How I Became an Art Teacher & My Best Advice for Teaching Art to Kids: AME 001

Yes, the day has come! After a long time deciding if, I finally said when. Thank you SO much for your encouragement, show suggestions and help getting Art Made Easy off the ground. Many of you were so pumped about this show but confessed that you had no idea what a podcast was. I love you guys for your unbridled enthusiasm. Here's a quick definition of a podcast & what to expect from Art Made Easy: A podcast is a free radio show. The host (me!) interviews guests or talks about a favorite subject. You get to listen through your computer, laptop or smart phone. I like to listen to my favorite podcasts in my car during long travel days or on my walks via set of ear buds and my iPhone. You can subscribe to the show via iTunes and Stitcher radio. The benefit is that your free podcast ap on your iPhone will automatically be updated with all the podcast episodes from any show you subscribe to. Go ahead and give it a try! To listen on your laptop or computer, just click the play button in the colored box below. To listen via iTunes, click on the "play in iTunes" banner and click subscribe. And now onto the show... For my first show, I wanted to tell you my story of how I became an art teacher. We all have different paths and this one is mine. I'll share advice to those who are just starting out as an art teacher and some of my best tips for teaching art to kids. This episode is for anyone who thinks they may not have the qualifications to be an art teacher. Teaching art to kids doesn't have to happen inside a classroom. You can teach art at home, at a summer camp and even as a volunteer (like I did). If you are an art teacher just beginning your journey, I'm sharing my best advice to get you through that tough first year. Download my free handout and keep it in your teacher planner and refer to it when you have a tough day.
