#K12ArtChat is an #ArtsEd chat that happens every Thurs 8:30 pm CST founded by #TeamGrundler @ArtGuy76 & @GrundlerArt & share Ss' art on Fridays via #FabArtsFri.
A1. We're working tirelessly to publish more ideas about teaching and learning this summer! That's what keeps us hungry for reading and writing and eventually, makes us experiment a bit with knowledge from different fields too! #k12ArtChat
Hey guys!! I'm excited to join tonight!! I just got back from a mini vacation with my family and now I'm ready to make some plans to recharge with my TRIBE!! Hey #K12ArtChat
Amping up my creativity this year has been an on going goal with my sketchbook entries! Also hoping to do some intense art appreciation in museums/galleries this summer #a1#k12artchat
A1, 1st few weeks I veg out like a college student after a big frat party. Then I start doing all of the things I love: reading, art,crochet. I got lucky & have great PD lined up to help boost my brain. #K12ArtChat
A1 the best way to recharge for me is to create. Working in my visual journal is a great way. Plus hanging out with other cool art teachers @Artguy76@GrundlerArt (Art Boss) @EmaleeMartinArt . #k12ArtChat
A1: I look to other teachers and artists on Pinterest and Instagram for inspiration and try to tackle something new. This summer I’m going to refinish and paint a piece of furniture for my new classroom! #K12ArtChat
A2. Lots of reading is involved in recharging our batteries. And not just of academic nature; we're willing to pick any and every book we can to make us feel better about this leisure time! #k12ArtChat
A2: This is a big one for me!! I'm did a HUGE reflection on my last year and I have to make some changes... starting with a break from posting on my blog. I think this will help me recharge for when I start posting again. #K12ArtChathttps://t.co/kg5gfYPDRT
A2 I have been setting a bedtime so I am up and refreshed each day for quality time with my kiddos, I have set aside 1 hour each day for decluttering/organizing around the house #k12artchat
A2: I'm going to the mountains with my family then SAL with @ArtLadyHBK I need some time away from the grind- being year round is hard --- I need to breathe read and draw #k12ArtChat
A2b: Along with taking some time off, I'm doing a little reading. One book that has been suggested to me several times is 'The Best Yes', by @LysaTerKeurst Have any of you read it? #K12ArtChat
Recharging my battery always starts with a deep cleaning of the art studio at school. It sounds crazy but I love to leave it really clean for a fresh start! Let’s make brain step down & process the year. #a2#k12artchat
A2: Once I complete my masters degree in a couple of weeks, I will recharge by stepping away from the everyday routine to set sail on an Alaskan cruise. Looking forward to spectacular views, delicious food, and quality time with my hubby! #K12ArtChat
I just busted my butt tonight just cleaning a part of my house. I think it really does create a recharge to have everything in order! Good call! #K12ArtChat

A2 brought my sketchbook on vacation, I’m thinking of giving my Ss themes to choose from each semester. I just thought I’d try one while traveling.#K12ArtChat
A2, I have a full week of art pd next week, then church camp & finally a full week on the river with no cell service or tv. I should be chilled, focused, & ready to create as I listen to the Hubs play his guitar (or just listen to the water) #k12ArtChat
Q3: Sometimes we can do it on our own, other times we need some help. What do you plan to do with your family to help recharge your battery? #K12ArtChat

A3: One of the things I had to let go of this year was my Project 52 (a picture/s for every week of the year) I missed it so, I have created one since school got out celebrating the fun & time I'm spending with my family. My personal Instagram= https://t.co/7jjElliXAZ#K12ArtChat

A5. Our bucket list has a variety of items. Our editor @_armedwithabook is looking at an interesting month of July and her bullet journal will reflect the same. Our promotions manager, @thesolothinker might go on a solo trip to the Indian city of Jaisalmer! #k12ArtChat
A5 ANY travel that isn’t somehow tied to service/work. I feel llike every trip I’ve taken lately is “business” and I’d love to just go away without a schedule and relax! France, Spain, Italy... #K12ArtChat
