So I went in today to check out my room, yes i have a whole room to teach in. Not kidding. No one kicking me out to do awards ceremonies, no one sending me to the lunch room to sit on the dirty floor and work, just me, my room and the teacher next door yelling at her crazies!
OKay back to the point, time comes to check out the supplies they already have so I know what I can actually do with these kids.
We have: buckets of markers (which i hate), loads construction paper (which is only good for making crappy Valentines), some crayons (all broken of course....really have you ever seen a crayon last more then a minute out of the box as a whole crayon?! I'm not sure I have), watercolor paint (the kind your parent buys you as a 2 year old, i think Monet actually started with Crayola watercolors), a few boxes of pastels (those actually will be nice to have), tiny pots of acrylic paint (i think used by the Borrowers to paint their walls), and random who's who of the art supply world.
So it's Thursday night and I have until Monday at 11:40 to come up with a plan for the week. something to teach these 12 kids, who may or may not know what pastels are...
I have a plan I just need to figure out how it will all fit together....got to make my brain function like real person now. Awwcrap!
Question:
what was your favorite project in High school (or middle school...actually any school) art class?
Calligraphy.
