Um, Mr. Hers exactly as well. So, again, welcome everyone.
004Is there a mic if needed for this space this evening or can be heard? Okay, Dr. Mars, I just want to make sure for >> It can be there. >> Okay, wonderful. So, Ben Hoffman, high school art teacher. I want to welcome I'll let them introduce themselves. >> Sarah Fidler, I'm the elementary art teacher. >> Amanda Ser, middle school art teacher. >> So, this evening we showcase our traveling art show. We'll talk about that in a moment. We have a lot of friends who couldn't be here tonight through work, activities, sports, and it's the first night of autumn, so we're enjoying it elsewhere. Um, but if we would, we have a presentation this evening that we'd like to walk through and share a few highlights and then we're going to talk about some beautiful work
005and maybe ask for a recess to give all the board members an opportunity to look at the art a little bit closer. So without further ado, Dr. Myers, go to the next slide. So just as a starting point, if you did not know, last week was or today ends the conclusion of the arts in education week. So it's a national celebration hosted by the Americans for the arts and what better way than to highlight some of our students and some of our faculty. So, if you see in the top right corner, Miss Santa wants to show they're doing some cool stuff at the middle school. >> Uh, yeah, we're doing some paper marbling in eighth grade. So, all the eighth graders marble a front and a back of their sketchbook that they're about to build
006and open it up to staff in the building to come down and marble their own papers. Uh, Dr. Myers did two sets on his own and so did Mr. Lynch. So, that was kind of nice to come in during the class. Um, my little friends. Uh, yeah, we started our monochromatic self-portrait series, which is K through five. Each grade level is designated a color. They're also designated that color in my classroom. So, kindergarten is red all the way to purple and fifth grade. And they have to use all the tints and shades of that color to create a self-portrait. And we are finishing up third, fourth, and fifth this week. Last week, we finished K through two. So, they look really good. or anything else. So, >> and as a culmination, I always had the
007pleasure of working with the students after they've gone K through eight and then up to the high school as an elective and choosing to do various studios. So, having students throwing on the wheel for the first time last week, our art club and I always say we have some beautiful sky appreciation moments getting the students out working with photography, doing both manual and aperture sightings. So, it's been a lot of fun. Um, but Dr. M, we go ahead and click to our next uh a really greatation. hasn't just been fully public released. I just got notification last evening that our high school or school district will be recognized for the seventh consecutive year for the outstanding visual arts community. So, I'm really excited to be able to share that and that's been a recognition from
008the Pennsylvania Art Education Association now for seven years. Last year, we were recognized by Dr. Carrie Row, the current acting secretary of education. And it's a really incredible accomplishment and there's a whole press package that I hear is coming in the next few days. So really proud to be able to share that again tonight as part of this celebration. So what brings us here tonight to talk a little about the traveling art show. It's been an exhibition probably almost on its 40th year now in the district and graciously through the support of an administration and through the visual arts department. This exhibition basically celebrates our K through2 achievements visually and the pieces that are behind us were selected from the tail end of last school year and over the course of the next 12 months
009they're going to travel throughout all the local businesses, commerce and our local shops and you know what celebrates Kutztown. So you'll see them at various banks and pizza places on your way to town. And it's a a testament to the achievements of our students. It's something that we're going to start to grow over into the next year is creating a permanent collection in the community because after that one-year rotation, they then end up here and you've perhaps seen them in different spaces throughout the buildings. But we're finding a way to continue that relationship with those community partners and have them on display year round if not longer. So, more to come, but we're really gracious and I want to make sure while she's not here this evening, Chris Turk facilitates um she was the past
010middle school art teacher among many other titles and she facilitates the transportation and those spaces with the different vendors. So, I want to make sure she gets praised for all the work and framing. Yeah. Oh my goodness, she is a These are gorgeously framed. She has the time now and she's really enjoying the retirement being able to spend the time and focus on what she loves most besides being a student. make sure we celebrate that. So, without further ado, we're just going to go through each of the artworks. Of course, behind we have them. If we have one friend with us tonight, some of our other friends are elsewhere, but we have a certificate and for all of our school board members and our principal administration and our students, we have a calendar as a
011keepsake of all of the student work from this year. Um, so we're excited to present our certificates and calendars to all of our friends and let our researchers talk about some of the cool stuff we've done. Okay. So, um my first two pieces are by painting quails and um Quinn Moyer. These were done in third grade, which I think is absolutely mind-blowing. It's an optical illusion where they had to utilize lines to be able to manipulate the space to make it look like it's protruding from the surface. Um and they also had to focus on shadows to be able to push that even further. They had the they had the option to add color or to leave it in black and white which you can see here with the two different variations of the project.
