The classroom environment is really a third teacher. Throughout my time at Langley I documented how the room transformed with each project, material organization for art supplies and projects, along with how the artwork was displayed and stored. Managing an art room is much different than a normal classroom with books, paper, and the occasional projects requiring a poster. An art room is filled with art supplies, examples, in progress artwork, etc. filling up every cabinet, shelf, and wall. Keeping an art room organized is key. Everyday I made sure the room was set up for the days events because that last thing I want to worry about is getting supplies, so I always over prepared for each class. Our prep periods and lunch breaks often were consumed with organizing our schedules, getting materials ready for future projects to make learning time as efficient as possible, and ensuing everything was as orderly as possible. When I have a classroom of my very own one day, I know exactly what I would envision for it. Working in many different learning environments I will be able to take a few elements from each to create my very own learning oasis that the students will know the routines and procedures to make sure materials are accounted for, organized, and prepared. Having structures in place will ensure that I will not always be organizing in my free time like I was at both placements. The posters hanging will have a purpose and not just clutter the walls. I will have rotating art galleries that will be continually changed to allow for all students to be featured artists. The art room is supposed to be inviting, colorful, full or materials to explore with, but it especially needs to be organized and not over stimulating. There should be breathing room amongst all the organized chaos that is going on within its walls. I talk more about this in my professional goals reflection found in Domain D: Professionalism.
