I have been teaching for 18 years and have some great ideas for easy, successful lessons for your students based on the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks.  (this page is always be added to/ under construction!) 

This year I teach over 320 students and they have art once or twice a week all year long. 

My major rule in my class is what I call the "Thumper Rule" from the movie "Bambi." It's when Thumper says something like "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all."  I don't allow students to say anything negative about anyone else! I like a happy classroom atmosphere!   Inside Thumper's body is the song "RESPECT" by Aretha Franklin!
