February Meeting - BAEA

February 2^nd Art Lesson Swap!

Our next monthly BAEA meeting will be held at 5:30 on Thursday, February 2^nd at the Birmingham Museum of Art.  The focus of this meeting is a “teacher tested” lesson swap!  Everyone should bring at least one lesson you have taught and had success with.  Please bring work examples if you have them.  Please make 15-20 copies so we can all share.  We only had one middle school teacher last time, so middle school teachers please consider coming!  We will also be briefly going over the survey results from the December meeting.  Our meeting coincides with BMA’s First Thursday, so come early or stay late to enjoy art and refreshments!

The March meeting will be a glass fusing workshop!  It will be held Thursday, March 1^st at 4:30 at the BMA.  A registration form for this meeting will be put up on the Birmingham Art Educators blog within the next week.  I will send out an email when this is completed.  This workshop will be free for AAEA/BAEA members and $25 for non-members.   

To participate in monthly meetings, dues for BAEA will be $10 for the school year.  All workshops will be free if you pay your fees.  You have to be a member of NAEA to do this.  If you are interested in attending a workshop without being a member, the fee will be $25 per workshop.

If you are not already a member of NAEA/AAEA/BAEA please consider joining.  This organization does so much to help art students throughout our state, as well as our nation.  It promotes advocacy for the things you do every day in your classroom.  Joining the national organization gives you automatic membership to our statewide chapter.  AAEA is a great way to network and receive support from fellow Alabama art educators.  You can join NAEA from their website.

Keep a look out in your email for upcoming announcements!

Thank you for all you do!

Sincerely,
