The NAEA convention last weekend was so much fun. I met a bunch of people and got tons of stuff. Everything from lesson plans to supplies and samples. The people were all so nice there and very informative and helpful. I attended a couple of the discussions, Chuck Close for example. I had a really hard time hearing him but the little I did hear I believe he was talking about his career and how he stumbled upon art and has done it ever since. I also attended a summer art workshop in which the speaker, Sara Cress, told us about a summer art activities program she put together for younger students (pk-5th grade i think) and her high school students who were thinking about becoming art teachers, were able to volunteer and put this on their resume and see if they actually enjoyed teaching children. This is her website http://sarahcress.com/ and you just have to click on 'presentations' on the top blue/teal area and you can scroll down and see the summer art activities and everything she did to make it come to life.
