I have been teaching for 20+ 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!
