I have a new blog - not for knitting, but for teaching. I pulled some old posts that relate to the theme of the new blog, teaching art, and added them to it.
I will be done with grad school in a few weeks, and I hope to get to update them both more frequently!
I am an artist and art teacher living in north central Alabama. I am interested in art, art history, knitting, ancient textiles, mixed-media, ceramics, game design, video game design, the use of technology in education, gamification in education, and ways to motivate and engage high school students.
