Call to Art: Day One

Today the Online Unconference, Call to Art, began! 

I hope you registered.  The sessions were wonderful, and I know I’ll take so much of what was shared into my classroom! I cannot wait for the next set to be shared tomorrow morning! 

Representing Sargent Art at TAEA 2019!

This summer I was asked to represent Sargent Art at Tennessee Arts Academy.  I had so much fun & loved sharing the great products at Sargent Art with the teachers attending.  Well, they liked me enough to ask me to do it again at the Tennessee Art Education Association State Conference.  I am a major people person. I love being with art teachers.  I love great art products.  IT IS A WIN WIN WIN!!! ha ha  Here are some of the pictures from my adventures of representing Sargent at TAEA this past weekend!!

I had two tables this time!!
 It gave teachers a ton of space to test out supplies.

Friday night we had a reception for our conference & Sargent had two tables for teachers to try products, work collaboratively, and make things! 

I created two brains using Sculpt It!.  The teachers were allowed to use all the painting products & the marker products I had from Sargent to make them beautiful!  (Their glitter paint was one of the favorites!!)

(It was a western theme! ha ha)

We also used Sargent Lamination Glue to decoupage on the styrofoam head & canvases I brought along!  They then used acrylic paint, paint dabbers, and the paint sticks to add some more flair!

ONE MORE SESSION YOU MUST ATTEND!

I have one more session for you all to attend...MINE!!! :) ha ha  

I followed Twitter & Facebook closely during the NAEA NOLA...and truly enjoyed seeing all the joy & excitement of being together...learning from one another...and experiencing a fun city like New Orleans!!!  However, I thought about the reality of MONDAY!  The day after conference is over...and you find yourself back home..back at work...back to the same ol' same ol'!!  The situation is the same....BUT YOU HAVE CHANGED!!!  You have a fire/spark & are full of ideas!!  How do you keep the momentum going?  Hope my little video will encourage you to carry on with your renewed passion...and fresh ideas!  

AOE Winter Conference 2015

I hope many of you took advantage of the AOE Winter Conference!!!  I was not able to watch all the presentations the day of because I was leading professional development at Western Kentucky University, but have really been enjoying the After Pass...to watch & rewatch the different presentations!!  Amazing content in short art teacher attention span bursts!!

I'm not really obsessed with selfies...though....it does seem that way!! ha ha  I was showing my environment for the portion of the conference I was able to attend.  The prof. at WKU locked me in the computer lab!!!! ha ha  It was nice quiet...and very very white?!?!?! :)  

OH OH...IT'S ME..IT'S ME!!!!!  It is always very odd hearing yourself...and watching yourself?!?!? Don't ya think??  I love to talk...love to share...not a fan of listening & watching myself.  Hope you all don't find me as annoying as I do! ha ha  

If you have not attended an AOE Conference before...they are great fun!! There will be another one this summer!!!!!!!  CHECK IT OUT!!!!  

Here is the recap from The Art Of Education site!!
