NAEA 2016

Keynote speaker, Jean Houston, addressing a packed house about the New Renaissance that is occurring.

Inspired, exhausted, rejuvenated, excited. These all describe what I am feeling after attending the National Art Education Association's conference. I attended the 3 day event with Ms. Scott and Mrs. McDole, East and West's art teachers, as well as with 5,000+ other art teachers from around the world. It was amazing attending professional development sessions hosted by many of my art idols, many of whom I have mentioned on my blog before.  From assessment to technology to interdisciplinary lessons, I attended some great sessions and took away many ideas that I hope to bring back to Milton. I'm already counting down the days until NAEA 2017 in New York City!

This art educator showed a video where his 3rd graders created a dance performance to explain the concept of solar fusion. That is crazy cool!
