I just finished two separate weeks of teaching non art teachers grades k-12 how to incorperate quality art education into their classroom. It was challenging and fun. They worked their tails off, especially since the last week was during that heat wave we had here in Portland. I taught them about the elements of art, the principals of design and the Oregon state benchmarks for Art. I gave them a good dose of art history as well as lots of tips on materials. They had to do lesson plans too. But they also got to create a lot if cool projects and play with art materials. All in one week's time. The class was through a program called TINT or The Innovative Northwest Teacher, which gives credit through PSU. I'll be teaching a class on Observational Drawing this fall on Wednesday nights.
