I attended the NBPTS Teaching and Learning Conference in Washington. This was five seriously busy and wonderful days in our nation's capitol. The workshops I attended were inspiring, informative, and thought provoking. It was great to get away and see so much while gathering information and ideas for all the ways I teach and promote visual arts.
Here are some of the more 'arty' photos I took. I saw: the White House (from outside the gate), Washington Monument, Vietnam Memorials, Lincoln Memorial, Korean War Memorial, WWII Memorial, Ford's Theater, The National Portrait Gallery, The National Gallery of Art, The National Archives, The Capitol, and The Botanic Garden. All this sightseeing was in addition to the conference!

At the Capitol, we got in to the Senate chamber and heard Senator Angus King speak. He spoke about a couple from Windsor, Maine who carve canes for veterans, for free. It was quite a coincidence to hear mention of Windsor, as this is where I teach!
