Art Ed Conferences in Southern California – Are You In?

Hi everyone

One of my goals for this blog is to connect with other art teachers. I’m attending three art ed conferences in Southern California in the next six months. If you plan to attend any of these conferences – please leave a comment! It is nice to meet other art teachers in person.

October 11, 2013: MEGA-ARTS conference, San Diego, Balboa Park. I’m presenting my Olympic Sport Sculptures project.

I couldn’t attend the 2013 NAEA Conference in Texas. However, the wonderful folks at ColArt sent me this FABULOUS goodie bag of their art supplies in honor of K-6 Art selection as a top 10 Art Ed blog for 2012.

The goodie bag contained lots of paints, brushes, markers, pencils, mini canvases and even face paint from brands including Reeves, Liquitex, Windsor and Newton, Conte, Letraset and Snazaroo.

What to try first? I cannot wait to try out my Reeves Water Soluble Wax Pastels. (Compensated affiliate link).

Apparently the colored wax adheres to foil. Here is a lesson plan from Blick that uses the wax pastels on textured tooling foil:

I have a name art foil relief project on the blog that might look very nice in wax pastel! I will definitely report back on my experiments with all my fabulous new supplies.

Thank you ColArt!
