Podcast appearances and mentions of cassie stephens

This week, my guest is the one and only Cassie Stephens. She is an amazing art teacher well known for her unique style and wonderful lessons in all media. Find her books, podcast, lesson plans, and more on her website. Our subject for this episode is Christian Dior. Dior was an influential designer in the mid 20th century. He made a splash in the design world when he introduced "The New Look" in his first collection just after starting his own design company after World War 2. His work was structured in the top, narrow in the waist contrasted with a big, flowing skirt. The use of so much fabric was seen as decadent in some circles, but Dior was seeking to move past the rationing and austerity of the war era and bring the joy back with his fresh designs.

After spending entirely too long at Indiana University getting her degree in both painting and art education, Cassie Stephens did her student teaching in the magical land of Ireland. While she was away, her parents, fully aware of her slacker ways, sent out 52 art teacherin' job applications to such far away places as Alaska. One such place that called her for an interview was Nashville, Tennessee. On a whim, she loaded up her jean-jumpers, resume and chain-smoking grandma to made the trip to Nashville where she landed her first teaching gig. Fast forward nearly 15 years and Cassie had settled down with her husband and their three cats. Sadly, she'd fallen into an art teacherin' slump rehashing stale art lessons, still wearing those sad jean jumpers and doing little creating of her own. It was then that she decided to create a blog that might help snap her out of her funk. She'll be sharing more about that here in a moment. Zip forward once more to the present. These days, you can find Cassie teaching in Franklin, Tennessee, just south of Nashville. She's written two books filled with sewing and clay crafts for kids and art teachers alike. You can also take a listen to her podcast where she shares all things life and art teacherin'. Cassie's Book Art Teacherin' 101 Cassie's Youtube Channel

It was so much fun talking with Mark Rode! Our chat brought me down memory lane a bit as my path was similar in many ways to his. Living in New York in our 20’s, engaged in the art world there, with dreams of becoming an art professor. I loved hearing how Mark’s dreams shifted and how his art practice is also shifting to better align with other values in life - like family and stability! It’s also been helpful doing follow-up chats about racism with the artists I’ve interviewed. I realize that these questions were shockingly lacking from my initial thoughts about what to discuss, so my attempt to rectify that is going back to those that have been recorded, but not yet released. Mark talked about several Black artists that he likes to share with students, including one I didn’t know. I’ll link to them in the blog post, so go check that out. Building community and advocating for ourselves and our profession is so important. I love what Mark has done to highlight other art teachers with his interview website, ask the art teacher. Go check it out! He has some great interviews with incredible art teachers including Don Masse, Nic Hahn, Cassie Stephens, Julie Voigt and many more. I also really like his paintings and how he pushes space and depth using hard lines, opacity, value, color, and texture. I’m excited to see what’s next as his practice ebbs and flows. It was nice to talk about the reality of trying to maintain an art practice while teaching and parenting young children. And Mark is still in the thick of it with a 4 year old and 8 month old! I love his idea of shifting to drawing or watercolor on paper for a while. Mark Rode is an artist and educator based in Minneapolis. He paints within the realm of geometric abstraction, exploring the spatial possibilities and contradictions in the picture plane. Mark also teaches visual art to students in grades 1-5 at an elementary school in the Twin Cities. His students are a continual source of inspiration.

In March, I spoke with Cassie Stephens! Yes, THE Cassie Stephens, art teacher extraordinaire. If you don’t know her, just google her name. I have to admit, I was suuuuper nervous during this interview. Cassie is such an incredible art teacher and has been so generous in how she shares her knowledge and experience with the world via youtube, her podcast, her books, and now her instagram live series. I tried to ask her about things she hadn't shared elsewhere and loved hearing about her own creative process and practice, including hesitation to just dive into new materials and techniques, learning to be ok with shifting passions, and the benefits of being a hoarder. Haha. She talked about scratching your creative itch and working your passions into your teaching to bring enthusiasm to the classroom. It was also so refreshing to hear that despite seeming to magically produce an insane amount of content and fashion while teaching full-time, she is as human as us all and just has lots of projects going all the time, many of which take months or even years to complete. Thank you so much, Cassie!! I loved hearing such encouragement from her, from art-making to teaching to just hitting record right now. The more I think about it, the more I feel that her superpower is encouragement. Every time I watch her videos, I feel it - whether intended for kids or other art teachers, she beams enthusiasm and getting things done. She talked about allowing her passions and interests to change over the course of her life - going from oil painting to fashion - and being open to continued change.

