you ask what medium we enjoy working with in the classroom. Well my answer to that would have to be that the medium to me is secondary. The main purpose is to open their minds. As an artist I come from an mixed media background and in short that could be explained that I as an artist find the appropriate medium that serves the idea or the concept while the painter (for example) one would have to work with an idea that serves the medium. I have never worked as a teacher (witch might explain how vague my answer is) but I expect that even if working with different mediums is very interesting, for me the goal would be to contribute to the students self discovery and growth as a creative human being.

Helga, I agree with your thoughts but I'm not a teacher yet either. There are so many methods that can be used in art to bring across a concept or idea. So it can be difficult to pick just one. I guess most people enjoy the medium that they are most successful at. For me that's 3D and painting.
