Has any one ever done airbrushing in the classroom? I am teaching a small advanced class and they are very interested in airbrushing but before I purchase the very expensive equipment I was looking for some guidance.
I know there are some safety issues associated with airbrushing (the compressor and inhaling paint particles).
If anyone has done airbrushing in the classroom, I'd really love to pick your brain!

I would add pink, yellow-green, and red-violet, as these are easiest to recognize I think. If you add them though then I might drop my percent to 85% Just my thoughts.

I am a NY art teacher and recently the admin in my school has started other strange art classes ran by various teaher's to satisfy the art requirement to graduate. One such class is a computer music class taught by the Technolgy teacher. She is not a licensed art teacher and my days were cut to only 3 a week. Is this even legal?
I am pretty sure that cannot count toward their art credit unless taught by a certified art teacher (or music teacher). In my district we have been fighting the fact that they (admin)are allowing Tech teachers to also teach courses for their art requirement. Sorry to tell you we are NOT winning this battle.

I have an assignment for my Art in Ed. Class due by monday but I live in mega~rural Oklahoma & can't find a teacher to pose questions to. It will take you less than 5 minutes but you will need to verify you're a real teacher. Please let me know if you can help

Do any of you have a situation where the existence of your classes or visual arts program in general is threatened by other electives offered at your school that are more popular?

You could always use the air-dried clay but I think it costs more and I'm not sure it has all the properties of earth clay. I would ask the principal if you could ask the teacher at another school if he or she would fire your students' work for you, or if you could take them to a commercial pottery place. It seems like it would be very frustrating to teach the principles of clay work without the students ever seeing the final product, especially juniors and seniors. The final product is such a chemical change that it hardly seems worth the point to throw or slab make pots that will never be fired.
Or, as the other poster said, just make it a general 3-D class using non-clay sculpture media.

SHWow! What a fantastic website, I can't believe I've never heard of it before. I teach in NYC and can't wait to look through all of the different sections on your site.
I want to come up with a lesson plan that allows students to create a "mock" wall mural where they do not paint directly onto the wall, but on something large like sheetrock or cardboard. . . I'm trying to think of the best way and what to use. Thanks!

I've done tape art murals on the walls. We can create something impressive in a rather short period of time and the custodians don't get upset because it just peels off with no residue when done! Painter's tape works well and comes in lots of colors - I usually just use all blue or black.
I have done many, many murals with kids which were not directly on the wall, but put up after the fact. I always used 4' X 4' masonite. I sand and gesso each panel. It is relatively easy to move around. When they are done, I varnish them with acrylic varnish. Then, I get help installing them where they are to be displayed. I drill a few holes on the edges and corners. This way it is easy to screw them onto any wall with ease.
I would discuss the purchase of a Weebly Education site with your Administrator. The options are amazing. I'm phasing mine out ... and have actually made a mess of it, since it is close to expiration, but I really loved it.... and no worry about photo file sizes. Students get their own free website too, if you want. I purchased the domain name and the education "pro" site for two years. I think it was about $150 total. Assignment forms, blog options, ... You can check out my site (soon to be gone...) If your administrator is committed to integration of technology and good community relations, you can easily make your case. mrudigipix.com
