  1. Preparing Teaching Environments for Art Education When considering the many options available for arranging a classroom, three overarching concepts should be considered...

  2. A reasonable relationship exists between the characteristics of the environment and the behaviors of the inhabitants. • Although the physical setting does not teach, it does tend to facilitate certain behaviors and hinder others.

  3. The environment must be organized to function in unison with the teaching methods being used. No single room layout is ideal for all phases of an art experience. • The art room should be expected to change several times during a lesson in response to the shifting directions of student work and the progress of the lesson.

  4. Research continues on the art classroom practices of teachers who have been described by their colleagues as being effective instructors; who include attention to physical environmental variables, including:

  5. Dividing the room into distinct zones or areas that are designated for specific functions or activities. • Perceiving the art classroom as a flexible setting that can be tailored to best suit the behavioral and participatory requirements of the lesson: Expressive (Studio) Responsive (Presentation, Lecture)

  6. Developing procedures that allow equipment that must be stored to be easily obtained and replaced. • Planning spatial arrangements to facilitate easy movement from one area in the room to another. The intent is to minimize crowding and congestion in high traffic areas.

  7. Art Room Design What you need to know...

  8. Consider... • General art room vs. specific studios • School size • Class size • Number of classes • Specialized studios: type and design • Storage areas • Unlocked • Locked • Student work • Supplies • Equipment • Accessories

  9. Provisions for showing images: • Storage • Blinds • Blackout curtains • Electric outlets • Ventilation • Display • Media area • Computer/Digital area • Instructor area • Sinks • Traps • “In-the-round

  10. White board / Smart board • Lights • Equipment • Provisions for all types of learners • Furniture

  11. Ordering Supplies Lisa - Congrats on your new job! I am so excited about mine but also really nervous! I'd love to share some ideas with you as well:) I just turned in my supply order today. It was pretty bigbecause the Art program is brand new this year (Art has been taught in the general classrooms for the last 20 years) and my room is completely empty save the tables, stools and my desk and chair. I am extremely lucky that there was a generous start up budget that allowed me to buy some big items that you buy once and they last forever, such as a large drying rack with wheels and a high quality paper cutter. Most of the items on my listare things that I used frequently during my student teaching but I also got some really neat stuff that I haven't had the opportunity to teach yet (like stuff for printmaking). Here is my list:

Tempera paint • Watercolors • Camel Hair brushes • White Bristle brushes • Plastic 6-Well Muffin Pans (for paint) • Drawing Paper (9x12 and 12x18 in both 60lb and 80lb) • Newsprint • Construction Paper • Scratch-art supplies • Marker Classpack • Crayon Classpack • Colored Pencil Classpack • Cray-Pas Classpack
