One thing I do is that I start one piece each quarter and work on it during
class when the students are involved in their work. I only get a few minutes
each class, which is why it takes me an entire quarter to finish a piece,
but at least they get to see that I practice what I preach.

Here's a different twist on the discussion.  I am one of 2 visual
art teachers at a K-8 visual and performing arts magnet school.
When we have our spring art festival where we showcase all of
our students' work, we often have a faculty art show as well.
Teachers know months in advance and if they choose, they can
submit work for display in the faculty show.  Parents and
students love to see the work.  Teachers are disappointed when
we don't hold the teacher show.  Many of our teachers have taken
up drawing, painting, piano, etc. personally since coming to our
school.  One of our secretaries does beautiful art quilts.  Maybe
we have a unique group of teachers, but it really is inspiring to
see the great talent of our regular classroom teachers.

Oregon's fall conferences have included instructor work.  It's always great to
see colleague's work.  I think some of us are artists then teachers and some of
us are teachers then artists....no right or wrong...just an observation that
also plays into a comfort level of exhibiting.  Sometimes it is hard to make
time for our own artistic endeavors, but I think it's important.
I think it is important for us to work as artists and for students to see
that....even if you're not showing your work "professionally".  My work tends to
be personal/for me/cathartic.  Sometimes I'll just prop a work up in the room
(finished or not) and wait.  The comments and questions come and it's exciting
when I watch them make that connection seeing me as an artist as well as
teacher.  Or when they know I'm participating in the Altered Book Round Robin
and really want to see each one that comes and goes!
oh, we also hold a district art show in the spring and include a staff exhibit. 
It is not limited to art educators, it is open to any district staff (not just
teachers). It gives everyone a chance to show their work and art's value in
their lives.....really important for the kids and the community to see.  We have
everything from quilts, to jewelry, to container cacti gardens, to hand tied
fishing flies!!  To encourage participation, I have even held an after school
ceramics session for interested folks to create something to show, but you could
do that with any media!
sorry, guess I got a little wound up....teacher's start back tomorrow, the kids
next week and I'm really excited.......creatively, Linda in Oregon

I know how you feel.
I have a couple of suggestions....
1. I have a chart in the room that has three noise levels.
Silence
Quiet Table talk
Talking to group or other tables
It is my experience that most kids need to have some quiet time to
concentrate. So they welcome the control of the noise level chart. I explain
that when
they walk into the room and when I am giving instructions the level is set at
Silence. (They are always aloud to raise their hand to ask a question.) I
actually assign students to move the arrow when I change the levels. This gives
them some participation. Then once I explain the project we decide what level
this project requires to have THEM working at their very best. This gives them
choices.

2. I also assign "table talker monitors," This really only works for K-6 or
so. Each day once person at each table is the monitor and gets to be in charge
of asking students at their table to quiet down. They let me know if someone
is not cooperating.
This is key...when I introduce the noise level chart and monitors we decide
together as a class what the consequences will be if the level is not followed.
Sick to the consequences every time they are broken, be consistent.

Sometimes I find that students who don't understand the project or who are
fresh out ideas talk a lot. It's usually a signal that I need to intervene.

Also If I have a student that is really talkative I give them time at the end
of class to talk about their work to the class.

When all else fails, I move their seats away from the tables and have them do
a silent activity like coping information on papar about an artist from a
book. If they can do that for 15 minutes then they can move back to the table.
They HATE this!

Hope this helps!
Jennifer

Hi, it's Meghan again. Once again, I am a first year teacher at a middle school.
I have a few questions...
1. My district is very small, about 1,000 students. They are mostly lower middle
class to middle class. I am only part time, however, we NEED a full-time art
teacher as my class sizes are at 30 and above!! Our room is incredibly small.
I've talked to the principal and she tells me there is NO Money. Any
suggestions??
2. What do you do w/ the student who asks so many questions or constantly needs
reassurance? With these big class sizes, this can be very frusterating. They
always want to know, is this good? How do I do this? I usually make them show me
a decent attempt before I help. But I'm exhausted!!

Dear Art Educators,

I have added this lesson from Kim Sheek to the High School Lessons on
IAD. Tribal Self Portrait (change the title if you feel it will
offend):
http://www.princetonol.com/groups/iad/lessons/high/Kim-Portrait.htm

Kim teaches in a mixed cultural heritage school and no one was
offended by this lesson. She teaches Native Americans, African
Americans, Hispanic.....etc.

A Non-objective design project I do for drawing II
class as a review from Art I starts with 5 blind
contour drawings on the same paper.  Draw the contour
drawings lightly with a pencil turning the paper
between drawings and using the entire picture plane.
When the contour drawings are complete, decide which
lines to keep and which to get rid of to create a
pleasing design.  The lines you are keeping get traced
with a sharpie then erase the other lines.  Select a
color scheme and paint the shapes flat with gouche.
When the gouche is dry enhance lines and add depth
with hatching, cross-hatching or stippling.

Hi,

I posted a few questions a few weeks ago and got a couple of responses
(Thanks to those folks.) But I'm trying again with less questions :)

I'm starting an afterschool art club this year (I'm a K - 5 teacher)
and was wondering how people have decided which kids get to participate...

