Just need to remind everyone it's FAT BEAR WEEK!
🐻🐻🐻🐻
You can livestream and learn about a bunch of bears up in Alaska catching fish, getting fat, and getting ready to hibernate, then vote for your favorite! It's amazing 😂

I'm a big fan of Otis (#480), who is so old and lazy he literally sits in the river and waits for salmon to jump into his mouth.

It was great getting to talk to @TimBogatz again on Art Ed Radio from @theartofed I am incredibly grateful he and AOEU are always so supportive of art teachers giving us a platform to share ideas, learn and grow together. #partnersingrowth podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

This episode has it all:

--Some words on challenges, joy, and fulfillment

I love seeing this book!!!
Today is a game day in my art room. I’m doing a few things @TimBogatz mentioned on Art Ed Radio a few weeks ago. Students are starting with “Last Artist Standing” then my younger students are making modular drawings for surrealist book of sorts.

This is really interesting to me. A debate worth diving into for sure.
New: He used AI to win a fine-arts competition. Was it cheating? We talked to the creator, the artists he beat, oil painters, art critics and the judge, who said "it had an immediate story: People looking out into another world" wapo.st/3efNWuj

Grades can be punitive, inaccurate, inequitable; assessment is key! Take a look at these ways (from tipping your toes in by removing grading hurdles to piloting a grades-free system) & create authentic teaching & assessment practices! #k12artchat #gradesfree #assessment #artsed – at Elmhurst, IL

This year I’m trying to mix things up with my Friday art games. After listening to Art Ed Radio from @theartofed and @TimBogatz I decided to play “last artist standing” then make collaborative drawings. To add to the fun I printed some custom stickers for the winners.
This is brave! I love it! 😍🙌😂

Kyle asked a good question here--who do you follow? Who shares good stuff? Who supports you? A few of my faves:
Working w/adv. students: @mrsdean_art, @MrsLRodriguez, @jataylorart
Art History: @WoodArtEd/@WhoARTedPodcast
Literally everything else: @shinebrite71, @MrCCrespo
Today’s Art Ed Radio from @theartofed was great to listen to as I set up my classroom. @TimBogatz talked about the importance of sharing resources and supporting fellow art teachers. Who do you all follow? podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

Contour drawing is always worthwhile in the first days of school. @RobTheArtTeach had a great presentation at the NOW Conference that talked a little bit about contour work.

Sarah Krajewski also has a great how-to that explores tips, tricks, ideas, and benefits of doing blind contour drawings with your kids.

And here's a simple download that can show your students the differences between different types of contour drawings.

One of my favorite things to do at the beginning of the school year is introduce myself with a Quiz About The Teacher.
It's fun, it's engaging, and it's way better than reading a syllabus.

I really enjoyed this article from @jataylorart a few weeks back about what our students need from us this fall. Janet is a master of helping you take on big ideas, but also giving you a plan on how to do it.
