Today, I want to share with you my top ten blogs for Art Educators. Some of these blogs are directly related to art teachers because they are authored by art teachers. Some of these blogs are just a great resource for any teacher.
1. cassiestephens.blogspot.com Cassie Stephens is an art teacher that teaches in Tennessee. Some of the best features of her blog include her "What the Art Teacher Wore" pages, in which she chronicles her daily, artsy, warddrobe, and her "In the Art Room" page that features several pictures of of her students beautiful work.
2. artofed.com This is my favorite blog for art educators, hands down! This blog is all about practical and relevant professional development. They recently created a live podcast that can be accessed from a number of devices and features talented guest art teachers.

9. artfulartsyamy.com What I love about this blog by Amy, an art teacher in California, is the fact that she posts her lesson plans step-by-step with high-quality images. She effectively integrates all those things we're told to integrate as art teachers, literacy skills, multiculturalism, etc. in our lessons.
