NAEA Open Studio Conversation: Art Room 101 Series—Customized Arts Learning Toolkit
[August 20, 2026] The Customized Arts Learning (CAL) Toolkit supports personalized learning in arts education and promotes strength-based instructional practices. Designed for preK–12 educators, the toolkit provides resources to support the needs of diverse learners and uses arts learning as a bridge to academic and interpersonal development. During this Open Studio Conversation, presenters from the State Education Agency Directors of Arts Education (SEADAE) will introduce the CAL Toolkit and share practical strategies for using it in a variety of educational settings. Participants will explore how the toolkit can be used to create dialogue, build consensus, and address the unique needs of your students and school communities while supporting state standards and local learning outcomes. Please note that participation in this live event or recording does not include NAEA professional learning credit.

[August 27, 2026] Step into the Wacom Hero Lab and discover how simple digital art skills can unlock creativity in any classroom. In this Open Studio, educators will explore foundational digital drawing techniques such as sketching, linework, using layers, and adding color while working with free online art tools. Inspired by Wacom’s hands-on Hero Lab experience at NAEA26, this session demonstrates how to guide students through creating their own Art Hero trading card while learning core digital art skills along the way. Participants will leave with ready-to-use lesson plans, printable digital templates, classroom adaptations, and creative inspiration to help bring digital art into their teaching. No prior digital art experience is required. Please note that participation in this live event or recording does not include NAEA professional learning credit.
