About this month's conversation: |
|
2022 is the year of NAEA’s 75th Anniversary! In honor of this milestone, our Town Hall series this year will continue to tackle fresh content that is relevant to visual arts, design, and media arts educators while looking back at NAEA’s history and ahead to our future. Each conversation will reflect on lessons learned and discoveries made through an honest dialogue acknowledging challenges, accomplishments, and growth.
Our January conversation will explore past, present, and future approaches to keeping our visual arts, design, and media arts community vibrant and healthy, including social emotional learning (SEL) and Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (ED&I). Are you interested in building community in your classroom, among your peers, or at the state level? Please share your questions for the panel and join us for this conversation.

ART+STORY
(Grades 3-8)
Art+Story engages students and teachers in a lively discussion around one artwork on view which students later respond to through creative story writing.

Short-term, Part-time Visual Arts Integration Specialist Opening in Burbank
My name is Amy Sheldon. I am a third-grade teacher in Burbank, California. I am looking for an art teacher/teaching artist to come into our third-grade classrooms to teach a 45-minute art lesson to each of our 4 classes. We are looking to schedule this for every Friday for an 8-week period, hopefully February - April (exact schedule to be determined).
We have funding for an 8-week visual arts program (teacher and supplies) from our school’s parent/teacher organization. I am looking to submit 2-3 names of amazing art teachers/teaching artists to my principal for final approval.
This temporary art teacher/teaching artist MUST be fully vaccinated and provide a resume/applicable paperwork requested by our school district/Board of Education.
Our ideal lesson would include:
-a well-known work of art as inspiration
-a quick introduction about the artist
-a mini-lesson on an element/principle of art
-a project or activity that applies that element/principle and where students can feel successful and complete their work in the time allotted.
Thank you.
Amy Sheldon

So much of what you do every day promotes creative leadership in the art room.

The Student Voices Campaign (SVC) puts students in the driver's seat of art and activism, and is an opportunity for students to use their art to create change in their schools and communities. The campaign also provides a CCSS aligned unit for teachers to guide students in the process of civic engagement.
The Student Voices Campaign is an annual statewide creative arts challenge for students grades 7-12. Student artists have a chance to win cash, prizes and have their work showcased at a statewide event. This year, the Student Voices Campaign asks students from any arts disciplines: How do the arts support mental health and create cultural understanding?
Students who participate in the Student Voices Campaign will complete a project that includes Common Core English Language Arts Anchor Standards, California Arts Standards, and California History-Social Science Content Standards.
