Nicole Haan's Wall by Nicole Haan

Introduction

haanlynn — 2015-09-15 23:21:37 UTC

Hello! My name is Nicole Haan, and I am working towards becoming an Arizona certified art teacher, and perhaps a history teacher someday. I am an avid art nerd and bookworm. I have a BFA in Illustration and Graphic Design from the University of Arizona, and I've studied abroad in Russia. I am also a Bruins fan.

I am looking forward to the teaching knowledge and experience I will gain through this program. I would love to teach high school art once I am certified and ready to go!

Please introduce yourself if you stop by! I plan on using this space to post what I find to be interesting or related to teaching art.

And, to put a face to the name, here's a photo of me!

Great Art Scholarships and areas of interest for High School Students (or just good sites for anyone interested in entering design or illustration!)

Combining Attendance and Bell work Ideas

1. Have a different item on desk groups/tables each day. Have students do a five minute warm-up sketch of said item, write their name on it, and turn it in.

2. Have a piece of art displayed on the projector. Ask students to write a few sentences responding to the piece of art, whether they like it or not, why, whether they recognize it. Have them write their name on it and turn it in.

3. Have an animated short or video art piece play as students walk in. Have students write a short response to it, write their name on it, and turn it in.
