I have a new article in Arts & Activities magazine this month! I am very excited. I encourage you to submit articles to magazines if you have ideas you’d like to share. It is very rewarding to see your words in print! Arts & Activities and School Arts magazines are always looking for new articles.

Did you have to get permission from students to use their artwork in the publication? One of my goals is to submit to a publication this year and want to learn more about logistics.
Thanks!

Yes you do! I have all my students sign a generic form for publishing artwork for my blog, school websites, Artsonia, educational presentations and printed publications. I have only had a handful of families opt out. I am very “proactive” at getting them to sign (reminding them multiple times, giving them multiple forms if necessary). That way, when I go to write an article I can just pull out those forms I already have gotten signed (and they are good for the student’s entire career at our school, so I only have to have the parents sign once.) Once or twice I have written the article, then had parents sign permission slips, but then their child’s artwork wasn’t selected to be published by the editor and that was awkward and I felt bad, so I now I don’t tell the families until it is actually published.
