These are the bulletin boards to the right and the left of my
chalkboard.
I've only wished for a whiteboard just recently when I started teaching
perspective... I've been going home covered in chalk dust after
demonstrating on the board!
Tomorrow
I am headed to my mentor's school to hang out and observe. That means
someone will be covering my classes for the first time in my teaching
career. At my school last year, I was out
once and art classes
were just canceled for the day. Needless to say, I am nervous. I have
tried to lay out all the details, procedures and materials, and hid all
the paint under the counter! I left three lessons for the sub to choose
from:
I came across this plan via Pinterest. I followed it back to
School Arts
and felt like with a little prep, this would be a quality substitute
lesson, especially since eighth grade has been working hard learning
about perspective. The students will plan a design to flow from panel to
panel of a cube template, color and assemble.
While over at the School Arts blog, I noticed that "Miss" at
a faithfal attempt
left a comment about her Black & White Doodle Design substitute
plan. I've always loved black and white doodles and really enjoy the
idea of creating a focal point, so this lesson was a natural fit.
Finally, a Jasper Johns "Numbers in Color" inspired name and birthday
design, completed using, a pattern, color scheme or theme.
I
left everything on the front table, except for the markers, crayons,
colored pencils that are in the cabinet behind this table (and I pray
are returned), adorned with plenty a sticky note for specific
directions.