I'm so excited to share all the ups and downs, ins and outs that my 20 years of art teacherin' and art makerin' has gifted me. This podcast episode serves as an introduction so you can know what to find when you join me here. Some weeks we'll chat classroom management while others we'll talk about how to get back to what brought us to teaching art in the first place: creating. It's a mixed bag of nuts, just like we folks who teach art. I'm so glad you are here.

The field of art education is often overlooked as a viable career in most school counseling offices. Many college students aren't even aware that the profession exists. Today's guest, Kelsi Quicksall declared Communications as her major until a quiet suggestion from a loved one opened up a world of possibilities. Now into her second year teaching art, Kelsi has a passion for teaching, a love and connection to her students and a strong following on Instagram. She absolutely radiates positivity! Get to know Kelsi Quicksall!  1. Can you share how you got started as an art teacher? It took me entirely too long to realize that teaching art was a viable career option, and a super rewarding one! I always loved art and school. I considered myself an artist, took all of the art classes in high school... but for some reason, it wasn't portrayed to me as a realistic career. It wasn't until I found myself feeling out of place in my first major in college (Journalism) that I stumbled upon Art Education. Quite literally, too- I was in the car with my boyfriend at the time (now fiancé) after class, rambling about how I didn't know what I wanted to do with my future. He looked at me and my crazy outfit and said, "You know who you remind me of? Me elementary art teacher. You even dress like her. You ARE an art teacher!" After than, I made the switch to study Art Education and it all clicked. I graduated with a minor in Mass Communications (having started college in Journalism) and still enjoy media and writing, but mainly sharing on social media!  2. What do you feel is your best attribute or strength as an art teacher? My best attribute also is my worst... I have high expectations and goals for myself and my students, but I'm also a procrastinator. As a result of both, I work extremely hard at the last minute to put things together that meet my expectations. I hold my students to high expectations as well, and they create amazing work as a result! The downside of my "attribute"? Lack of time for anything else like eating, breathing, sleeping... just kidding, kind of.  3. What do you do well in the art room and how does this benefit your students? Get silly! I have been told I have a ton of energy. With minimal amounts of sleep, I don't feel like this is true, but I guess the coffee is doing it's thing. I find that when I am super enthusiastic and excited about something (a "new" art media, artist, technique, project, art show, etc) that energy is transferred to my students. I thrive off of their feedback. I use a microphone to enhance engagement- most would think it's for my students, but it's also for me. I love using that thing. I've been asked why I don't just use a hands free mic set (often provided by schools), and the answer is because I love holding the microphone and taking the "stage". I even have a second microphone for students- they are more likely to want to share with the mic! It really enhances engagement when we're analyzing artwork, sharing what they see/think/feel/wonder, or just what we've learned. If I notice that they're not excited, I know I need to make changes. If I ever feel like I'm "losing them", I immediately go for silly. Silly accents, songs, and call and responses really work for my students. As the great art educator Cassie Stephens always says, "silly sticks." It's so true!  4. Why do you feel teaching art to kids is important? Teaching art is so rewarding for both parties- my students and myself. Teaching is one of the most under-appreciated and underpaid professions, but that's not the challenge. The challenge is in the way teachers think and the time we spend thinking. Educators cannot simply "turn off" their brain. I now think of everything in life as a potential lesson, an art project, or teachable moment. That being said, teachers work hard. Countless unpaid hours planning lessons, money spent out of pocket on supplies,

