NYCATA/UFT Artworks ’14 Conference

Hundreds of art teachers took part in for-credit professional development at the New York City Art Teachers Association/UFT Artworks 2014 education conference on Oct. 25. They had a chance to learn new techniques, hear from Artist of the Year Judy Pfaff and share student artwork at NYCATA’s 34th annual all-day citywide conference, held at Manhattan’s HS of Art & Design.
Teachers created their own artist’s journals at a bookmaking workshop.
