Geer's Creations - 2011 VAEA Conference

Virginia Art Educators Conference
Sheraton Hotel, Roanoke,VA
November 3 - 5, 2011

We kept our leaves on just for the visitors: orange, yellow, red and brown blend beautifully on Mill Mountain. We were inside the Sheraton, enjoying what others can teach. I gave a presentation on how to make small sculptures out of soapstone.

My first class was "Sculptural Headwear Inspired by Architecture". Angela Winters taught us that hats and buildings must balance. Strange is acceptable, but they must endure the elements.

"Here There Be Dragons" by Julie Cacciola and Rhonda Alley filled me with inspiration to create a whimsical English-style dragon. She smiled and was happy to see us as she emerged from the clay.

Dennis Hwang, the keynote speaker of Google Doodles fame, made all art teachers proud. He made as all feel, "Yes, we can help the next successful artist".
