I went to Bitburg middle school today!!! In the beginning, the fifth grade art class was not as pumped as I was, but I think I got them closer to my level by the time the bell rang. I pulled out all the watercolors and the markers, we tested and experimented with different materials on plain old paper. I got them to open up a little with me, and with each other. Garrison, the art teacher, has given me the opportunity to create the curriculum, or ideas for the projects for the rest of the class. He is an English teacher and isn’t very confident when it comes to art, so that’s where I came in. Its such a blast to be around those kids and show them the way paint thinks. I can’t wait until Thursday when I get to teach!!!! Ive created a sketchbook out of hard paper, drawing paper and ribbon, and cut out all the materials so the kids can all make their own in class. I’m filling in the whole sketchbook with directions for Garrison and different fun things he can do with the kids. I hope to be able do this for my own class eventually. So much fun!
