Engaged Through Our Senses
Art education encourages observation, tactile engagement with materials and problem
solving, qualities that make us more responsive and active members of our environment.
In a culture dominated by passive forms of entertainment and information, distributed
by screen display, we need to encourage young people to participate in the natural world
the way artist have for ages—by ‘getting outside’, looking slowly and carefully, touching,
smelling and analyzing the surfaces in front of us. Instruction in the visual arts can
encourage our students to become more responsive and responsible citizens in a culture
that is destroying natural resources at an unsustainable rate.

2014 Art Educator of the Year
Dr. Ruth Starratt
Boston University, Boston
At the end of the exciting 1960’s Ruth began her career as an art educator in Wilton, Connecticut.
She would spend the next thirty years, in that bedroom town to New York City, teaching art to over
10,000 Wilton students. In 1997, after her husband Jerry had accepted a position at Boston College,
Ruth decided to see what Boston academic life was like and joined the art education faculty at
Boston University’s College of Fine Arts. She was now able to work with amazing graduate
women and men who were in training to become art educators in their own right. She was then,
and continues to be, lifted up by their dedication and excitement as they prepare for the profession
of an art educator. Boston University’s graduation day in May is always bitter-sweet for Ruth as
she sends the Masters of Art in Studio Teaching grads off to their new jobs, with hugs and a few
tears, yet at the same time awaits the new cohort and starting the preparation process all over.
21
At Boston University Ruth has been able to help
each graduate candidate write their curriculum
document, the equivalent of an MA thesis, that
covers three years of art education lesson plans at
three levels. Many district superintendents have told
Ruth that this document, along with the
professional teaching portfolio her students also
prepare, nails their job. A vocal advocate for art
education for special needs students, Ruth teaches
the graduate course “Teaching Art to Special
Populations” and continually seeks to have her
student teachers integrate real world experiences
into the planning process for their art lessons. Art,
for all students, may be the only haven from
excessive academic rigor, and with certain students
creating art may be the only way to experience
success and reflect and acknowledge the inner self.
Ruth firmly believes that these art classroom
experiences are fundamental to providing a way to
begin a lifelong interest in the arts.
In addition to her teaching and mentoring at Boston
University Ruth works closely with artists and
educators across the world. She travels extensively
and lectures in many international venues as well as
throughout the United States.
Ruth is an art educator that continues to be Artist/
Teacher, Teacher/Artist. Her creative work in
painting, botanical art and art quilts have been
shown both nationally and internationally. She
currently has a juried piece in a national exhibition
that will travel through multiple venues until 2015.
Ruth continues her research in pre-history art that
began when she was a doctoral student at Columbia
University. These journeys take her across the world,
yet, always returning to the first peoples of Australia
and North America. Educators and Aboriginal elders
have opened many doors normally closed to a white
woman, not to mention an American. This past
summer found Ruth in South Africa, Zambia and
Botswana, a life-changing journey for her, and next
summer she will return to Japan where many years
ago her doctoral dissertation research was based.
Ruth is often asked share these experiences in her
student teachers classrooms so that their students
can get a sense of connection to a lesson being
addressed.
22
Ruth’s art education experiences are not limited to
the classrooms of Boston University: she is an active
member of the National Art Education Association’s
delegates assembly, an elected position she has
served on for sixteen years; she is a board member of
the New England Society of Botanical Artists and
serves on the Education Forum for the American
Society of Botanical Artists. Ruth holds a certificate
of distinction in Botanical Art from the Society of
Botanical Art in England. She also serves as a docent
for the Friends of Horticulture at Wellesley College
and has had her artwork exhibited in their gallery
on multiple occasions. Ruth has been blessed with
an art educator’s life that is both amazing and
enormously fulfilling.

Assabet Valley Regional Technical High School,
Marlborough

Plain & Mattahunt School, Mattapan
David Stockbridge came to art education through a
non-traditional path. He walked through a door that
opened one year after obtaining an undergraduate
degree in Fine Arts from Massachusetts College of
Art, with a major in Painting, twenty years after he
began. In the interim, he had been a painting and wall
covering contractor and had continued to chip away
at the undergraduate degree through continuing
education classes. It was a personal accomplishment to
have succeeded. He found a common denominator in
the skills that he had developed in the painting trade
and those he developed in an academic environment.
Ultimately, David found a teaching opportunity in the
Painting and Design program at Assabet Technical High
School in Marlborough. Here added faux finishing,
mural work, and sign painting to the fundamental
skills that are representative of the craft to the existing
curriculum. He developed an after school art club
that proved to be very successful and after nine years
of advocating, David was asked to develop a program
proposal that would address the benefits, needs, costs,
and space requirements of adding an art elective. An
art elective was now established after nine years of
advocacy. David has continued to advocate for students
in many ways, offering varied electives, initiating halfyear courses, honors courses, and collaboration with
vocational programs. He is very proud of his vocational
students who continue to prove that the combination
of trade skill and academic excellence is the right
combination for their education. Now in his tenth
year as an art educator, he is c currently proposing an
expansion of the art program intending to keep moving
forward and advocating for the expansion of art in the
general curriculum.
Laura Evonne Steinman (Ms. Evonne), believes that
our lives are nurtured and transformed by creating art
together. Ms. Evonne is the Visual Arts teacher at the
Mattahunt School in Mattapan, MA through the Eliot
School of Fine and Applied Arts in JP, MA where she
facilitates artistic creating with students that are in the
special needs classes. Laura Evonne Steinman received
her BFA in Sculpture from the Rhode Island School of
Design and her Master of Art in Art Education with a
Concentration in Community Arts from The School
of the Art Institute of Chicago. Laura has always been
drawn to working with those who are “outside the
box” because she herself has never fit into any either,
and doesn’t quite understand why anyone would
want to be in one anyway! Laura Evonne is also is
the Director of Religious Education for Children and
Families & Artist in Residence at Arlington Street
Church, a Unitarian Universalist Congregation in
Boston. Additionally, she is involved with community
art projects with local farms. She sews many “Colorful
Matters” using recycled remnants, volunteers with her
therapeutic cat, Krowka, and dog, Jenna Belle; cooks a
bunch of vegetarian food; travels on I-90 at least once a
month doing something creative! Laura has facilitated
creative projects across the USA, Europe, Asia, and the
Caribbean. She soaks up the sunshine, and dances in
the rain of life as it flows with ALL of our special needs.

State Transportation Building in Boston during
the month of March.
