NAEA 2013: Connecting Communities with Chopsticks...

I am leaving Mobile, AL today and headed to Fort Worth, Texas to the National Art Education Association 2013 Annual Conference, my FAVORITE professional conference of the year!

Stay tuned for the posting of multiple slideshows sharing the experiences Dr. MaryJo Cochran, Dean at Troy University, and I have had related to exploring and sharing Chinese culture and the arts.


Thursday, March 7, 11:00AM - 11:50AM
International
Connecting Communities with Chopsticks : Celebrating Chinese Culture through the Arts with Teachers and Students

Paige Vitulli and Maryjo Cochran 

Infuse your teaching with increased cultural awareness and subsequent appreciation for Asian fine and performing arts through hands-on projects for students.
Best Practice Lecture
Meeting Room 204B/Center/2nd Floor
"The four-day convention includes over 1,000 participatory workshops, panels, seminars for job-alike groups . . . research reports, discussions, exhibits, and tours . . . keynote addresses by world-acclaimed educators, artists, researchers, and scholars . . . with the opportunity to connect with your colleagues from all over the  world. Each year some 140-200 exhibitor booths displaying the latest art  textbooks, high-tech software, prints, slides, curriculum materials, equipment, and programs, as well as the latest studio and art history media are made available for examination and review to art educator delegates.

It is a professional development opportunity to update yourself on the vista of state-of-the-art materials to advance visual art instruction in your program. All NAEA sessions and events are 100% content-oriented and substantively based. There are no NAEA non-content  functions such as golf, sightseeing, shopping tours and the like. Sessions are scheduled from 8:00 am to 11:00 pm every day."



In response to the fabulous feedback and questions from our session today, I am adding the following images of supplies we used. They were ordered through NASCO. I was in a very convenient place (the NAEA Nasco booth) to acquire quick answers.

Thank you to all who attended and shared in the conversation.
Paper Lantern Supplies...just add glue, water and brushes.
