The closing of a ceramic dynasty

I got word last week that the Ceramics programme at Central Tech High School in Toronto is closing after over a 50+ year history as one of the leading spawning grounds for potters in this province. We can all thank Dug Ford for the abolition of art, music and libraries in this province. He is our wannabe Donald Trump who is the Conservative leader of our province.
Central Tech had teaching by Robin Hopper, Judi Dyelle, Roger Kerslake and countless other big names. Students include Tim de Rose, Kayo O Young and a long list of gooduns.
It's easy to sit here and say so what can I do? Well, you can protest. I don't normally use my blog as a political statement but this dude has put drinking cheap beer ahead of most of what I believe in- art, music, and books. Trouble is the numb skulls that drink cheap beer don't  go to libraries and art galleries.
They do go to music concerts but I doubt it is anywhere where words are part of the program.
Maybe that's not fair. I'm pissed and I'm taking shots.
I am sporting this badge in a very Conservative town. Maybe one person will change- dunno!!
Who needs libraries, anyway?

Stop Ford

Fickle finger of fate

What's with the Ministry of Colleges and Universities, the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Skills Development and the Ministry of Education and Training. These government agencies couldn't find any money to fund the 3 year post secondary education program at Central Tech to make sure that students over the age of 21 got a relevant education in art and design so that could start new careers. What a waste of an amazing facility and art program at Central Tech in Toronto.

Don't shed a tear for the Art Centre at Central Tech, a decision was made a long time ago to discourage students from studying art here, in the end the famous art building was like a ghost town, as admin and teachers made the place unwelcoming to art students to want to study art there. Only those who were in the secret meetings about the art programs future really know the reason.

All the secrecy and back room dealing about the demise of art education at Central Tech, who is going to investigate and provide transparency to decisions made by the TDSB and Central Tech School Administration. These decisions are rife with racism and age discrimination, and in the age of Black Lives Matter and in an age of equity for all, why were the art students at Central Tech treated so badly by School Board Trustees and School Admin and some Teachers.

You know the saying, "Those who can’t do, teach"? Well, that case is made in art school. A good majority of the teachers are failed or struggling artists looking for a little stability in their lives. These people have the power to either really help you out and guide you towards a good career, or set you up for failure. Some teachers are cutting out the competition one classroom at a time. Welcome to the shark tank, baby.

And that's why the Art Centre at Central Tech is such a great success.

A study by the College Board showed that students who took four years of art scored 91 points better on the SAT exams. At-risk students who take art are significantly more likely to stay in school and ultimately to get college degrees.

Interesting how a downtown inner city school gets its art program gutted, and it's interesting how the Toronto District School Board plotted and schemed behind closed doors to accomplish this. I guess inner city kids don't deserve a good art education or the chance to continue on to college and university. Can't you just smell the discrimination that went along with these decisions.

The Art Department of Central Technical School has a long and historic record of great art education, over 100 years in fact. But unfortunately it lived long past its best sell by date, and has gone from a first-rate art department to a third-world rated art department.

Thank you for a great article about the once amazing ceramics education offered at Central Technical School in Toronto, and the amazing and renowned teachers who once taught there.
The Ceramic Dynasty ended at Central Tech some years ago when they started employing teachers with general art education from universities. These teachers knew little or nothing about ceramics, which led to a dramatic decline in the quality of education offered at Central Tech.
With the loss of the full-time ceramics technician, and the worst ceramics teacher ever, this program in now dead.

Definitely the end of an era, from the golden age of art education, a time of renaissance to the dark ages of the present, current art education is a slim shadow of what it used to be, the quality is definitely dumbed down and sub-standard. Too bad as the historic art program at Central Technical School has finally been killed off by the Toronto District School Board.

Engaging with art is essential to the human experience. Almost as soon as motor skills are developed, children communicate through artistic expression. The arts challenge us with different points of view, compel us to empathize with “others,” and give us the opportunity to reflect on the human condition. Empirical evidence supports these claims: Among adults, arts participation is related to behaviors that contribute to the health of civil society, such as increased civic engagement, greater social tolerance, and reductions in other-regarding behavior. Yet, while we recognize art’s transformative impacts, its place in K-12 education has become increasingly tenuous

Traits of Bad Art Teachers

The Inactive Teacher

All art teachers have moments when they may need to be sat at a desk but I do believe that the best teachers and tutors are active and move around the room.

I know that as a tutor I love to see learners’ work developing and can sense when some learners may be hitting a tricky point and need some feedback.

A good teacher will be aware of what learners are doing and will intervene if needed. Many learners won’t ask for help or advice by approaching a tutor. There are mixed views on this topic but my belief is that that classroom is not the place for me to be doing my own artwork. If a teacher is busy doing their own art they can’t be doing the full role as a teacher or tutor in my view.

Note: to my favorite ceramics teacher at Central Tech

Perhaps the greatest irony of recent public policy in Canada, and in all other advanced western countries, is that we spend more and more on education and yet have less and less well-educated graduates at almost every level. It is clear from the irresponsible behaviour of our teachers’ unions, repeatedly blackmailing parents with strike-threats, that they have little interest in the welfare of their students. They are effectively running daycare centres with a sprinkling of rudimentary academic instruction.

Where the schools are in the hands of the robotic left and focused largely on the study of irrelevant disciplines, we are certain to get, as we have, steadily less responsible and reliable media. As objective tests of our secondary school graduates reveal steadily lower standards of achievement, public opinion polling also indicates that a steadily smaller percentage of the public trusts the media.

We need visual art education now more than ever, says MoMA exec

Why is it that for decades, education policy makers have relegated art education to the margins, an afterschool "special" activity or out of the picture completely in public school education for generations of citizens?

The idea that visual art is a language that relies on the powers of observation, as powerful and nuanced as poetry and literature and as essential as science, has been lost on all but a few.

An urban person with an intense love of nature: this seeming contradiction is at the core of Margaret Glew’s work. In her paintings, the urban grid strives, but fails, to contain the fierce energy of organic forms. This tension between the urban and the natural, between the manmade and the organic, between calm contemplation and furious gesture, between the rational and the intuitive, is the driving force behind her work.

first at Camberwell School of Art in London, and later at Central Tech in Toronto, formed the basis of her art education.

A true love of colour and the exciting, dynamic interaction of colour with shapes –these are the wellsprings of creation for Joel Masewich. Exploration of this interplay in large format abstract canvasses has brought him artistic success.

Joel began as a high-realist wildlife artist, when he entered Central Technical School in Toronto on the advice of a guidance counsellor. “Suddenly,” he says, “all my horizons expanded.” Students were drawn from every borough of the city, and Joel met types of people he had not known at school in Etobicoke. They shared his goals. He studied under outstanding teachers like Alex Turner who taught the science of colour. Joel gives credit to Central Tech. for the freedom allowed students to explore their own directions

Joyce Wieland (1930–1998) began her career as a painter in Toronto before moving to New York in 1962, where she soon achieved renown as an experimental filmmaker. The 1960s and 1970s were productive years for Wieland, as she explored various materials and media and as her art became assertively political, engaging with nationalism, feminism, and ecology. She returned to Toronto in 1971. In 1987 the Art Gallery of Ontario held a retrospective of her work.

Wieland attended Central Technical School in Toronto, where she initially registered in a fashion design course. At this high school she learned the skills that later enabled her to work in the field of commercial design. It was also at Central Tech that she first came into contact with sculptors and painters, such as Doris McCarthy (1910–2010), with whom she studied. McCarthy, who was committed to her art and had an independent spirit and sense of style, became an important role model for Wieland.
