Artistic Quotes to Live By...

The Best of Blogs

The best part, in my opinion, of education blogs and the internet in general, for teachers, are the many chances of networking with people across the nation.  I think that one of the more important things to keep you blog interesting, especially for art blogs, is posting plenty of pictures and interesting links. This becomes easier when you become a teacher because you can take student work and post it on you blog for other educators to learn from and for them and their parents to see what's going on in class. 

I really like Dick Blick's lesson plan website.  It allows you to search lesson plans for grade level, and from there you can narrow your search to many of the art mediums. Especially when you are teaching students repetitively (over a number of semesters), I think it is a mark of a good teacher is they mix up their assignments so students get as much exposure as possible.  It is websites like this and education blogs that allows you to spruce up your curriculum easily with good, thought out lessons! 

Every human is an artist. The dream of your life is to make beautiful art.  -Miguel Angel Ruiz
