I need some help quickly. I have done several searches for a clay game I saw awhile back. It gives students a certain amount of clay and they have to build the tallest tower or something like that. I don't remember all the rules though and I wanted to use this as an enrichment activity after school TODAY! Any help would be appreciated!!!
Hello all, does anyone have any fun smartboard games for art? I am familiar with getty games, but would like to see what else is out there.

Greetings!

Have any of you encountered students who have superior drawing skills than your own? I feel I was trained well in college....to be a generalist.
I like drawing, but love mixed media, printmaking & sculpture. Needless to say, I have not prioritized figure drawing and drawing realistically. After about 12 years of teaching up through grade 8, I'm now teaching my first year at the high school level. I love it, but have felt intimidated & apprehensive. I know I can do this & help my advanced students be successful myself, and when I finish graduate school plan (soon), I can devote time to refining my drawing skills...especially figure drawing.
In the meantime, I would so appreciate it if anyone has some words of wisdom, encouragement or advice for me. I have had one of my best students ask to see my sketches. (Not sure if he's asking out of pure interest or is questioning me as an artist). I really don't have much to show for realistic drawings at all or am able to just whip some out a good realistic drawing in class.
At the risk of being put in my place by you all, my talented colleagues, I'm asking for your honesty & help. Am wondering how I deal with this student who has a fair question. I wish I could tell him to hang in here with me and trust my strengths are sufficient for now while I work on improving my weaknesses. Not sure I want to be that honest though!
Thanks for reading and your time & consideration.
I have never done this before, but I am thining about holding our clay project over the heads of 2 students who consistenly disrupt class. Philisophically speaking, how do you feel about this? Clearly I am conflicted if I am asking.... :)
Hi, I just came back from an interview and was asked to return on Friday to give a Demo. lesson to a 2nd grade Art class. The class is 40 minutes in length, and there are 18 students.
I was told the lesson can be anything I would like, and that any supplies I will need will be ready.

I really need to impress on this. Any WOW lessons you guys have done?
I did not ask, but perhaps I should have if the lesson needs to be started and finished within the 40 minute class. I would also imagine that by the time the students come in, see a new face in the class, I will have already lost a good 5-7 minutes.
Suggestions? Ideas? Advice?
Thanks for anything, Mia
