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.