Cassie Stephens is the Mary Poppins of art teachers. As in she gets things done, but with a spoonful of rainbow sugar. This my friends, is not your average grade school art teacher. When Cassie is not sewing her own custom wardrobe with portraits of Andy Warhol’s iconic soup to wear during pop art week at school, you can watch her on You Tube, listen to her podcast, or follow along on Instagram with all her art class adventures.Teachers, creatives, lady bosses, -- if you have an Etsy store, have experienced burn out or wondered what kind of camera equipment you need to start a You Tube channel there is something in this episode for you.Host: Jennifer Perkinshttp://creativequeso.comhttp://jenniferperkins.comGuest: Cassie Stephenshttps://cassiestephens.blogspot.comPRODUCER: Myrriah GossettMUSIC: Chris Boehk See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The gang was SO excited to hang with America's favorite CRAZY art teacher, Cassie Stephens! She is so cool and walks to the beat of her own drum. Her authenticity and uniqueness not only gives her elementary school students a phenomenal education and passion for art, but she inspires other educators around her. She even was honored as a "Cool Teacher" by Scholastic. Whether she's handmaking her outfits inspired by great artists to use as an ice-breaker for her classroom or writing a book about clay projects for kids, Cassie is constantly creating new ways to get herself and others around her inspired. We LOVE her-- and you will, too!

Cassie Stephens teaches art at an elementary school in Nashville, Tennessee.  She spends a lot of her free time sewing wacky outfits to accompany art lessons, thrift shopping and just making stuff. She is also the creator and host of the podcast Everyday Art Room, a podcast that offers a glimpse into the world of elementary art and offers advice, stories and ideas to improve your teaching. Full shownotes: http://yourcreativepush.com/cassiestephens In this episode, Cassie discusses: -Going from a comfortable identity as the “weird artsy kid” in high school to an uncomfortable self-conscious lack of identity in college. -The difference in mentality between her fine art classes and her art education classes and classmates. -The biggest lie she was ever told and how it stayed with her for years. -How she put so much effort into teaching art that she let go of creating for herself for seven years. -The ways in which she got back to her personal creative side. -The ways she tries to align her DIY creative side with her teaching side. -How she balances her time. -The logic and emotion behind her decision to stop pursuing painting. -Why we should never create from a place of obligation or guilt, because the work will always reflect those emotions. -Why we lose our childlike excitement for creativity. Cassie's Final Push will remind and inspire you to LOVE the creative person inside of you!   Quotes: “I had to decide – did I want to be an artist?  Or did I want to be an art teacher?  Because I was led to believe that I couldn’t be both.” “Because I spent so much of my time figuring out how to teach art and trying to do the best job that I could, I completely let go of the idea of creating.” “It’s like a vitamin deficiency.  When you’re a creative person and you’re not creating, then something feels off and wrong.  You’re not taking your vitamins.” “I am still an epic poor manager of time but somehow I force myself to find time and to make time.” “I spent so much time letting my professors in my head and losing track of who I was and why I loved painting.” Links mentioned: Everyday Art Room Podcast YCP Morning Motivation: Facebook / Discord Connect with Cassie: Blog / Facebook / Instagram / YouTube / Twitter On the next episode: Koosje Koene: Website / Instagram Join the discussion in the Facebook group!

As art teachers, we have the opportunity to let kids know that their opinions, their vision, and their aesthetics matter. Andrew brings on AOE writer Lindsey Moss to chat about the idea of "Kidaesthetics". Listen for their discussion on the difference between how kids and adults perceive art (6:00), how art teachers balance the aesthetic vision against the expectations of adults (9:30), and how we educate adults on what kids find aesthetically appealing (18:15).

Creating a portrait in elementary school is a natural part of any art curriculum. Over my 13 years as an art teacher, I taught thousands of kids how to draw portraits--whether of themselves, a friend or an imaginary person. It may surprise you that teaching a child how to draw a portrait is not just about eye-placement or looking into a mirror, it's also about how to create a piece of art that captures the likeness not just through drawing but with texture and color. In this episode of Art Made Easy, I identify key learning objectives for each grade level, detail what art supplies I love best plus how I select just the right portrait project that engages students at every grade. Make sure to download my FREE Scoping & Sequencing of Portrait Making PDF that details the projects, supplies and learning objectives for each grade level. Just login to your DSS account to access.

And it was all because you downloaded the show and subscribed in iTunes. Today may be the best show yet. Cassie Stephens takes you inside her art room and shares her teaching strategies from how she teaches directed drawing, how she handles early finishers, and the process she uses to create collaborative murals and thematic units. If you are action oriented, grab a notepad and pencil because this show is going to offer amazing tips. But for me, hearing how Cassie transformed herself from an overworked, stressed out art teacher (hard to believe, right?) to her carefree, colorful persona is not only remarkable but inspiring.
