[ART CLASS CURATOR] 25: Art is Basic with Marcia Beckett

This episode is part of the former Art Class Curator podcast and is targeted specifically for art teachers. 

-

Not everyone is lucky enough to get to teach an intimate group of students who are passionate about art, but Marcia Beckett is one of those lucky few. Marcia teaches at a school for gifted students, so not only do her students have higher artistic abilities, but her class size is smaller as well. Join me in today’s podcast as we hear an experience outside of the public school setting.