Have you picked out kids based on your prior knowledge, have you done
a first come first serve?

I was thinking I'd split the year into two groups so I could serve
twice as many kids...

I greatly appreciate any input - thanks. And if you have any wisdom
around release forms for after school, etc. that'd be great too.

Thanks, Becca (second year art teacher in colorado)

Hi Meghan,

Congrats on your first year!  I hope it's a wonderful
one!

To the answer about the student with a lot of
questions...do you have specific requirements listed
for the projects anywhere?  You could always have this
kind of checklist for this student so that he/she can
check his/her own work and then once he/she has gone
through the list, then could ask a question.  (Eg.
Did I use two primary colors?  Did I make a pattern?
...pertaining to the lesson)

Just an idea...hope it helps!

Seems good if interested kids simply ³sign up²...when the sheet is full

Hello-
I just wanted to respond about teachers showing their artwork.  At my school, we
did a faculty art show of all the art teachers in the district.  It was set up
at our Fine Arts Center where theater productions and things take place.  It was
really cool, because it showed the talent of each educator and their style and
focus.  And I think the public and students loved being able to see our work for
once.   The brochure had a brief history/background on each of us.  And then, my
sister, who works in another district, brought the idea to her faculty members
in the art dept. at her site, and they liked the idea too. So she worked all
summer long to organize a teacher exihibit in her district's main office
building.  It was a huge success...and the district office/superintendent loved
it so much, they've asked to keep the exhibit up for a month or two longer!! :-)
And local newspaper reporters were there too...so it was printed in a couple
newspapers around the area.  Very cool.  All-in-all, I think it's a great
idea!!!

Julie and I did one a few pieces last year, the kids responded well,
they love it when you ask them how you can improve something or do mini
critiques on it.  I really like doing it because I can demo on my art
not my students art!

Hello all - I'm in the market for an art timeline to post in my classroom -
which of the many advertised in catalogs do you prefer?  Thanks,  SandyJ


[Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

I happen to prefer Dick Blick or Sax.  They seem to have the most
comprehensive catalogs.  Crystal Arts is another catalog I use to
purchase art videos and art history based materials.

Hope this helps.

Dear Art Education Members,

Susie sent her lesson file to me for Laminated Paper Jewelry. The file
is in the Lesson Plan folder in the Files section on Art Education
list site.
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/art_education/
If you have coping saws, you can laminate several sheets together -
then saw out your shape when glue is dry. Susie cut the shapes all out
- then laminated them together.

A local teacher did this on a much larger scale. Her students made
sculptures from laminated paper. It is a great way to use up old paper
that is starting to fade. It doesn't matter so much if the paper
maintains it's intensity for the sculptures.
The sculptures were free form shapes - so they must have cut them out
with a scroll saw, jig saw or coping saw.

Thanks for sharing Susie.

Once we get up over 80% of server space for the list, I will start to
remove older files. Make sure you save ones that interest you. I will
make a list announcement before I delete anything.

Regards,

Judy Decker

Dear Art Educators,

Carol posted to ArtsEducators list asking what we can do for hurricane victims.
Ellen S. posted this to Getty list (email had been sent to her)

....the number one need right now is monetary donations, the secondary
need is volunteers for certain organizations:

1. American Red Cross- www.redcross.org <http://www.redcross.org>
Donate at <https://www.redcross.org/donate/donation-form.asp> or call 1-800
HELP-NOW. You may also donate by mail at:

American Red Cross
P.O. Box 37243
Washington, D.C. 20013

You need to specify on the check memo that the money is for hurricane relief.

Contact your local chapter to see what is else is needed. To find your local
chapter follow this link- <http://www.redcross.org/where/where.html>
The Louisville, KY chapter (for those that live in and around here) is
desperately in need of volunteers that are 18 years or older to take phone
calls. They are being slammed with phone calls as they are all the call
center for 135+ local chapters. Phone work would include taking donations
and sending Red Cross Workers to the appropriate area. You can contact
Louisville's volunteer office at (502) 561-3601
Consider arranging a blood drive. Blood collected goes into a national
database, and while it is not specifically routed for hurricane victims,
some of it will end up there. Contact your local chapter for more
information about hosting a blood drive. For the Louisville blood services,
contact (502) 540-7000. You may also visit the following link to get more
information about your local chapter's blood collection-
http://www.redcross.org/where/chapts.asp#bloodregions
<http://www.redcross.org/where/chapts.asp>
The American Red Cross does not collect supplies for the relief effort, they
are only collecting money.

2. Salvation Army- <http://www.salvationarmyusa.org/>
Donate at
<https://secure1.salvationarmy.org/donations.nsf/donate?openform&projectid=U
SN-hurricane05> or call 1-800-SAL-ARMY or mail a check to:

Salvation Army
PO BOX 4857
JACKSON, MS 39296-4857.

