Lesson plans are being thought up. Not sure what I am doing yet, but trying to decide if Egyptian Hieroglyphics would not be too difficult for first grade. Thinking about having them write their name in hieroglyphics and then using the images in a landscape drawing. It may be a little advanced though, I think adding a little history and having them use their imagination to tell stories about the finished pictures would be fun for them.
I have really began to love education. and the ideas behind how to teach students well. Philosophies on teaching art I am learning have been my own philosophies on art anyway. So if I teach 12th grade or 1st grade it doesn't matter, I will be fine, and my students will be inundated with the love of learning and hte love of art.
