Meeting with some classes twice weekly

by Cait

Aug 15, 2015

I teach elementary K-5. Our principal struggled with the master schedule and made a million revisions. there are 19 total classes that come to art, but I will be teaching an art class 26 times a week - meaning I see some groups twice. For example. We have 4 fifth grade classes; one of which has art twice. They will receive twice as many art lessons...See More

Sarah Cait,

I'm in a very similar predicament this year. I'm teaching art for the first year and it is part-time which means I only teach in the mornings (9:00-11:40 back to back for 40 minute sessions). I have 13 classes total-2 of each grade except for 3 kindergarten classes. My first grade, second grade, and one fourth grade class I will see ...See More

No sink in the art room

by CB

Jul 4, 2015

I've always had a sink in my art room, but now I'm moving to a room without water. Please give me your best procedures for coping when you have to carry it in in buckets. Thank you!

Resa I had the same situation last year... New school with no sink. K-8 school. I got very good at conserving water with painting, will use paper towels or even rags (I bought 20-something "shop/mechanic" rags from Target for $5-6) and have students squeeze out brushes using the rags first, then rinsing in water. I'll take them home and wash a...See More

NYC Visual Arts Cert Test

by Linda Wasson

Jun 28, 2015

Hi,

I am scheduled to take this test in July and am very nervous. Even tho I have an MFA, it is in Film and I'm worried about other art subjects on the test. It's so ironic because I've taken academic cert tests before in another state to be a sub and always do well - but this is my first time taking an arts-based test. There is so little ...See More

Bobby I took it Saturday and missed it by 4 points. What resources are you all using to study for the test?

Artome art show?

by NjArt

Jun 17, 2015

Do any of you get a stipend for putting on an art show?

Have any of you used a service like Artome to put on an art show rather than hanging it yourself? What was your thoughts/experience with it? Did you use them again after the first time?

Njart One thing that really annoys me is that the hs art teachers in my district DO get a stipend to do their art show, but I do not. They get a few hundred dollars to hang a show that consists of MAYBE 300 pieces. I hang about 1,000 and get NOTHING for it. Drives me nuts. Many of the teachers told me I should just not do it then... But it's the kids tha...See More

Artscape videos

by Robin

May 19, 2015

I have asked this before but got no response, so I thought I would try again. Does anyone have a copy of the old TVO series Artscape? I know, it's really old, the mid 80's, but I think my students would get a kick out of seeing them....the videos are old enough to be fashionably retro! Thanks!
