When I began this blog, I didn't think anyone would ever read it. The main reason I began the blog was to organize my lessons and photos. I figured if my lesson ideas were on the internet, I wouldn't loose them. Anyway, I am constantly amazed that people are actually reading it, and best of all, through this blog, I have been able to be connected with other art teachers. Being an art teacher is often a very solitary career, and blogging has become my way of staying in touch with other art teachers.
I am just constantly amazed that people from all over the world take the time to read my blog. Recently, I received an email from Labbé, a german family-run publishing house who wanted to do a short interview with me, and include my blog on their website. I am incredibly flattered that anyone in Germany would care about me or my blog. Anway, here is the link to their Blog Portrait: For those like me, who don't speak German, just translate it through google. The internet is a wonderful thing!(By the way: the pictures here have absolutely nothing to do with this post. I just hate posting without a picture.)
I have recently started blogging for the same reasons as you and it is so much fun. Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteI know exactly what you mean! I love connecting with other art teachers and so wish we could all come up with a way to get together in person! Don't you think we would all have the best time!? Way to go with the interview!

Congrats on the interview! By the way - I absolutely LOVE the artwork you have posted, even if it has nothing to do with the post. Should I assume these are pieces of YOUR own artwork? Gorgeous, both of them!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, I too am blown away by the new friends I've made all over the world through blogging, and by the fact that people are interested in anything I have to say. Blogging is awesome. I agree with Tana - it would be great to meet blog friends in person.
Phyl, Yes, the pictures I posted are some of my own artwork. (Not recent artwork though, they are things I did in college).
ReplyDeleteTana, I agree, I wish we could all get together too. We really would have the best time.
