How should I share student artwork or my teaching work on my artist social media account?

Absolutely share it—this type of content often generates significant engagement. Many people don’t know you’re an art educator, and revealing this side of your life humanizes you and broadens your appeal. Create a video where you explain that you teach art and showcase your students’ work (like fifth-graders’ or kindergarteners’ projects). This behind-the-scenes peek into your teaching life will likely become one of your most popular videos. It shows another dimension of who you are, helps people connect with you personally, and demonstrates your expertise and passion for art. Don’t silo your professional artist identity from your educator identity—let them complement each other.
