I am a middle school teacher at an inner city
school. This is my 8th year of teaching art, and I still find my self learning. My students say that I am very organized, however, I have found that being an organized teacher creates less chaos. Every new school year I try to create a new theme to my classroom where I incorporate a word walls also in that theme. This year I have chosen the artist Keith Haring. I like his simple figures and they were easy to integrate into my room. In this picture I have my sink area along with my word wall. I have added my vocabulary words to Haring figures.
In this photo you can see my comp
uter area where my student research, upload to their student portfolios (thank you Mac
computers and Photobooth), my bookshelf and a giant bulletin board where I have added Haring figures and frames to put student artwork. My
chairs at the computer were a project I did with my 5th graders 3 years ago based off of the artist Christo.
In this photo I have placed a quote of Keith Haring's on one of my bulletin boards along with a few of the figures I had left over from my word wall.
This is a picture of another bulletin board where I have taken a Keith Haring sculpture picture and broke it down into vocabulary words to help my students better understand some of the words and what they mean. Then again I used a few leftover word wall figures to add to the bottom.
