Online Art Teachers K-12 started the "nOATworthy Blog" a couple months ago! We are very excited about It because we are featuring YOU, the school art teacher and art educators from museums and community programs, too. Art teachers from across the US, and soon some of our members from 120+ countries, have written blog posts as guest authors and you can too! Details are on the Online Art Teachers K-12 Facebook Group Page on the Announcement pinned to the top of the group page. OATk12 is a service project by art teachers for art teachers and in these uncertain times. Almost 20,000 strong, we have been working together since March 11 of 2020 to support each other and our art programs as we navigate these times we live and work in. OATK12 is an online space for art teachers to share info, curricular resources, support each other, and uplift and inspire each other. You can access our NEW blog here:
https://www.onlineartteachers.com/home And we hope you will write for us - again, see the details on the announcement pinned to the top of our Facebook group page! And keep working together for the good of art education! It takes an advocating village! We work closely with NAEA and support all of our colleagues!

Sharing this PD opportunity that is specifically designed for museum practitioners interested in integrating evaluation into their work!
DIY Evaluation Workshop Series
September 1, 15, & 29
$90 VSA members / $135 non-members
Mark your calendars! Jeanine Ancelet and Marianna Adams of Audience Focus are offering this popular 2019 VSA workshop virtually in September!
Learn how traditional evaluation practice can be adapted for practitioner-driven visitor studies. Investigate ways to embed visitor evaluation studies into existing programs, exhibitions, or online experiences, making data collection more time efficient for practitioners and an enjoyable reflective learning activity for the visitor. Workshop concrete techniques and ideas for use in your own institution. Help create new and innovative methods with other museum practitioners. Have fun and inspire yourself at the same time.
This online course includes three, 90-minute workshops held bi-weekly. Workshops will be interactive in nature, with time for small and large group discussions and time to brainstorm ideas for your own project with colleagues from your own institution or with museum practitioners from other organizations. Throughout the course, we will explore ways that museum professionals can incorporate “evaluative thinking” principles of action research into their professional practice. We call this DIY-evaluation: evaluation activities suited for the busy practitioner.

Caitlin Blake began her journey in the museum field with a Public Programs internship and volunteering with the Animal Care Team at ECHO in 2013. Her work with ECHO inspired her to pursue a degree in Museum Education and she now works as an educator at the Smithsonian in Washington, DC! From learning best practices for community engagement to building educational materials for intergenerational audiences, Caitlin's work at ECHO set a foundation for her work as a museum educator.
You can read more about some of the work she's done while at the Smithsonian by reading this article that she co-wrote with a colleague for Viewfinder, the NAEA Museum Education Division online journal:

Hello Museum Ed folk! I know that NAEA starts tomorrow, but this is fresh off the pdf press from Museum Management and Curatorship and I thought it might be of interest to art museum colleagues. It should give access for 50 downloads and it will be open access soon. Enjoy and "see" you tomorrow!

CALL-OUT to K-12 Art Teachers:
Do you include data visualization projects in your classes?
NAEA Data visualization Working Group would like to hear from you!
Data Visualization is a broad term for numerous approaches to present information visually. Although charts, graphs, and maps are common forms of data visualization, artists and art educators have long recognized the power of visualizing ideas. For example, check out how Laurie Frick tells visual stories through data and how Nina Katchadourian uses art of charts and systems in her Genealogy of a Supermarket.
We are compiling approaches, projects, lessons, and examples from K-12 teachers as resources for NAEA members to be premiered at the April 9, 2020, 7;00-8:00 PM EST webcast, “Is it Art? Data Visualization: How does data visualization align with the National Core Art Standards?”
