NAEA Seattle


I went to the NAEA Art Ed Convention this year for the first time. It was held in Seattle, a city which I had never been before. I was lucky my sister just moved to that area, so I got to spend some time with her before hitting up the art ed shenanigans. Between presentations, workshops, and grabbing swag at the booths, I explored the city. I went to the Seattle Art Museum and even walked through the sculpture park. I did so much walking. I have to say, sometimes I don't feel like I enjoy larger art museums. I'm usually rushing through it so fast and it's really hard to focus when there are hundreds of things to look at. I did get to see some awesome art, but then it was off to see other awesome art. I think my favorite is that stretched out head of a sculpture. It was just fun to look at. I also randomly got to walk past the gum wall before leaving. I didn't know that existed. It's like a publicly participated art display, and rather neat to to walk through.
