Teaching thought

I've been thinking a lot lately. Being around my new mentor teacher at the middle school...
(Oh, by the way... I'm at a middle school now... I haven't updated in a while) 
But for everyone that wants to be a teacher or if you are a person that wants to help people in general, please think about why you are doing it. 
Now more than ever, I don't think that it's enough to love your subject area with a passion. You have to want to help others understand your passion. 


So I'm vowing:
~ I will try my best to help all the students I can. 
~ I will always have high expectations for all my students.
~ giving up on a student really isn't an option. 
~ I will try my best to be patient with the students who need extra extra extra time. 
~ I will foster a community of students.
~ I will try my best to keep my students in my classroom (even when they are being a pain. because those are the students who need it the most.)
~I will choose my battles wisely.
~I WILL BE AN ART TEACHER 
especially when people say I won't have a job. 

Teaching day ???

I haven't been updating in a while. 
Well. It's been a while since we started a new project. Plus spring break. 
I hope everyone had a nice relaxing spring break :)

Drawing class' current project is inspired by Ben Heines Camera Vs. Pencil photographs. 
Instead of using a camera, students used oil pastels. 
1. They first took a photograph and transfered it by using a grid technique. 
2. Then use oil pastels to color their sketch. 
3. After that's finished take a piece of white paper and alter the image. 


My image was of a park near my aunty's house in Mukilteo. There was an old dude showing off his cool kite windmills. So I altered the walkway with a panda that dug all the way from China!
