Episode 266: Back to Basics Art Teaching

Laura and Matt Grundler

Matt & Laura Grundler

The beginning of a new school year can be stressful - not just for students, but for educators as well. With new trends and teaching ideas constantly coming our way, sometimes it helps to pause and get back to the basics. That’s exactly what the Creativity Department explores in this episode. Drawing on their combined years as art educators, Matt and Laura share practical art teaching wisdom, tips for building a strong community in the art room, their start-of-the-year “non-negotiables,” and ways to introduce students to essential art room concepts, including ways of managing stress and giving and receiving constructive criticism.
