The resources and assignments in this course prepared me to incorporate more art history in my classroom on a regular basis. I realized that art history doesn’t have to be stand-alone lessons. [It] can be part of everyday learning in the art classroom. I am excited to implement the lessons I created in this course.

The Art of Education University has led me on a transformational journey in my profession as an art educator and teacher-leader. The entire AOEU community has become my circle of mentors, guiding me to places inside myself that I never knew existed. Through my learning, growth, and connection with other AOEU students, I have flourished.
