Andrea Zakin Receives Recognition Award
On October 22nd, at the 31st Annual Citywide Art Education Conference, the New York City Art Teachers Association presented its 2011 Recognition Award in the area of Higher Education to Dr. Andrea Zakin, Associate Professor in the department of Early Childhood and Childhood Education here at Lehman. Dr. Zakin was honored for her work in training and cultivating a generation (so far!) of students for their NY State Certification to teach Art from K to 12. At the heart of Dr. Zakin’s work with students is her research on cognitive decision-making in art instruction and production, on the interconnections between art and language, and on aesthetic education. Dr. Zakin’s own art work explores the fairy tales and age old myths among which we live, and the psychology that informs them.
The Recognition Award was the second honor Dr. Zakin received this year: the first was at the NYCATA celebration at the Museum of Modern Art, on June 10th, where Dr. Zakin and other awardees presented during the session on Outstanding Educators’ Best Practices.
