Moving to a new school, I had to rethink how I approach things for the art show. The space is extremely different than my previous school. The hallways have a ton of murals they had professionally made (I was not willing to put tape/adhesive on them!!) The cafeteria also has several murals, and a wall of windows. I decided if I attached the art to butcher paper that I could cover the windows. Not an ideal situation, but you work with what you have!! Our school theme was growing, and I ran with that for several lessons in each grade level. The students were able to select their best work from those lessons. If you have followed me for awhile, you will notice this looks very different!! The previous two years there was a sub (non-art person) in the position, and the ten years prior were with an art teacher that only did paper and pencil work. It was a challenge, but I really feel like the students grew in amazing ways during the year.
