Speaking with Jess was so inspiring and educational for me! I learned from her and tried to soak up her way of being with her students, with her body, within liminal space. She talked about her experiences at the intersection of many identities and how that has shaped her as a teacher, as an artist, and as a human. She shared some incredible dialogical investigations she’s facilitated with students, digging into deep questions about time, fear, and love. We got into the systems of oppression and how we as teachers can create change. I loved her way of talking about teachers as the buffer between the systems of power and our students - we can break the rules and be a protective barrier for our students. This was such a powerful and helpful conversation!!

#67: Carly Terreson: The Body in Community
Hearing about Carly's process of creation with her whole body in consideration of her community was inspiring. She spoke about growing up with an artist father and how that shaped her. I so often hear from artists whose parents had trepidations about a career in the arts or thought of it more as a hobby. It was interesting hearing how an artist parent can normalize the arts as a valid career path while also bringing awareness to the challenges of this path.
Carly also shared how the pandemic has impacted her as a teaching artist and her focus on her practice during this time. I loved the idea of naming our discomforts and communicating clearly as this world continues to shift. She discussed de-centering herself in the classroom and the constant work to check her biases.
We talked about seeing the behind-the-scenes of the gallery world, building community as an artist, and shifting scales.
Carly Terreson is an artist, storyteller, and educator. Carly earned her BFA from California College of the Arts in Oakland, CA in Painting and Community Arts. She also completed the Community Teaching Artist Certificate Program from the Department of Cultural Affairs and CalState Los Angeles.

#69: Tim Needles: STEAM Power
Tim spoke about infusing new technologies into his artwork as well as his teaching. He talked about how he’s always worked in a variety of media and how teaching really contributes to this tendency as he teaches everything from painting to photography to design, weaving in Augmented Reality (AR). He also shared a bit about writing STEAM Power and speaking with scientists who affirmed the need for art to be included when talking about STEM in education - art is not simply an addition, tacked onto STEM, but a critical part of the processes and systems used in real world scenarios.
Tim also talked about breaking into the art world and working outside it. He works as an artist and with his students to engage his local community and use art as a communication tool. His advice around working in a conservative community and bringing up issues of equity and empathy was so helpful. Being able and willing as an educator to share your vulnerabilities and truly be yourself can make such a difference.
Tim Needles is an artist, educator and author of STEAM Power: Infusing Art Into Your STEM Curriculum. He teaches art/media at Smithtown School District, is a TEDx Talk speaker, and his work has been featured on NPR, in the New York Times, Columbus Museum of Art, Norman Rockwell Museum, Alexandria Museum of Art, Katonah Museum of Art, and Cape Cod Museum of Art. He’s the recipient of ISTE’s Technology in Action Award and Creativity Award, NAEA’s Eastern Region Art Educator Award & AET Outstanding Teaching Award, and The Rauschenberg Power of Art Award. He’s a National Geographic Certified Teacher, PBS Digital Innovator, a NASA Solar System Ambassador, an ISTE Arts & Technology and STEM PLN leader, NAEA ArtEdTech interest Group leader, and Adobe Creative Educator and Education Leader Emeritus.
