The conversation covers the importance of building a community of art teachers, being willing to share ideas and lessons, and taking on mentorship roles. They also highlight the value of advocating for art education and talk about ways in which art teachers can express gratitude for the art ed community and take positive action to support and strengthen the field. And, if you want to stick around until the end, Kyle dives into This or That: Art History Edition.
