What's an art teacher to do?
Display case #1:
Technology Museum, "How did we survive before smart phones?"
I remember ALL of these.
I had a blast writing the notes. They are kinda funny.
Display cases 2 and 3: info about the Specials Team:
Meet Prudence, ANOTHER fairy who has moved in. A student left her a crocheted scarf. Because it is Fall.
On all bulletin boards: Art prints with open ended, guiding questions.
What happened next?
What do you wonder?
What is the main idea?
What would you change? etc..
I pulled these from LA curriculum (even though they are standard art critique questions...yeah, I know...)
This gives the classroom teachers talking points during bathroom breaks and hallway transitions, and gives visitors something beautiful to look and think about.
What a great way to compensate for the arrival and presentation of those first of the year art projects. I really enjoyed seeing your glass cases during the tech workshop. How I wish we had even one in our school!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I hate empty hallways :) schools should not look like institutions.
