Last week, Nicole, Jenny, Melissa, and I spent Spring Break attending the National Art Education Association convention in Seattle. This was my first time attending NAEA, and I returned to Dallas energized, excited, and filled with new ideas for the teaching we do in our galleries.
Although we all attended a lot of sessions at the convention, we also found time to get out and explore Seattle. I especially enjoyed Pike Place Market and the Seattle Art Museum (their African galleries are amazing). Below are just a few of the photos from my week at NAEA!
