Hi! I'm in my seventh year of teaching elementary art and I'm *still* trying to figure it all out. Here you'll find my observations about teaching art, unit ideas and results, and any other life-bits that might coincide with teaching 500+ little kiddos.

Sometimes art makes us feel that way.
I love the honesty that this fourth grade student was willing to share on this questionnaire. I can totally relate to art making me feel "weird" (as it should sometimes) and details make me feel good, too :)
Haha. OK, what's the business with folk art and mislocated body parts?!
ReplyDeleteI showed them this piece, by Mary Proctor:

And now "folk art" = this one piece of art, which happens to include a foot pointing the wrong way, haha.
