All Year????

Do your students go to school all year around? Or do you get a summer break too?

Elementary Art

About five years ago, Arkansas passed a law requiring one hour of art per week for every student, grades one through six. Before that, some elementary schools had teachers designated specifically for art, but many did not. I think those students participated in art projects with their regular classroom teachers. What is the situation in Iceland for the visual arts in elementary schools? As an educator to elementary aged students, I'm interested.

American Art Educators?

I was curious if the recession is affecting budget cuts in the usa? I know that art departments there tend to be the first to go.... Do requirements by the school districts become constrictive in how free you can make your lesson plans during budget cuts? Just curious on what your creative license is.

comrads.

in a class here couple of weeks ago, we discussed how to get students to realize whether/why they like/are moved by a particular art work. it came up in the discussion that it was a good idea to picture it in your home. what´s your thought on this? 

do you think it serves the purpose to have students think this through their (parents) living room?
