participants as they
made their own books. Lacapa, Native American Indian author
and illustrator of children's books, such as Antelope Woman,
discussed the inportance of storytelling and the integration of
art and writing.
PIano visited an African-American art exhibit and
heard a guest lecturer at the Dallas Public Library. HEB
focused one day upon the art of Texas artist David Bates.
Bates' painting, Night Heron, is part of the ArtLinkscollection.
To continue the momentum and enthusiasm of theInstitute participants work in small groups with reproductions from ArtLinks.
learning experiences of the summer, Saturday Institute re-
newal/extended institutes are again planned. All participants
from every past institute are invited and encouraged to
attend. The first renewal of the 1993-94 school year will be
held Saturday, October 23, at the Visual Arts Center in
Denton. Additional information will be found elsewhere in the
newsletter.
A very special thank you is in orderto museum
education directors Allison Perkins (Amon Carter),
GailDavittandAileen Horan (Dallas Museum ofArt),
Marilyn Ingram (Kimbell), Marfa-Teresa Garcia
(Meadows) and Linda Powell (Modern). Without their
invaluable input and continued dedication to providing
quality art learning experiences, the job at NTIEVA
would be incrediblymore difficult. Also, a special thank
you and congratulations for a job well done to the
district art supervisors and leader art specialists
who contributed so much to the success of the 1993
Summer Institute.
1993 SUMMER INSTITUTE
ADMINISTRATORS DAY
To specifically acquaint administrators with the edu-
cational benefits of DBAE, a special Administrator's Day was
held prior to the Summer Institute on June 8 in the three art
museums in Fort Worth. Museum educators, art specialist
leaders and NTIEVA staff assembled district administrators
from consortium districts at the Kimbell Art Museum to
introduce DBAE and to unveil the ArtLinks study prints.
After an introduction to Institute goals and DBAE,
administrators were sent into the museum on an art treasure
hunt to locate the works of art reproduced in ArtLinks. As
clues were unraveled, the art hunters found an informed
teacher standing in front of each of the original works of art,
holding its ArtLinks counterpart. Teachers gave informal
lectures about the works and were amused to discover in their
audience not only the administrators, but many other mu-
seum visitors, as well.
After touring the Kimbell, administrators moved to
the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth for lunch in the atrium.
After lunch, HEB principal Russ Chapman presented a slide
show demonstrating the importance of visual arts to the entire
elementary curriculum. The administrators then repeated theNTIEvA Newsletter Page 3