012This was measuring. There was lots of math involved in this assignment. It was a labor of love. It took a long time but they did outrageously like it's just did so good. So that are my those are my first two over here. This by Riley Kramer. This is another optical illusion and the the same concept is to push the idea that it's coming off of the page. And Riley did a fantastic job with her shadows. That's what's making it look like it is actually standing off the page. And again, they had um options to add color to the background or however they wanted to utilize color in the hand or the background. um she decided to stick with a monochromatic color scheme which I think was super successful in um finishing. And these two are
013by Dray Cracker and Samar. And these are um observation drawings of or paintings of local ornamental corn that was sourced from my brother-in-law's farm in O PA. and he helped me go out and handpicked them all and then I brought them into school and we did all kinds of drills on observation. So they started which I got this idea from Mrs. Orange. Um but we would do like a one minute drawing then a three minute and a five minute to build up their skill and then once they drew their actual observation of the core they went in with different watercolor techniques and layering to create these absolutely beautiful pieces. And this is Willow Schlaggel's uh geometric crystal. So we learned all about how crystals and gemstones are made and the science behind how they are
014created um through heat and pressure. And then we learned about lines and angles and all the different types of obtuse acute right angle and also parallel and per perpendicular lines and intersecting lines and they were challenged to use those to create their own crystal geode shape. Um, and then once they completed all of that amazing line work, focusing on different angles, they then went in with this is actually a washable marker that they um hydrate water and it spreads and makes this amazing watercolor technique. Um, Willow did a fantastic job focusing on the warm colors and it is it really stands out and I think just want to highlight Chris with her white border here which is prime time. So it was really nice. They did a really good job. So those are all my
015students. >> Uh this is an eighth well when I had him in eighth grade instructor is now school. But last year all three grade levels did a testation project because we went to the Reading Public Museum when MC Ashure um artwork was on display. So it was like a whole building field trip. Um and understand what tessellations were, which is a lot of math and a lot of repetition. Um, students created their own teslation, starting out with a 3x3 cube uh 3x3 square, having to cut it a certain way, trace it multiple times, rotate it, and then turn it into an object. So, this was piece of cute fox head in repetition here. Um, in eighth grade, they also start to learn about perspective. So, learning how to create dimension and depth on a flat
016piece of paper. So, uh Chase Gallagher in our AP class, we do a onepoint perspective into your space. So, they have to create a room and they can decorate that room however they want. Um he chose to make it look like an actual living room um and kept it in all pencil which again was totally a creative choice for him. But the actual perspective portion of it is a lot of angles and math and ruler work. So really great job on that and a lot of good pencil lines. And then uh down here, so this is sort of the groupings. So we have Arabella King, Lilith, Roberts, Nirvana, Worst, and Eloise um with their pumpkins. So drawing from observation is a really key skill. If any student wants to just get better at drawing, you
017have to be able to draw what you see. So, we do start, as Mrs. Spidler mentioned, we start with a times drawing where they have an actual pumpkin that is sitting in front of them. Typically, most kids when they draw a pumpkin, it's a perfect circle with a stem. Most pumpkins are not perfect circles. Um, so we start with some time drawings to really kind of understand the concept too that good art is not done in five minutes, especially if it's drawing based. So we start with 5, 10, 15, 20, talk about shading, and then we dive into charcoal, which is their first time experiencing that material because I know you don't teach that in elementary school. Um, so this is their chance to now experiment with a new medium and new material. So that
