President's Palette
I love the start of a new school year and the possibilities of inspiring and fostering the love of creativity and art making with my students. This week as
I unpacked boxes of paints, glazes, markers, scissors and more, I considered the work that my young artists will create this school year. I love new art supplies now as much as I did as child. A fresh start is good. As you begin this new school year, I hope that you will not only think of the materials that you need for your students, but also what you need to be the most equipped, qualified and fulfilled art educator. SCAEA can support
you. Our fall
conference is packed with opportunities: networking, hands-on sessions, incredible artist speakers, vendors and an artists bazaar. This year's conference is Friday, November 30th through Sunday, December 2nd at the Hyatt in Greenville. Take time now to plan to attend: talk to your administrator about a professional day, ask your PTA to assist with conference expenses, does your school or district have a grant for which you can apply? I hope that you can find a way to be there.
Your SCAEA board has been working hard to create an inspiring and fun conference for you!
Look for the launch of our new website this week, until then stay in touch on facebook.
