National Art Education Convention 2018

Seattle, Washington is a place to add to anyone's bucket list! I recently had the amazing opportunity to visit for the 2018 NAEA (National Art Education Association) convention! The conference is held every year in a different city across the country and gives art educators the opportunity to learn and grow from others in the field of art whether it be practicing artists or other educators.  With over a 1,000 session options, my days were packed with studio workshops, assessment strategies, adaptive arts and general curriculum enhancements.  It was a whirlwind of a weekend, but I also spent some time exploring this amazing city.  There is so much to do and see: The Chihuly Garden and Glass Museum is a must do as well as the tourist favorite, The Seattle Space Needle and Pike Public Market.  As an educator, I feel incredibly blessed to be able to have had this opportunity to grow my craft.
