#NAEA2017 NYC: Day 1 @theMet art

Hello from NYC! I'm having a great time kicking off NAEA 2017 visiting one of my favorite places, the Metropolitan Museum of Art. I was a bit disappointed that there were no educator workshops during this national conference for art teachers, but I more made up for it by touring the Met for 5 hours viewing current exhibitions and visiting old favorites. If it weren't for human needs, I'd still be walking around the museum. 

Below are a few works of art I thought were worth bringing back to my classroom, and then some. To see more of my walking tours around the city follow me on Instagram and Twitter!. Enjoy:)
