Art 201

I created a lesson plan for middle school art (grades 6-8), for a lesson centered around creating Pop Art self portraits, using a monochromatic color scheme.

I completed my Pre-Clinical Experience at the High Road School, which is a private school catered to students who don't adjust well to mainstream schools. These students included those with Autism, physical disabilities, behavioral issues, trauma, and more.

The classroom that I was in a middle school age classroom and was composed of 5 students that all had severe Autism and 1 student with Down Syndrome.

Below is my presentation about the experience, including the student's projects that they completed!

This November, I was able to attend the Illinois Art Education Association Conference in Bloomington-Normal.
It was the first I was able to attend an art education conference in person and it was extremely rewarding. I attended sessions about new lessons to implement in my classroom, attended workshops, and got to help out with setting up some parts of the conference.
I also was elated because I was able to connect with quite a few art educators in Illinois. Some teachers gave me their contact information for future student teaching and gave me some supplies which I can use for ISU's very own, NAEA.

For the Art Education Association holiday party, I led a bleach tie dye event for the members!
It was super fun and it was fun exploring pattern with bleach instead of typical dye.
