Blogs of Interest to Art Teachers

After EXTENSIVE blog-reading on subjects near and dear to myself, an art teacher, I have compiled a list of my ***TOP 17 BLOGS FOR ART TEACHERS***! This list covers the gamut….blogs of classroom activities, blogs about art education and blogs about current trends in contemporary art. I have grouped them under these headings, in no particular order. Each has their own strengths and merits and what one art teacher might only find vaguely interesting, another might jump over the moon for.
