NAEA Conference in "Charming" Baltimore


I'm in the midst of my visit to Baltimore and my first National Art Educators Assoc. conference and I'm SO happy! I submitted two presentation proposals hoping I'd get to present one and the NAEA accepted BOTH of them shoot me now! So, on top of finishing my masters thesis, I've been planning these. Presented Beet Juice and Ed Ruscha on Wednesday and Abstract Expressionism Postmodern and Social Justice style today. Was a nervous WRECK: presented my first one, a 60 minute lecture, in 20. Took me back to those early days of teaching! Didn't have time to polish the second, so I saw myself as sorta bozoish.

I've been to 8 other workshops and am going home with a spinning head. I have SO much to read, consider, share, and write. Wish I didn't have to go to Texas, Pennsylvania, or Ohio for a doctorate in Art Ed. Looking at Stanford.

If you came to one, or both, of these sessions, my apologies to you for looking sO scattered. I pretty much was. If you're still interested in the PowerPoints, I will have them posted somewhere as soon as I get back to California, and will provide the location here. And thanks again for coming!
