Throughout 2017, we shared resources, questions, and personal schedules of teaching artists throughout the United States. The intersection of teaching and artistic inquiry is a beautiful thing – the teaching artist field. On the blog, we wholeheartedly embrace all of the settings, age groups, and formats of teaching for children, college age students, and adults. We offer resources such as books, websites, and articles to help educators throughout the country; we offer reflection questions to deepen our practice and to continue to grow throughout the span of our careers.
