Andrew and Tim join forces for the “official” debut of AOE Live, taking on the topic of Inspiration. Jen Dahl joins the guys for an in-depth conversation about personal teaching style, where we find our inspiration as art teachers, and how inspiration affects us in both the short-term and long-term. And can we figure out why Andrew never fully plans his lessons?
