Sculpture

I have to make a sculpture of a space. The idea is having a large clear bowl let a person sit on the edge overviewing new york city. Any ideas of what materials I can use for the person and for the city?

Career change

by Sarah

Dec 29, 2016

Hello,

I'm looking into a career change as an art school teacher. I'm looking for an online art education degree if anyone knows of any? If that's not possible. Would it be better to get a basic teaching degree then go into the field I want? I can only do online studies for now.

Thanks for any info

Miz Tee Sarah, In California, you can teach art with a Multiple Subject credential, if you want to teach Elementary. It helps to have a bachelor's degree in art. A lot depends on where you live. Good luck!

Landparent In NYS any elementary teacher can teach elementary art. But it's a perk that the principal gives out.

To Qualify in NYS to teach Jr High or HS art, you need 36 college credits of art. In other words, you had to major in art for your Bachelors Degree.

Every state is different. Call your state education dept.

Conflict with Para

by Cat

Nov 17, 2016

Hello! I am trying to find a diplomatic way to address one of the para's teaching students a different method than what I demonstrated and asked them to do. I have worked with many paras and they are invaluable in the classroom. But how do I establish some boundaries without offending?

Thanks!

Been there I have typed out instructions with photos and I do a demo and I go around and make sure it is being taught properly and half the time it is not. The problem is they are adults and they feel like they already know. I try to jokingly say oh that isn't on the instructions, my way is easier and more effective. Sometimes they say oh no I'm so sorry but ...See More
