News in the Arts - March

Artist Profile: Janeece Henes
As part of our annual celebration of Youth Art Month, Jillian Asplund sat down with art educator, Janeece Henes, to discuss her perspective on art in education. Henes, a recent nominee for a Viola Award for Arts Educator, is a high school teacher at the Flagstaff Arts and Leadership Academy. Here's an excerpt from the article:
JA: What are your earliest memories of making art?
JH: Kindergarten. Remember those hand plaster pieces? Or the hand-drawn plates? My mother was very crafty, she sewed our clothes, costumes etc...I would have to say that going to an all girls catholic high school in Philadelphia, the art classroom was my sanctuary. If I didn't have the art room to express myself I would have gone mad. Read more.
