This month's bonus episode:

In the spring I sat down and interviewed local artists so that my middle school students could get an understanding of what it is like to be a working artist.  This was the first interview that I conducted and was honored that it got to be with my sister Jamie Beach.  Jamie is an amazing tattoo artist.  

Thank you all for listening.  This week I ramble on about attending local art conferences and how important they can be.  I also mention a bit of information regarding Colorado's TAB conference.

This week I ramble on about onramps to art for our students.  I look at the negative experiences that many people have had that detoured them from art.  I talk about ways to encourage our students to pursue the arts-based on their interests.  Enjoy.

This week I ramble on about cultural appropriation that occurs in many art classrooms.  I did miss speak and say that I worked at a school with a population of twelve thousand.  That school had a population of twelve hundred.  The coffee hadn't kicked in yet.  Enjoy!

This week I ramble on about finding your drummers.  This rambling is inspired by Clint Pulver and Josh Shipp and the teachers that inspired them.
