Why NAEA matters to Peter: NAEA is an excellent source of knowledge and support for artists and educators. From conferences, to publications, to the NAEA website, I have always been able to find ideas for the classroom that benefit my students and my own practice.
Peter’s tip for art education success: I find that my students are most successful when I act as a facilitator. If I can create an environment where students have the ability to experiment and grow through the use of materials and processes, then students have the opportunity to find their voice and create amazing work.
