Welcome to the How-To Guide for First Year Art Teachers where I give you my 10 Steps for Success! Congratulations! You got your own classroom. OH MY GOSH, you have your own classroom.

You will have a lot of students, a lot of planning, and a lot of classroom to keep organized.

After a decade of teaching high school art, I've recently moved to teaching middle school art. It's a blast and there is truly NEVER a dull moment.

Wow, Is summer over already!!!! What is your first project? I like to start with an upside down Picasso from Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain by Betty Edwards. Absolutely a MUST read for any art teacher! By drawing something upside down we transform the way in which our brains compute the information. I find that kids really get in the "zone" AKA, right side of the brain, for this activity. It is so neat to watch them! What you do: Igor Stravinsky by Picasso Put this image on the screen upside down. Don't show it to them right side up until after the entire class is finished. Show them how to copy the lines and make sure they work from TOP to BOTTOM. Tell them when they get to the middle and bottom (try not to use the words "hands" and "face") to break it down it to simple lines. Play soft music and don't talk to them. Let them get into that zen zone. Even the rowdy kids quiet down and focus. Don't interrupt them, I repeat, DO NOT INTERRUPT THEM! Tip toe around and answer any question with a whisper. Make sure to make copies for the kids that can't see the board. If you have never done this you will be amazed!

After nearly a decade of teaching secondary students, I've had a lot of time to test out a variety of 2d art projects. Let's face it: as teachers, sometimes we plan and plan and plan. We are so excited to deliver the project, and then... it flops. Students are uninterested and the final products aren't
