You and Truffle Anne have detention this week. :angry: Bring your own Q-Tips.
That's just what not being a goody-two shoes suckup ALWAYS got me. ;-)
P.S. You're the meanest teacher I ever knew (besides Mrs. Robin).

7-12th grade, but most of the older kids are already pretty well set for projects. My Intro and Art 1 classes are 7-9th grade.What ages are the children?

I was the meanest teacher at my school by Christmas, and I didn't start until January.![]()
Truffle Anne! I'm being serious! This is my career we're talking about! :nono1:
Actually, that was one of the other suggestions the departing teacher gave me. She said (and I quote) "Go buy a bazillion Q-tips and they'll be tied up for the rest of the year!"
Thanks, Kase--you're always helpful!
I just taught a series on modernist artists. The kids especially liked learning about Paul Klee and Sonia Delaunay. Would you like for me to send you some curriculum? I may not be able to get to together until Friday or Saturday, but PM me if you're interested and I can also send you some stuff.
I also have lessons I've developed/taught on Illuminated Manuscripts (Book of Kells), Charles Burchfield, Picasso/Braque, Egypt, etc. All can be adapted to either media. Oil pastel or colored pencil would definitely be easiest with the cleanup. They also tend to really enjoy the processes of blending and layering. Colored Pencil is also good because they tend to really become absorbed in the detail work.
I studied art in college, and I loved working in collage. I have never been great at illustration, so collage was a perfect medium for me. (Later I found that graphic design was another way one can be creative without being a strong illustrator.) If you haven't already thought of collage, I hope this inspires you. The kids can work on the pieces with so many different materials- with fabric, paint, found materials, junk, photographs, plastics, I once used a candlewax and made some really cool textures... it takes away a blank canvas and creates a third dimension---
Good luck. What a fun job!