You need to specify on the check memo that the money is for hurricane relief

At this point, the salvation army has not yet compiled a list of what the
needs will be for the hurricane, so it is only accepting monetary donations
at this point. It will, at some point accept items and this list will be
posted in the weeks to come on their website. If you, or someone you know
works for a corporation, they are accepting mass donations of "in-kind"
items, dial 1-888-363-2769 to help.
If you are interested in serving as a volunteer for the Salvation Army fill
out the online form at
<https://www.saussw.org/crd/dsrreg.nsf/registrationw?OpenForm> or call them
at 1-800-SAL-ARMY. The Louisville Chapter for the salvation army can be
called at (502) 583-5391.

3. Kiwanis International Foundation- <http://kif.kiwanis.org/kif/>

Donate at <https://ssl.kiwanis.org/ssl/kif/disaster.asp> or call
1-800-KIWANIS Ext. 156 or mail a check to:

Kiwanis International Foundation Disaster Relief Fund,
3636 Woodview Trace,
Indianapolis, Indiana, USA 46268

Mark in the memo that the money is for hurricane relief.

4. Please remember that during this time their may be con artists
impersonating charities and attempting to get your money. It is recommended
that you never give your credit card number out over the phone to somebody
that dialed you. Request written information about the charity before giving
to it. I would highly recommend visiting <http://www.charitynavigator.org/>
if you have any questions about a charity. All major charities are on their
website and have been analyzed to determine what percentage of your money
goes to the actual cause. They can also provide information on which
charities are the best for a particular donation type, i.e.. disaster
relief.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks Carol, I am certain some of our list members' schools and
communities were affected. If I hear from any of them directly, I will
let you know. I sent email to Grace Hall - knowing that she would not
be able to read it. She is further north of area hardest hit (she is
in St Tammany Parish, Louisiana) - but may be without electricity and
phone lines.

Judy Decker

Dear Art Educators,

Brenda Robson sent me a lesson idea for Sculpey. I have added it to
the Ceramics/New Clay Ideas page (scroll down):
http://www.princetonol.com/groups/iad/Files/ceramics.htm

Here is a photo of the idea:

If you have ceramics/new clay ideas send them my way and I will add them.

I say most definitely! An active artist augments the program in a way
nothing else can. The students (esp upper grades) have much more respect
and we need that. The hard part is finding time to be productive, at
least it is for me. I am planning to participate in a competition this
fall and will participate in the Oklahoma Art Educators Exhibit next
spring.

Go for it!

Greetings Art Educators,

I don't think I told you folks about this new lesson file from
Elizabeth Adams Marks.
Handmade Paper from Plants:
http://www.princetonol.com/groups/iad/lessons/middle/Elizabeth-paper.htm
She lists several good resources.

Hope this sparks some paper making in your classes.

I was talking with the art teachers in my district and some of them
are using art fundraisers to raise extra funds for the art program.
My principal wants me to find the best program.  I have heard of art
to remember, artsonia and the square one.  Are their some programs
better than others?  What is your opinions on using this as a tool to
raise funds?

Of course if there is something you use that you love, please share :)

Thanks so much,
Denise

Square One is great...EVERY kid gets a free magnet with their art on it...even
if they don't purchase any other items.

I think of myself as an artist first, educated in abilities and facilities
to teach/instruct.  I took a twelve year break from teaching to paint
fulltime and develop my career and it was my wife's illness that brought me
to look back toward the classroom.

Painting (or art making) is a means of deeper seeing...and from the personal
experience of the habit of deeper seeing connected to a need to communicate
visually, expressing creatively comes a natural passion at hand to pass
along contagiously to students.

For the past five years I've been planning for an exhibition I am taking
part in in New York's National Arts Building with my professional
association members of NAPPAP, (National Academy of Professional Plein Air
Painters), September 22nd thru October 2nd.

There is a great deal involved to share with students.  The association's
members each contributing a good chunk of money to advertise in American Art
Review, Southwest Art magazine...a blurb in Plein Air magazine.  Online
preview exhibitions.  Mailings and so forth.  All the time an opportunity to
bring kids along for the ride.

Last year thru a grant, I purchase a dozen plein air paint boxes, tripods
and oil paint...and we now are building the interest of students that would
like themselves the challenge of painting on location.

I encourage all art teachers to create, exhibit..get filled with passion and
like a full glass on the move spilling over onto all that are nearby.

A chance for students to understand the dreams and aspirations, the hopes
and the drive of an artist first hand.  To experience a rejection letter for
a show...or the exhilaration of acceptance.  It most definitely raises the
confidence level of students that you have something viable and important to
pass on to them, and seeing the excitement in you demonstrated brings I
think more integrity to the importance of making art in one's life.  We are
living history...a bridge to the past, the future, the now.

At the moment is preparations to send three pieces out to New York.  The
building of shipping crates, protective design of framing and work.  Its
exciting stuff...for me and the kids.

Dick Blick has quality products, but one of my schools no longer allows me to
order from them due to difficulties and complications with shipments.  It took a
long time to get everything, and it was divided into so many boxes.  My
secretary said that we still were missing one item, but she finally ended up
marking it received because the district office kept bothering her to close the
purchase.

~  Kathleen

I happen to prefer Dick Blick or Sax.
