Hello art teachers!

I’ll be assisting with the PAEA blog and social media, and also thought I’d take a minute to introduce myself. My name is Sue Liedke, and I teach art in Philly.

You can usually find me making art with very little kids, at an arts-based Headstart pre-Kindergarten in Queen Village. I love introducing them to art history, and connecting what they’ve learned to their hands-on artmaking lessons. Some of my favorite experiences lately have been bringing local artists into the studio to meet the kids and collaborate!

I also dip into museum education, and teach Family Arts Academy and Summer Art Camp at PAFA. It’s so awesome to make art with kids in the oldest art museum in the country!

Aside from teaching art, I’m very into traveling (and try to see lots of art in different cities and countries!), brainstorming Halloween costumes, and watching movies outside.

Feel free to check out some of the projects I do at my blog, PUPPYJAWNS, or connect with me on Instagram under the same name. I love sharing ideas with other art teachers, and find tons of inspiration from my social media pals! Looking forward to growing our professional community through this blog!
