      I believe that a professional art instructor uses a wide variety of resources to improve both their own personal skill/knowledge base and the abilities of their students. In order to accomplish this, an educator must maintain high ethical standards, expect to keep his or her resources current, and reflect upon his or her successes/failures realistically. Collected under this Mostep,

      I believe professional educators should consider the following assumptions when assessing both their student's progress and their own educational practices inside of the art classroom. Listed below are a wide variety of assessments that I conducted during my both art internship and state internship experiences.    1. Because the quality of teaching directly affects the quality of

      Ideally, teachers should directly involve students in the design of their art show brochures, invitations, posters, etc... But there are circumstances when not enough time is left in a teacher's schedule to assign projects like these to their students. I have included in this brief article four generic "art exhibit" graphics that teachers may use freely for their own student art shows.

      There are many more than four man-made "wonders"of the world and I have listed just a few below for teachers to research prior to this activity. These particular wonders are man made so they are appropriate for an art class. For this "icebreaker," the teacher will need to print out four distinct locations for each small group students participating in the

      My teen daughters have played this "icebreaker" game many times during youth activities at our church. The game requires an adult to accompany each small group in order to drive the teens to particular locations. It is also a game that lasts two to three hours, if done off campus. Every team must have a digital camera to play it. The teacher or youth leader supplies each team with a long

       Give every member of a small group ten objects. These objects could be paperclips, pencils, crayons etc... Place a large paper bag in the center of the group. During this game, one student is selected from a circle of friends to speak aloud random activities and events. These activities and or events may be normal or ridiculous. Each person sitting around the circle must admit truthfully

      In this game, students are introduced to one another and then each student will tell two facts about himself, plus one more piece of information that is not true. The student should act sincere and should not speak this information in any particular order. It is then up to his peers to determine which of the three statements is not a fact.

      Although the concept of this trading card icebreaker is relatively self-explanatory, the amount of success and effort involved with it is not. I've included it here because I feel it to be a uniquely ambitious idea for building community and interests around the arts. Young people love to collect things, as do some of their parents but, to collect something small that is original, without

      "Mingle Madness" is played a bit differently from "Sort of Fun" because the students are expected to participate more in the discussions. You might call this exercise an advanced form of "Sort of Fun." In this icebreaker exercise, the teacher calls out categories of discussion. These topics often include the kinds of interests that students might talk about during a party. In fact, the

      "Sort of Fun" children shift back and forth across the room in accordance to their preferences. This icebreaker gives them ample time to talk to one another and communicate what they share in common. The teacher calls out two ideas, things, places etc... and the students stand either to the left end or right end of the classroom according to their preferences. For example, the teacher may

      Divide your classroom up into small groups and give each of these small groups a photograph of a unique painting. Ask students to discuss, among their peers, what each person would do if they were to be "lost" inside of the painting. After ten minutes, have a large group discussion about each artwork.

      The teacher divides up his or her classroom into small groups of about four to five students and then gives each small group either a handful of objects or 3 to 4 pictures of objects. Then the instructor asks the students to improve their collection by finding additional pictures, collecting additional objects or by drawing additional suggestions.

This traditional kite theme can be used to introduce March Bible verses. Each child can make their own kites during this month to attach ribbons with written verses on them. The sample verses are:Love one another, as I have loved you. John 13:34Teach me thy way O Lord. Psalm 27:11For God so loved the world that he gave His only begotten Son. John 3:16The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear.
