Join us as featured authors from NAEA’s flagship publication, Art Education, share and discuss their recent hot topic articles.
Art Education covers a diverse range of topics of professional interest to art educators and others whose interest is quality visual arts education. Recent topics include STEAM, Arts-Based Research, Creative Leadership, Artistic Interventions, and more.
We are continuing our engaging and informative discussion on The Challenge of Change. Join Art Education authors as we continue to seek answers to the question, “What is the change we need as art + design educators, and how can it be sustained?”