018is kind of the four that were sort of the best of the best last year. You want to talk about No. So, and kind of like interesting interpretations of their different pumpkins, too. And each table's pumpkin is also different from each other. So, some had curly stems, uh, deformed pumpkins, that kind of stuff. And I think there Yep. And then this is Emily Bernett. She um really rocked it on our watercolor spectrum. So they have to come up with a drawing that takes across the whole page um and kind of fill the space. But we will then use the primaries, secondaries, and tertiary colors. So being able to mix all of them. They're only given three colors for this. So they have to mix all of their colors in between. They're only given the red,
019yellow, and blue. And everything they have to do on their own. Then what I have to celebrate and just so you know up to this point we've celebrated GBS KES and the middle schools. So all of our grades and students represented uh the first piece here was done by Alyssa Dos. She actually graduated this past year. So she's awesome. Um what's really amazing so this is one of her pieces and what's nice is this is a print. So we'll talk about print making at the end of tonight's exhib exhibition. But uh if you get the chance to see this up close this is the lenolium reduction print. So, if you think about how fortunate we go to the printer, we press print and it comes out in all the colors that we want. Um, what
020you'll see here is about six different colors that were perfectly registered directly over top of one another and carve away each individual layer. So, all said and done, I believe Alyssa had close to 30 editions of this particular print with different variations and colors and various mark making techniques. Um, so it's a really impressive piece when you start to get up close and go, "Wow, like that was done." And also we'll come back to it but like that K over there is not backwards un you know it's purposely backwards. So all the text you will see letters are in here written that she purposely had to cut backwards as well. So there's that reverse process uh with this journey as well. So want to congratulate Alyssa. The next piece we have Carter Deal just beside
021me. This is a really beautiful piece uh at the high school students start to explore a little bit more thematic and make some personal choices about things that are relevant to them. So we opened up to themes, right? You heard Miss S or Miss Philliques that let them get to that high school and just kind of broaden their perspective. So this theme was merely um reflection and this is what Carter pulled from that. So they had any option of way in which they could capture reflection. So you see this looking into the car mirror, looking back and it's a really beautiful, you know, story of seeing this kind of inward outward look and then also seeing the environment around it. And this is all done with these beautiful alcohol markers. So incredible feed. graduation. >>
022This is a fun one. Jeremy is beautiful photograph of another student, um, Julian. And our students are hysterical. The moment you put a camera on them, either they're going to make the most ridiculous face or they turn away and run. And um, Julie and Jeremy had this really fun relationship in photography. They were just doing some incredible photo shoots and they were doing a series of cover photo shoots. And I had given them model poses that we've seen in the internet or things that just in popular culture and I said to replicate them and we had some really unique poses. So you can imagine like where did they find this plant? They were like kneeling down in the lobby. They were finding plants zooming in and there's about 15 other photographs before this photo that
023really gets to this you know beautiful assets. And that's kind of the capturing moment I tell my students every day like I think the statistic last time I checked there's more photographs taken in six months than there are stars in the Milky Way galaxy. And I think that's even dated to this moment, right? So like we take so many photographs, but to really capture the essence of something that they're trying to see is so powerful. So congratulations to Jeremy, this beautiful photograph that will be in the collection. Um, and then the last piece here this evening coming back to print making very similar style on that lenolium reduction, not necessarily with as many layers as Alyssa's, but this was a thematic thinking about series developing a card set. So this was done by Clara Schnure.
