As much as I value posting about prescribed assignments, I figured I would start to transition this blog to be more representational of me, the artist and art educator. My intentions for taking this course was to learn how to develop a useful blog that I can use to communicate with my students about their assignments and sites that might perk their creative interests.
After looking at a number of art/art education blogs, I realized that a lot of the bloggers use their sites to share lessons and give demonstrations of projects that they have done themselves or have had their students do. One great website that I have linked on my blog is Art Education 2.0 (you do have to become a member before you can look at links on the site, but it is worth the sign up).
I think the best thing about blogging is getting to share your ideas with a whole plethora of people that you would have otherwise never have had contact with. Wonderful things can happen when ideas are shared and more people are open to a world of knowledge that they would have otherwise not have been privy to.

I would say you have crossed from novice to blogger. I think blogs on art are awesome.
