Today’s episode takes a look at AOEU’s newest graduate course, Innovation Through Design. Abby Schukei returns to the show to discuss the development of new course with Tim. Listen as they cover a variety of topics, including how AOEU develops their courses, the importance of creativity in everything that we do, and the difference between creativity and innovation.
We always value the connections we make as teachers--our PLCs, our PLNs, and our collaborations with artists and community members. And now it's time to give our students some of those same opportunities! In today's episode, Lena Rodriguez joins Tim to discuss The Palette, a conference she is helping produce for student artists across the country. Listen as she shares the reasons behind the development of the conference, the opportunities available for students, and why students need to connect with each other.
We have heard about so many unique and creative ways that art teachers are putting together their spring art shows--so why not a socially distant drive-thru art show? In today's episode, Lindsey Moss joins Tim to share her ideas for a collaborative, community-based art show that involves all of her students while keeping everyone safe from beginning to end.
As AOEU continues to celebrate its 10th anniversary, Tim invites Amanda Heyn back to the show to reminisce and share some of their best stories. Listen as they talk about how art teaching and the art teacher community has changed in the past 10 years, tell some behind-the-scenes stories from the early days of AOEU, and discuss where AOEU may be going in the future!
