I understand the push towards literacy, and I have certainly stepped up my game, but I am concerned that she is less interested in the artmaking now.
She wants me to stop every ten minutes or so to 'ask essential questions to ensure accountable talk.' At this rate, we will never get our projects done!
I think students should be able to chill a little bit and enjoy their artwork. There is nothing wrong with them chatting for a little bit as they work.
It's getting very frustrating. Is there anyone else out there experiencing the same kinds of things? Any thoughts?

I teach k-5 art at a school that will be celebrating its 75th anniversary this coming school year. I'm thinking of lessons based on Art Deco which was the style back then in the 1940s. I'm seeking ideas not only for art lessons, but creative bulletin board & eye catching subject matter based around this theme. Thanks!
How do you organize and store all the poster board, large sized drawing and construction paper in your room so that it is easily accessible for use, yet looks neat all year long? Can you post pictures?
Lora Armbruster has been painting for over 70 years and the experience she brings to learning the tips on how to paint is both exciting and rewarding! Should you want to get the best instruction in painting realistically, then visit [link removed].
I am taking my art praxis in a week. I've been looking online for the best things to study and how to prepare myself. Any this would be greatly appreciated.
In searching this board I found old links that are expired so anything you guys can give me would be great. I am reading the test in PA if that makes any difference.
