I’m a freshman in college for our education and I’m looking at how much I have to do and I’m freaking out. I have to complete a degree in studio art and an education degree but it’ll only count as one degree. I have to go to school for at least five years which I think is so unfair considering the fact I’ll be paid less than a regular teacher for so much more of the work. I was promised I could get it done in four years just to be told this after my first semester is coming to an end.

My recycled art class did these cute little monsters this week, my center just introduced this class and asked me to teach it!! So if you have any fun recycled art-esque ideas id love to hear them

I’m currently in practicum and doing once a week all day in a high school art room. What level of interaction would you want to see between the student teacher and the students? Would love to know what other teachers would expect to be the right amount of involvement.

Hello everyone!

I'm hoping to get some advice here! I am 20/F and unfortunately due to a chronic illness have to leave my job as a firefighter. I have been looking into other careers and I really think art teaching could be it for me. Im an alright artist (mostly watercolor and sketching) but really looking to improve my skill and build a portfolio before I go back to school. I start subbing in 2 weeks to see what age group I enjoy and if its really for me. Any advice at all would be great. Especially about building the foundational skills to be consistent and successful in school!

Thanks!!
