Hello! I am an elementary art teacher looking for other art teachers to discuss ideas with, ask questions to, and bounce ideas off of... are you out there?

@lucy Hi!

I spent *mumbles number* years teaching visual arts before trading my paintbrushes for a computer lab. I currently teach media arts in a K-8 arts academy.

@theartguy Hello! I've taught visual art in public schools all over the country for what seems like forvever. My husband is a wed-developer and I always see him getting and giving professional advice on forums. I'm looking for something similar but for art education. The job is so specific, it's difficult to have a conversation about work with non-art teachers!

@lucy Well I'm here and happy to be an sounding board!

I started out teaching high school, but much of my career has been K-6 as an art-on-a-cart-in-a-car teacher. Only the last 9 years have been K-8, but all of it has been in public schools. (Even my current arts academy is public. It's just a magnet program.)

@lucy welcome aboard. Here a math teacher

Welcome!

There's a whole Mastodon instance full of artists at mastodon.art.

@Curator often boosts art from there.

You might try asking @Curator directly about any art teachers. With all those artists there must be a teacher or two.

Also, try searching on various hashtags like #teacher. Good luck!

@lucy I'm an elementary gen Ed teacher, but I also have an art degree. I don't know if that helps though. :)
