WELCOME BACK!!! Let's Make Art!!!
I had a great summer playing with my girls at the beach, seeing friends and family, making art, hiking, and eating ice cream! I spent the last few weeks of summer taking an incredible class through The Art of Ed. This group is amazing, and offers online professional development classes geared just for art teachers.
I took the "Managing the Art Room" course, and am thrilled I took it right before the start of school. The course gave me so many great ideas and insights on how to better manage a busy art room. I created this new Classroom Management Plan, which is working well so far.
I also finished organizing my supplies, and put up a bunch of new visual aides to help brighten the space. My goal is to create a unique space where the artists are comfortable, inspired, and excited to create.
I finished color coding everything which I hope will make
getting supplies and clean up a lot more efficient.
These are some of the new posters I created to help with clean up.
I had fun creating a scavenger hunt for art supplies along
with a Prezi about rules, expectations, etc. for the first day of classes.
This year, I am starting with a unit on Van Gogh.
I saw this great idea on pinterest to create an artist facebook bulletin board.
It has been a great way to grab students' attention, and I love how it creates such an easy
platform to share a lot of background information about an artist.
