The Da Vinci Initiative at the National Art Education Association Conference

Earlier this month, The Da Vinci Initiative attended the National Art Education Association Conference as an exhibitor in Chicago. Thank you to everyone who dropped by to learn more about our organization! Every year art educators from around the world gather at the NAEA Convention to demonstrate innovations in art education. This year’s conference was called “Lead! Share Your Vision for Art Education.” While there were many different interpretations of this theme, The Da Vinci Initiative strived to show how teaching using traditional techniques is actually an innovation in today’s art world.
​
A DVI Ambassador, Camilla Haneberg taught a brilliant drawing lesson during the conference entitled “Where Did Realistic Art Go? The Resurgence of the Atelier.” During this hands-on drawing session, attendees were able to slow down and critically observe forms – Camilla’s inflatable white dogs! They made for wonderful subjects and were great for demonstrating a structured approach to drawing. Overall, it was a successful conference, and we can’t wait to participate next year in New York.

​for the Young Aspiring Artist
​
The Art Renewal Center (ARC) hosts an annual art competition for realist artists called the “ARC Salon.” This year they are introducing a special section for high school students. A $2,500 scholarship called The Da Vinci Initiative Award for the Young Aspiring Artist will be given to the winning artwork and can be used at any ARC Approved™ school or program. In addition, the winner will receive international recognition for their artwork, their instructor, and their school through the popular ARC website as well as publication in the ARC Salon catalogue. The work may also have the opportunity to travel in the live version of the exhibition, which will travel from the MAEM museum in Barcelona, Spain to New York City. Learn more about this new art competition for high school students by visiting www.arcsalon.org
