Miss Art of Teaching

Yesterday, I cleaned out a few things from my house including a 'deer' head from TYPO. I purchased the small resin stag head around two years ago. I asked the friendly GA to nail it on the wall for me.  I'm not sure if I like the 'DONUT GIVE UP' words on the bottom. I've been letting students decorate my classroom as a 'reward'. Today, I asked three of the best students to help spray paint my $5 second hand drawer. I added some labels to the drawers to hide away the old sticker labels behind. Not the best colour combinations but I am running out of nice colour sprays. Above: Before photo

I really enjoy my classes this year. I've been enjoying my classes ever since being a full-time Visual Arts teacher. I have experience in teaching TAS (Technological Applied Studies) subjects but have always had a soft spot for Art. Above: Year 9/10 students have been working on developing their artworks with a focus on 'Environmental Issues'.  Above: I find the students are trying more and willing to experiment. Perhaps my 'Donut Give Up!' sign is working :P Above: I started using my classroom management signs today. I am definitely the crazy art teacher! Above: seems like a few teachers are interested :) I am also thinking of making my own signs in the future after my purchase one dies from wear and tear.
