NAEA Open Studio Conversations: Writing for Art Education
Thursday, October 26
Cost: FREE!
Are you inspired to share an article on topics like creative pedagogy, authentic art learning, effective teaching methods, community-based art education, museum education, equity, diversity, and inclusion, or any other subject that directly enriches classroom practices? Perhaps you have a unique teaching concept inspired by an artwork, ready to be transformed into an instructional resource? Whether you have a budding idea or a polished paper, we invite you to submit it to Art Education. As the official journal of NAEA, Art Education explores diverse professional themes relevant to art educators, spanning from preK to university levels—including preservice educators, researchers, scholars, and many more. Join us in shaping the future of art education and be a reflexive practitioner!
Please note that participation in this live event or recording does not include NAEA professional learning credit.
