I strive to become an art teacher. Art is one of the only subjects where children are allowed to get messy and be creative, making art enjoyable for most students. Paint, glitter, and glue will certainly help my students create masterpieces, but I hope that the creative process will not distract from learning in depth about famous artists, techniques, and culture.
I hope to learn how to make my art classroom a successful environment by
learning about classroom management and motivational skills in Education Psychology.
I did some research online and came across a YouTube video that shows an art teacher explaining the classroom rules in a very creative way. I hope to use techniques like this, and to learn more strategies in class.
Art Room Rules
Hey Paige! I loved the way that teacher did the rules for her classroom. The visuals make it easier for the students to see what is expected of them instead of just words written on a poster. I hope I can include aspects of art in my classroom one day. I think teachers too often over look the importance of visuals in class, and this can be especially helpful for students with learning disabilities who have trouble with language processing and reading. I look forward to reading more of your posts and for the semester ahead!
