Be inspired by the beauty of the City of Pittsburgh and the energy of its visual arts culture. The Pennsylvania Art Education Association is hosting its annual conference in the city to connect members with the visual arts in museums, art centers, galleries, public places and with arts advocates. ART IT UP as you are immersed in this rich environment. From the time of the industrial revolution, the visual arts were valued as Andrew Carnegie dedicated a museum of modern art to invest for the old masters of tomorrow as he hosted the International Art Exhibition to gain acquisitions for the collection. This foresight to ART IT UP has built a reputation that has brought notoriety to the city and empowered a community that is welcoming to new ideas and creative innovations that continue today! The PAEA Conference 2017 in Pittsburgh will be the largest gathering space for art educators in the state and is designed exclusively with you in mind. Experience the thriving visual arts scene with Pittsburgh artists, professional sessions, hands–on workshops, outreach tours and stimulating socials. Present your work to our community of art educators and connect with peers to gain new inspiration and knowledge. As we grow over the three days, our reach and voice will be strengthened to advocate for and respond to change in art education. Be empowered after your return from the creative colleagues around the state. Invest in your future at this conference in Pittsburgh. Let’s ART IT UP! Lynda Abraham–Braff, Cynthia Blackwell & Kymberly Cruz 2017 Conference Co–Chairs About the Logo . Our conference logo grew out of a desire to remind art teachers that art is the joy in life and we are blessed to Art It Up each day. We also wanted to connect our logo to the urban art of this great city. We hope you will enjoy reading about our ideas for the logo design. • The colors incorporate the Pantone Color of the Year: Greenery along with a hot color palette recommended by Pantone to Graphic Designers. This brings a contemporary design influence to the conference. • The color palette incorporates greens and blues reminding us of clean energy, landscapes, and conservation. It also incorporates shades of blue and gray—urban colors reminiscent of the city. • The fonts are sans serif, simple and clean. Clean and simple fonts are utilized in many recently redesigned logos. Utilizing current graphic design trends will preserve this moment in time when looking back at our conference designs in future years. • The R in ART drops down to touch the U in UP, bringing connection between words and flow to the design. The arrow in the U points up and gives additional meaning to the conference theme Art It Up. • The squares with horizontal lines flowing through them gives the logo structure and repeats the overall block shape of the logo. The white lines create a sense of elegance, and can suggest water or architectural structure . depending upon how your eye/mind perceives them. • Gestalt principles are rules of organization often used in logo design because they help the viewer perceive or grasp complex ideas in an organized way. These principles are visually pleasing because they bring order to complex ideas. Repeating shapes and using shapes that make close connections, like the squares with lines, utilizes the Gestalt Principle of Similarity and Proximity. The relationship between the R & U utilizes the Gestalt Principle of Continuation. Annual PAEA Conference Student Art Exhibition . We wish to thank all the teachers that encouraged their students to participate in the real time exhibit of work that can be found in Grand Station I. This is the same area where the keynote speakers will be each day, so you can’t miss it. We love digital exhibits, but there is still nothing like seeing the real thing. Take a few moments to enjoy the work of our talented students from across the state. Art Museum Opportunities .
