Planning is already well underway for this summer’s travel course to Ecuador July 1-16. Last year’s trip was a wonderful experience for all participants. Dan Serig and Juan Ormaza, a MassArt professor and Ecuadoran, will be co-leaders again this year.
The itinerary will be somewhat different. In addition to Quito and the Cloud Forest in the Andes, the group will explore the very different coastal culture and stay at a national park on the beach. The experience of working with children was a highlight of the first trip, and there are plans to increase these opportunities and increase the depth of these experiences.
Please contact Dan Serig with questions about the trip: dan.serig@massart.edu or 617-879-7549.
Lois Hetland was featured on National Public Radio on Thursday, November 6 on "Around Noon," a show by Dee Perry out of Ohio. The special call-in show on arts education also included Annie McNally-Dienes from Young Audiences of Northeast Ohio and award-winning Berea High School art teacher, Jim Bycznski.

An update from Courtney McKenna, the Art Education SGA rep:
1) The Art Education Department now has a membership in EXCL, Extras for Creative Learning, which is a clearing house for recycled materials. Business and industry donate excess materials, which are then redistributed to teachers and students for creative educational use.
A membership includes a specified number of visits per year to choose and take materials. Saturday Studios, Seminar 1 and 2, and Art and Human Development will be allotted some of these visits, which will leave about 11 or 12 visits for Portfolio students. Contact Courtney
