Virginia art education conference -2019

Just got back from the Virginia State Conference for art educators and I am feeing super pumped. So pumped that now I want to attend the National Art Educator conference in March of 20202. You can find more of my tweets and instagrams under @cutelisart on Twitter and @Igettorun in IG. 




The parking lot was filled with arts advocacy stickers... very exciting. The minute I got home I ordered one of these stickers for my car. 

One of the first classes I took was a circular weaving class. I am obsessed now. 

Just look at all this yarn....yummy!!

I also took an altered book class in which I used the image below to crate the altered box below it. 









Went to a throwing pottery wheel class. How did I ever think I could do this on my own baffles me....I am feeling so lucky to get all this. 




Next, Author Julie Chen spoke about her process in designing books and this was absolutely fascinating. "A book that is not made is not a book. "


Then there was a vendor's fair and tons of handmade stuff. just so much creativity under one roof. 


The awards ceremony was super inspiring.... heroes among us. 























Last, I attended a printmaking class. Lots of fresh ideas on how to use printmaking in the classroom. 


Now I really want to go to the National conference. Applying for a scholarship. wish me luck. 

The drive back home was gorgeous. Surrounded by cows and mountains.
