(4.) Media Art Teacher: artismessy.org

paper relief, by Petra

While the above work isn't exactly new media, I thought it was too awesome to resist. This instructor (name is unknown!) is an art teacher is Shanghai, China and an alum of the Art Education program at NYU Steinhardt. Her previous background was in graphic design, and she's been keeping a blog of her interests, student work, and other miscellany while teaching. Currently, she teaches a graphic design class, Art 2, and yearbook for high school students. 

Not only does she teach media art, she also has created different websites for each class to display their work on the web, inform them of their assignments, and include other links that might be useful for their projects - for graphic design for example, she has included free font sources, additional add-ons for photoshop and illustrator, as well as other online resources to help out her class. 

On her sites, you can see the different requirements for projects, objectives, and vocabulary. It's a great resource for us teachers and students alike.
