Subject: Re: First-year Art Teacher Author: Marianna [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 21:38:25 03/29/11 Tue In reply to: Sarah 's message, "First-year Art Teacher" on 10:18:10 10/14/06 Sat I suggest taking your art standards for your state and starting from there. This will give you an outline for what each grade should be exposed to throught the year. Then look for lessons the match them. As years go by, you will fine tune what you want to teach where. >Hello Everyone-- > >I am a first-year Art teacher, and I need your help. >I teach K-8 and I see each class once per week for 40 >minutes.

[> Subject: Re: First-year Art Teacher Author: Rcder41 [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 15:37:54 11/13/11 Sun Most school systems really don't seem to have a set art curriculum. what we do have however is state standards that expects our students to meet certain benchmarks at certain ages. Those then become a base for you to design your lessons from. I personally try to tie my lessons to a particular standard in addition to an historical artist which adds another dimension to the lesson. >Hello Everyone-- > >I am a first-year Art teacher, and I need your help. >I teach K-8 and I see each class once per week for 40 >minutes.