024He's our current junior and president of our National Honor Society. And you can get a kind of a sense of the Pennsylvania German Dutch heritage coming through very cultural um traditions and again done with five different prints. And then their challenge was to make a series of these. So they could go essentially to a sale, a card sale or craft show. Um so she also had about five additions of every one that you see here. So a really incredible feat in itself. You can imagine the time that it takes to achieve that. So that's all of our artists, but I want to end with just uh just a couple takeaways. In fact, we have two more slides we have. We're uh trying to become Insta famous, but we do celebrate all the work of our
025students. Really, our Instagrams here are for all of our kiddos and following all the procedures of that, but we really love to showcase the work that you're doing. So, we always like to tell them friends and family online, there's awesome stuff happening in the classroom. We want to share that out as often as frequently as possible. So, these are directly for each of our respective classrooms and they're on the back of your calendar so you don't have to worry about that. Um, but we're excited and these are also available on the district site. And then the last thing I thought it'd be helpful just to share two things before we, you know, invite you to see the work a little bit closer with Mr. Tim Chatton and the Encore department. This year is going to
026be a little different. Come spring in the best way possible. We're having a Kutztown showcase and it really came out of a mind where we're seeing beautiful work and we want to celebrate the community even bigger. Um so the KZtown showcase is a means to bringing just secondary and elementary voices together. So historically if you've seen the we had the middle school art show tied with the steam fair and then there was the spring concert tied with the art show. Well, now we've just said we're putting it all together and uh over the course of a week just to give you a snapshot of Mortal Komb, but Tuesday evening it's so it's a showcase week. Tuesday will be band night where 6 through 12 will come together all of the ensembles ending with a combined
027finale. On Wednesday night will be the art and a night. So that'll be the celebration and the start of the plant sale. We're going to have food trucks. We're going to have music. We're going to invite some community vendors in this space. And it's the 6th through 12 art show as well all in the high school. So you're going to see the space become very full. And then on Thursday it will uh culminate with the choir night. Very similar 6 through 12 all the ensembles coming together followed by a combined finale. So this really beautiful showcase week followed by Friday night. Our seniors and juniors are excited. I believe it's prom. Um and then the following week takes off with Miss Viller and this year's art show. It's happening at GES. Then we're going to
028just kind of see where this takes us off with just a bigger way to celebrate the arts in our community and all of the visual performing arts that matter. So we're excited to share that. And then the final one, I think the one that's been like we've been excited for like a long time. Last slide, Dr. Myers, is our steamroller print festival. I remember standing before all of you two years ago when I asked to start a print making class and now two years later, this is a K12 event that we're about to launch on April 17th. So, uh, starting next week, we're going to have a t-shirt contest. We're having a massive steamroller show up to the school and working with Mr. Lovestein. We're going to have massive prints. And that K is one
029of the first of six prints that are going to be here that day where we're having events all day, screen printing, button making. What's fifth grade is coming over? >> Fifth grade, we're doing jelly prints. Um, then that they'll print over top of at the actual event. middle schools rock and we'll >> have our own 3 foot by three foot print as well. >> Yeah. And we're bringing in a local artist, local print maker and tattoo artist Victoria Beck. She's an alumnest of Ktown University and she's excited to work with us. So, it's a really big vibrant event that we're excited to engage community with our students and all of our artists. >> Word. >> Yeah. I'm not making my pitch for donation, but if you're interested, there is a paper on your way out.
030Um, we're really excited. We're we're really, really, really excited for that. So, the last slide is just again a thank you to the school board, to the administration, to our community, our student artists, faculty, colleagues, all the above. Um, just allowing us to make this happen to give the students gift every year to do this. So, >> my Instagram is on the low right now. I'm sorry. I will go more. It's just been a slow go. So, if you check out my Instagram, it's coming for this year. >> Yeah. >> Um, can I ask like what what do you do with the steamroller? Like do you roll like on the >> Yeah. Zoom in like what? Like specifically? >> Yeah. >> So, uh, essentially the prints that you see here were all done from the
031classroom where we have small, um, just like etching presses. It just looks like a roller with a wheel. Um, this is a friend of mine in Texas at her school who has done this and she's been kind of a guiding person in the background. But these are their prints. So you're that letter K will be printed uh using I believe it's a 28 inch barrels, you know, drum working with some people and they'll roll over. So we're basically making a press outside. Um, so it's been pretty epic. So we have Victoria Beck, like I said, making one, the high school's making three, middle school's making two, and we're getting there. And you can see the start of the carving of the K. So that's gonna be our our fun introduction to this. But and >>
