One of the hardest parts of teaching art to high schoolers is having kids finish projects at different times, at different levels. I got kids making amazing artwork and some taking pictures of a bunch stuff in the art room just to pass. In my freshman heavy classes, I have a lot of energy and not as much art making. There's always a few kids who finish everything way before everyone else and spend time studying. Today I tried a new activity, partnering kids who were ahead with others who were behind to share their work and connect. It went well. Still, I'm struggling to figure out how to get kids who are behind to catch up because tomorrow we are moving on to our 4th shoot and I still have a couple of kids who have not turned in their 1st one!
I had a good day. I covered Joe's 6th hour and had a great 7th hour. I ran off to hot yoga after school and had some left over spanish rice for dinner.
