I teach elementary art in Dublin, Ohio. I promote my art program to the community in three big ways. First, I have an art show EVERY year that brings in several hundred people from the community. Second, I work with the Dublin branch of the Columbus Metropolitan Library. They display student artwork for the entire community to see. This year, my fourth grade students are creating a bottle cap mural that will be donated to the library. Third, I have a blog that is designed, in part, to keep parents aware of what is going on in the art room. You can see it here--> http://thomaselementaryart.blogspot.com/

What are other Ohio teachers up to?

Hi fellow Buckeyes! I am an online art teacher and I work from home in Columbus. It's my first year teaching so I am learning a lot and loving working with all the technology. I student taught in Dublin for elementary (Scottish Corners).
I also have a blog about my experience of teaching online. http://onlineartteacher.blogspot.com

Hi, everyone! I am a first year art teacher. I just moved from New York to Columbus this summer, and I'll be teaching K-8 art at Imagine Great Western Academy.

I'm planning on trying out a Twitter account to keep parents updated on what's going on in the art room. Feel free to follow @MsDreskin if you want! Hopefully I can keep it going throughout the year!

Hi ! I am a middle school art teacher in Sylvania, Ohio. I taught elementary art for 18 years. I would love to hear how you are all dealing with the new standards, evaluation system and assessments!