032and it rolls over like actual like paper. Okay. >> So the the K will be finished carved. Then where you see the black on that right now >> the ink like people will be rolling ink onto it and then that'll be set on the ground. The paper will go on top. something I think two massive uh yeah we have moving blankets that kind of act as like these cushions or we use felt in the classroom and then there's a inch thick 4x8 sheets of plywood that serve as the base and the top between each one of the transfers >> and then the steam roller rolls right on top of it >> and like presses the paper onto >> so our goal is 36 prints for the day. So we we for year one but it's
033going to be epic and we've worked out rain delays. It's going to be a blast. We're gonna be doing it by the alumni garden in the fieldhouse and it's gonna be really really exciting event. So >> I guess rain delay doesn't mean you're going to do it like on the basketball court or anything. >> No, we're gonna do it in the field house. Actually, we did get we're good on the way. >> So >> that's awesome. Thank you for sharing. >> Yeah. So I want to make sure we give space to the artists who are here and not here and give Eloise a chance to show off our work for those who would like. And just a little plug, our National Honor Society is having an induction in a few weeks. There's all our cool
034social media Instagram handles and uh we're just super proud to celebrate the arts here and be a capitalist version by 10 minutes to check it out. That's Right. Okay, we can go into the board of committee reports. Uh, starting with BCTC. >> Um, nothing of interest really. The briefs are in there. >> Okay. >> But nothing too exciting. Sorry. >> Very good. Thank you. We can all review at our leisure. Mr. Whismer of the BCIU. >> Thank you. There's I probably overshared this time because there's all the attachments that I typically would get. There is a a summary in there. There is no actual, you know, highlights beyond the highlight that was provided there with the exception of they did put out the new legislative fast facts which has all the representatives and their contact
035information which is just nice little one to stop reference point. Other than that, that's it. >> Okay. Thank you. Uh Mrs. Steman, Burks Tax Collection Committee. >> Okay. Thank you. Uh Mr. Light, Extracurricular Facilities Committee. >> Yeah, we uh were given an activity fee update. Um it's been pretty successful so far and a large amount of the parents uh use the online version to to pay that. So that's good to hear. few tweaks here and there, but um you're given a sample of banner marketing campaign from a school district in Lancaster that Mr. Yapsu was associated with before. Um that's still in discussion. Looking for more information on that yet. And then uh Richard gave us a major mechanicals review uh just some information which I forwarded to the rest of the board as well
036too um for you to look at. That's uh there's some future replacements associated with that. Um fuel station we are looking at getting a 1000gallon uh tank or gasoline storage on the site here instead of running up to Ruters or Turkey Hill or wherever. And also I guess BCIU in the future could possibly be using it to fuel their buses as well too. Um waiting feedback from the insurance company I think somebody else. Yeah. >> Um yeah I had gotten information back from the insurance company today and um I spoke to Mr. Sign about it. Um seems that our vendor is uh the insurance company said make sure that we just had a vendor that was familiar with all the laws and so >> so we did vote that out to the full board which
037would probably be in October probably October because it's yeah there was too much information to gather for Yeah. this meeting. So yeah, so and then uh just I guess just to say that it's what we projected over the course of five to six years we can save the cost of the fuel station just through the construction pricing that we can benefit from from having the thousand gallons on site. Um, you know, in addition to all the time that we'd be saving immediately on having filling up the runners, >> plus also the time for recitement office not to have to go through all the uh fuel tax. >> So, it it'd be net no cost over time, but saving >> staff time immediately. >> The cost right now from BCU is a $182 per gallon, >>
038right? So, and then uh we were given the update on the middle school HVAC systems. Uh I guess did they set the final one on Friday? They did not. No, that was delayed. Um so, we are still waiting for the the middle school band was uh on back order. So, um we do have it now, but they I don't know if they established they for some reason they couldn't do it on Friday, so they maybe this Friday they try again. >> Okay. And then uh just some other punch list items have to be going through and that's about it. That concludes my report. >> Thank you. Next on the list is PSBA. >> Now report. >> Okay. Thank you. And then Mr. Whisperer policy and curriculum. >> Uh we have some items for policy maintenance
