2020 Fall Conference Goes Virtual

As we move forward with planning the 2020 Vision Fall Conference, we would like to update you with some of the changes we will be making. Due to COVID-19 and a lack of information about gathering sizes and what stage of the Badger Bounce Back Plan we may be in October when our conference was originally scheduled, we have made the decision to host our first ever virtual conference. This will be in place of our traditional face-to-face conference.

​To learn more about the conference click the link below as new and changing information will be added.

NAEA Needs Your Help

NAEA is looking for the following from its members: 

During this unprecedented time, as art educators we are faced with the creative challenge of a transition to, and teaching in, a remote online learning environment. As the social media editors for Art Education, we would love to see and share how you have tackled this. In the upcoming weeks, in addition to highlighting articles in our current monthly issue and in our archives that speak to these ideas on our Instagram and Facebook feeds, we would love to feature visuals from you. 

We would like to hear from you! Share with us your new teaching reality: it can a photograph of your new setup, some tips and innovative ways to teach art through a camera, an idea, or just the artwork your students have been creating.
Please include a description of what the photo shows and a credit for the image. We will select and post images throughout the end of the school year.
 
Members can submit to the following email: artedjournalsocial@gmail.com
 
Or they can send a google folder with images and credit information.
