 Elementary Art—Learning to Share with the Community
Kristen Rice has always been drawn to public art and wanted to find a way to help her students become involved in creating something that would enhance their local community. She discovered a community garden spot that she felt could be spruced up with the addition of some mosaic columns and went about finding ways to finance the project. With her help plus some assistance from other adults in the school, the students designed, built, and installed the columns and have learned to take pride in their own efforts and in their community.

The Art Glass Association also shares how that organization is working alongside the Art Education Association in five different states to encourage art teachers to bring glass art into the public school classroom. And Independent Artists won’t want to miss the great advice from Milon Townsend in Teaching for the Working Artist—Working with Teaching Assistants and Students as he shares the trials but also the benefits that can be derived from working with teaching assistants, as well as tips for dealing with the various personality types displayed by the students with whom teachers deal during class sessions. Finally, let Bruce Baker teach you how to make sure that your slides are noticed when you are trying to get accepted into a juried show in Your Slides and the Jury—Understanding the Jury Process.
