Caroline Payson, Director of Education at Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum, will talk to Tim about his career as an educator, teachers who have inspired him and his commitment to encouraging the next generation of artists and designers.

Speaker: Thomas Mann
423D is metal artist and jewelry designer Thomas Mann's personal take on the mysterious event of how creative mental visions of the artist become a physical reality.

Super Session: Art Education by Design: It's Everywhere!
Speakers: NAEA Design Issues Group (DIG)
Have you ever said, “Students, look around! Art is everywhere…?" As art educators, we frequently use that phrase when in fact we may actually be referring to examples of design. How are they the same and how are they different? This session brings to life how design thinking is fundamental to art education and why it belongs in your art curriculum and classroom!
