Blogs That Promote Unconventional Discussion

May 6, 2009 by admin 

SchoolArtsWe were thrilled to see The Teaching Palette as a featured blog in the May/June issue of SchoolArts Magazine!  If you missed the article, “Building Your Personal Learning Network, Part 2,” by Craig Roland, you can read it here.

Like an artist that visits a museum for inspiration, we visit blogs to challenge our teaching and thought process.  Put simply, a blog is like a living website; it continually digests and shares information.  Considering our forum, we thought it might be appropriate to add to the SchoolArts list of blog resources:

There are some amazing art classroom blogs certainly worth exploring out there, so please list yours or any you follow in the comments area below!

Art Education Resource blogs:

Art Inspiring Blogs:

  • Esty – that place where artists sell their stuff has a “Handmade Blog” too.  Great inspiration for art projects.
  • Vi.sualize.us Inspiration in Imagery.
  • Hongkiat Great for digital media and Photoshop users.
  • Museum 2.0 The name says it all.
  • WebUrbanist Great alternative art and architecture.

General Education blogs:  (because we are all in this education thing together)

    A fellow blogger sent me your link – I’m so glad he did! Great site, and a great list on that post! I’m experimenting with my art students using an art class blog to communicate and respond about each other’s artwork. I wish I’d seen that list a few months ago when I was starting out – it’s been a lot of work but I think worthwhile!

    I also have my own professional web log (http://justathought.edublogs.org) which, among other things, does speak to my work implementing technology into the art program at the high school where I work. I hope you’ll stop by and check it out!

    thanks for listing me… I guess I had better do some updating! But the school year just seems to be too busy for updates!
