- Meet Nichole Hahn, NAEA’s April Mentor! Check out her first blog post: Artist Trading Card Swap. “Art connects and unites! As Art Educators we know this. We know that you don’t need to speak the same language to communicate when using the Arts. This idea of connecting people through Art was the spark of Mini Matisse Global Artist Trading Card Swap. This year we completed our 3rd Annual swap and will be announcing our 4th swap on MiniMatisse.blogspot.com in August of 2018.” Read full post on the blog
- Art Connects! I have shared that in the last blog post about Artist Trading Cards. I want to share today how to connect our community and families to the Art Studio. So often we are overwhelmed with the numbers of students we teach in the Art Classroom. Many times, we teach hundreds of students in a week. It is hard to feel connected to them in such masses, but to make a difference in your students life, a connection and relationship is going to help make every student feel welcomed and safe in your school and classroom.
