Brandi Wayment has been awarded Hobble Creek Elementary School’s Crystal Apple Teacher for 2014-15. Brandi is in her 17th year of teaching. She taught nine years in California and eight years in 1st grade at Hobble Creek. Brandi’s passion has always been early childhood literacy and teaching mathematics. Her husband Tom says, “I think all of my siblings and Brandi’s have had the lecture that their children need to have 10,000 books read to them before they enter kindergarten.”
 Brandi is super organized and pays careful attention to details. If she says she’ll do something, then she’ll make sure it gets done and she always gives it her all. Brandi doesn’t do things half-heartedly! Brandi’s greatest sense of satisfaction comes when she sees a notable or measurable difference in one of her students. At Hobble Creek, Brandi is always willing to serve on committees and share her knowledge or resources when needed. She organized a faculty book club and keeps us learning new things! When she’s not teaching, Brandi loves to quilt, travel, read a book at the beach, do photography, and garden. She has traveled to England, Poland, Germany, Italy, and Turkey in the past few years as well as seeing most of the 50 states.
 We are glad Brandi chooses to teach at Hobble Creek and hope she’ll stay for the foreseeable future!

Select Watercolors from the Utah Watercolor Society Annual Exhibit

Now On View at Hobble Creek Elementary

 

Mapleton —― Hobble Creek Elementary presents, 2014 Utah Watercolor Society, a Utah Arts & Museums Traveling Exhibition, from January 5 through February 2 2015 at Hobble Creek Elementary  . The works in this exhibition illustrate the variety of ways that watercolors can be employed in painting.

 

The works selected for the 2014-2015 exhibition include a variety of subjects and representations, from the fresh, spontaneous, and transparent images typically associated with watercolor, to controlled images that have been created through carefully overlaid washes. To create these images, artists divorced themselves from directly recreating the objects of their gaze and instead concerned themselves with the abstract elements of a painted image: line, value, shape, rhythm and texture. Others utilized these same techniques and structural elements to construct recognizable images of Utah's landscape.

 

Utah Watercolor Society of Utah was founded in 1974 to "elevate watercolor and educate the public of the importance of watercolor as a creative, permanent art medium." The society encourages its members to develop artistically and creatively and to share ideas and techniques with one another while providing opportunities for exposure of their art in exhibitions. The society is a member of the Western Federation of Watercolor Societies, a collective of societies in ten western states that share the same goals and mission.

 

Each year the Utah Watercolor Society sponsors a competition juried by nationally recognized watercolorists. From this show, works are selected for the Utah Arts & Museums’ Traveling Exhibition Program. The 2014 exhibition will be located at Hobble Creek Elementary, 1145 East 1200 North Mapleton from January 5 to February 2. Hobble Creek is open Monday-Friday from 8:30 to 3:30. For more information on viewing the exhibition, please call 801-489-2863 or go to hobblecreek.nebo.edu.
