What I Love About TAEA: Meeting people who share the same passion for Art Education that I do. It is truly amazing how much talent Texas Art Educators have, and I love all of the opportunities we get to collaborate and learn from each other to develop our craft and become the best advocates for our students.


Hello Region 19! My name is Claudia Cardenas and I am a born El Pasoan, who momentarily left for college. I am a proud graduate of Texas State, where I studied with Eloise Krabbenhoft and David Hefner. Those two people truly inspired me to become the artistic, overly-prepared teacher I am. I am always on the pursuit of knowledge, so I am a proud member of TAEA, NAEA, Deep Space Sparkle (which is gold for Elementary teachers), and Art of Ed. I won't lie — my heart is in Fine Arts, but I also have an extensive background in music and theater, which I try to connect some lessons with. Last of all, I became an art teacher to inspire students as I have with my little sister. If you have any questions feel free to contact me. Stay amazing guys!

 

Texas Art Education Outreach


TAEO promotes and offers successful quality art education support to Texas art educators through mentoring and professional development presentations.

  • What are you offering for your area? Can you send TAEO information regarding districts that might need our help?
  • Are you offering a Regional Conference at any time during the school year or summer?
  • Do you know an art educator in your area who could use support?
  • Are you connected with the ESC's within your region?

TAEO can help with presenters and mentors.

Let's help each other to prepare, support, and encourage Texas art educators.
