Over the years, I've heard from several Wisconsin art teachers....and I know that they are an amazing group with a strong association!!!  If you are from Wisconsin, please make plans to come...I'd love to meet as many of you as possible.  I think I'll be leading around 6 sessions during the two days...on a variety of topics...some hands on...some discussion based.  I'm kind of a big kid..so ya know we're gonna have fun!

If ya plan to be there..leave a note in the comment section...

I'd love to meet people before I meet people!! 

Starving Artist No More Summit

I recently did an interview with Heidi Easley about how teaching art & being an online personality (is that what I am?) have allowed me to have opportunities to make extra money.  She has put together an online "summit" to discuss how artists can bring in revenue through their artistic skills!  

CHECK IT OUT!!!  I THINK IT IS GOOD INFORMATION FOR ALL OF US IN THE ARTS!!

Winter Conference: The Art of Education

This past summer, I had the privileged to be one of the speakers at The Art of Education's first online conference!  IT WAS SO MUCH FUN!!  We got to be online in real time talking with those attending the conference.  Great questions were asked...and great conversations were taking place during & after the conference.  If you would like to go to a conference with great content...this is your conference!!!!!!  And you can do it from the privacy of your own home in your PJ's!!! HOW FUN IS THAT?!?!

PLUS..I'M GOING TO BE SPEAKING AGAIN!!!! 

 (my session is on bulletin boards)

Sign up today!!!!  The conference is January 25th!!!!

AOE ONLINE CONFERENCE REVIEW

WHAT A GREAT TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you did not attend the AOE Online Conference...you need to the next time it is offered!

Great conversations, amazing content...and Ridiculously Relevant!!!!!!

( http://www.theartofed.com/aoeconference/ )

I wish that the talks could have been longer than 10 minutes!!!!  Some of the presenters I think I could listen to all day!!!   A big plus to attending the online conference..we'll have access to the talks & the handouts for the next year!  Some were so chalked full of information...I will need to rewatch them over and over to pull out all of the practical information provided.  

I had a part in the conference as well...and it really was a lot of fun to do.  Recording the video was a little stressful.  I'm such a people person...I really feed off of reactions/comments/questions.  So talking to a camera was a new challenge.  

Any of you who were "there"...and are interested in discussing more about hosting a student teachers...please feel free to comment or e-mail me!  I know I kind of just grazed over things to keep in the time frame!  So lets keep the dialog open...and know I'm here if ya wanna chat!!!

Need A Speaker For Your State/Regional Conference?

So my solo session at NAEA Fort Worth was Blogging & Shameless Self Promotion.  

I practice what I preach!!!!!

I love speaking to & encouraging fellow art educators!  If you are looking for a speaker for your state/regional/local conferences...consider me..MR.E! :)  I would need travel costs(I am a poor public school art teacher after all..ha ha!!).  

You never know unless you put it out there....and I'm not afraid of rejection(or silence).  

Look Who's Going to Fort Worth With Me!

(I was inspired by Mr. R's ugly sweater purse post for  how I decorated the page...ha ha