039that are on the agenda for tonight at the first reading and then uh we did get an update from Mr. pile with thankful was uh picking up the federal program grant update. Um I shared that out earlier. That's for titles one, two, three, and four. Um and I did pull out some of the highlights there as far as determining the eligibility um by building here in the district. And then there was one thing that came out in question and conversation and I highlighted that email to the board too which Greenwitch and Kutztown Elementary should should they combine there would be an impact there looking at the new building numbers and definitely looked like the eligibility would be at risk as far as the federal funding would be concerned in that area. So that was just
040some of the things that came up policy. >> Okay. Thank you, Mr. M. We It's not listed here, but our student representatives are here. So, do either one of you have a report to see? >> Um, yes. >> Um, so I would guess I would consider this as like an informal proposal. Um, I know uh Mrs. Angel had inquired about senior parking spots and so I was just like wanting to throw a little bit of information out there. Um, so I actually met with Mr. Hawin last week and we discussed that um, it would be reserved exclusively for seniors, hopefully for the class of 2026 this year. Um, we would probably use the back end of the parking lot near the fieldhouse just over there. Um, just to keep it all kind of uniform, but
041I just thought it'd be a really good idea to just showcase some of the creativity. I'm really glad the art department was here earlier just to showcase some of the creativity that we have here at KC. Um, I think it would just be a great opportunity. Um, so the students would definitely provide their own paint. Um, and they would have about a 20 to $25 fee to cover the cost of the black paint used to repaint their spot at the end of the year. Um, so we were hoping that would solve that issue. Um, and to hold them accountable, we would make it a graduation requirement as part of like the list of like you have to have this and this to graduate. We make it one of those. Um, sorry. And if there was
042leftover funds, because I imagine there will be because um I guess if you buy the paint in bulk, it becomes cheaper. Um, if there was um extra funds, it would be for students with financial need who uh qualify for that. And we would also maybe attempt to offer discounted rate for teachers or administrators who'd want to participate as well. I know Mr. Hoffman said he would. And um we would probably give the rest of the excess funds to class officers towards senior field trips or class events. Um so I know that would be good. Um and the students would be responsible for paying their own spots on the day and repainting them prior to graduation and they would have to submit a pre-approved sketch of their um spot before it would get approved by an
043administrator or faculty member. Um, and I know safety was a pretty primary concern with this. Um, so that's why they like must stay within their assigned spaces. They wouldn't paint outside the lines and we'd probably have like a six inch border between the white line itself and the actual um, spot allocated for cleaning. Um, so we would most likely have to do this on a Saturday just because it was introduced so late into the year, but it would be supervised by administrator or faculty member and I just thought it was overall a good idea. >> Thank you. It sounds like you've done a lot of work over the last two weeks to pull it together. >> She's excited. A lot of my friends have asked me about it and I just really would like to
044make it happen. >> So I would just say as a next step, schedule a meeting with Dr. Flicker and u Mr. lot just to to coordinate because I think those are going to be Mr. Hoffman is like that third piece. I think they're going to be your three people. They're key players in making sure um and uh you know well there's not formal board approval here or anything of that nature. I think there's general support for moving forward with with it. I just want to work with those three people so it gets done right. >> Okay. >> So much two two points of clarification or one comment and then one clarification. So I I actually would probably be more inclined for us to be providing the Pete that is used rather than letting everybody bring
045their own paint. So, it's >> Oh, yeah. Sorry, I forgot to mention that. It would definitely be uh we'd have to pre-approve the paint. Um it would be latex based basically house paint in simple things. Um >> I think we'd be purchas but again if those details I think we can >> yeah I just think it would from our facilities and other consistency. Yeah. I think the the second clarification um so with a student getting to paint um a parking spot um I guess I just want to be clear on so that would mean that if they're getting to school on time or early enough in that morning they would probably naturally want to park in that spot. But I guess obviously that's just for the school day and I mean >> yeah it's a
046I think it would be their spot for the school day. I mean there's many we're fortunate that we haven't had number spots that students had to students are most schools are assigned spot. We're fortunate we have plenty of spots that haven't been an issue but that would be their spot for the school. So I think we should just think about in a hopeful case but like that this would never happen but you know if somebody starts parking in spots you're not you know what would be the action or approach that would be taken. So but great idea I think it'll be a lot of fun and uh it would certainly make for a lot of color out there. So >> thank you. >> Anything else? >> That's it. Thank you very much. Thank you. >>
