Thank you, Kathy, for another helpful video! I am a first year art teacher and I get some great ideas from your channel. I also use the name labels in my art classroom. The way I do it is I greet every student at my door and put a sticky name tag (with their grade level and teacher) on their chest. It helps me learn their names (I have over 360 of them 😅) and it's a part of our "entering the art room" routine. I also trained them at the end of each class to peel it off and stick it to the back on their artwork. It saves my sanity!
Well Katie, Student input is a teacher's best way of learning what works and what doesn't work and if it had to go and be changed to something that works better for the students then make the change. So, you did the right thing. - Dwight
Thanks for the great tips! On the recommendation of another art teacher I ordered a few Carl-angle-5 pencil sharpeners. After a bit of instruction, my k-5 students are sharpening the colored pencils with ease.
Do you ever give tests? I want to assess whether they are retaining any information, like what are the primary and secondary colors, can they draw different types of lines, what elements of art have we studied so far? For younger grades that can't read very well, I would use pictures and ask questions orally, like a spelling test. I'm not sure I would count it for a grade. I want to see if they're learning anything, but I want them to think of art class as fun, and nothing is less fun than a test. Have you tried this before? When I had art in elementary school, I don't think we ever had tests. Then again, I don't remember ever being taught the elements of art. The teacher just had us do one project after another (this was in the late 90s, early 2000s). What do you think?
I have in the past but shy away from it bc it’s hard to create a very effective assessment. Students might not be able to read like you mentioned or understand the question yet know the question information. I do use exit tickets to try and seek out there take aways from the lesson but find looking at their art (and talking to them!) most helpful.
@@Managingthemess Thank you so much! I would not be surviving this year without your videos and advice. I think I've mentioned before, I only have 30 minutes and I'm on a cart, so it's usually not possible to give kids much individual attention. I find myself "dumbing down" projects that I know they can do if I was able to give the ones that need help more attention. I haven't even done any painting yet with some classes and we're a quarter of the way through the school year. I see your projects you do with kindergarteners and think my 4th and 5th graders couldn't even handle that.
I use crayola colored pencil sticks, as they don’t need to be sharpened. I generally only use watercolor for my middle school kiddos. The tempera is so much easier.
@@Managingthemess I’ve been able to get the pack of 24 at a pretty good price from school specialty with our school discount. The 24 pack has more neutral colors so good for skin tones, animals et. They will break in half if dropped but still work great. Makes colored pencil easy. I never used them either prior to getting these.
I put the petroleum jelly on the rim of the jar. The top of the jar where you would twist to close. With pre K they may still need a little help opening them but way easier than regular glue bottles.
Would you use tempera cakes for salt and glue painting? I'm having 3rd and 4th graders trace a preprinted leaf or pumpkin template with glue (one of the few things I use glue bottles for), then put salt on top and have them use paintbrushes to paint the salt. Most videos use watercolors, but I was just going to use food coloring in water. Do you think tempera cakes would be easier or one would be less messy?
I think you would have to test it out. Do you already have food coloring? That route can get expensive. You could even get good results by making your own watercolors (soaking dried out markers in a jar of water). I’d guess the tempera cakes would be too thick when applied by students to get a good salt effect.
@@Managingthemess Thank you! Have you had them add color to the salt right after putting the salt on the wet glue, or do you wait for it to dry then add the color? I'm trying to figure out how many class days it will take.

You absolutely changed my art room! I have adopted your ideas and supplies etc!
That is awesome!

@@Managingthemess What are exit tickets?
Questions students answer at the end of the project where they reflect on an show their learning
We use these too. Game changer!

Pre-k teacher here wondering how you use the petroleum jelly? I am in search of a better glue solution for my littles and this sounds great! Thanks!

Rubber cement?
In the bottles? They come empty and I filled them with Elmers liquid glue. I’m K-6 so we don’t use rubber cement.
