Oh, how did you know this???\nThis was a kind of the first thing what the Japanese kids learn!!\nOff course, I learned this too over 20 years ago.\nIf you ask some Japanese guy how to draw the Doraemon, then 99% of Japanese will start drawing with the eye-ball...\n\nIf you can not believe what I say, see YouTube video...lol\n\nhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6Z8BaNUFPM

Life is not only about spouting facts and doing paperwork. It is also about creativity (we wouldn't have anything without people being creative/inventive). Not only that, but Art provides additional support, emphasis, and reinforcement for certain essential skills used in core academics: observation, attention to detail, visual-perceptual skills, hand-eye coordination, patience, etc.\n\nIt is a very important part of education, and should be included in every school.

I think it is a right brain, left brain thing.  Most artistic people I know are HORRIBLE at math, yet those who are good at math/science are HORRIBLE at anything creative.\n\nThere are exceptions, because I do believe there are gifted people who use BOTH.  Like architects for example, they create gorgeous buildings but they definitely need to have a math capable mind to work out the measurments, geometry of the building.

There are a lot of rules in school. Fortunately, the teachers don't know them all. Play by the rules, make them regret they even considered a detention. For instance, if you are really good at one object, make the teacher ask you questions about the class insted of detention. Then, if you answer corectly, you win the battle in front of you r colleagues. After that, the teacher can't give you a detention because he/she would look bad in front of the rest of the class.

Those who can do..do.  Those who can't do...teach.

I'm a Studio Art major and it really makes me mad that they are trying to lessen the amount of arts in schools.  Obviously art is very important to me, but I feel like it is also important to the development of the minds of young children!  It really seems like physical education is surpassing the arts in elementary-high schools and although P.E. is important, there needs to be a balance!

A teacher who cannot communicate well is seldom hired.  Students must be able to discern what the teacher asks them to do in order to succeed.  Teachers who do not communicate well with the public often create confusion that is referred up the ladder to the principal, who does NOT enjoy having to clean up the mess.  Thus, such a teacher would not be retained since they create more work than they do.

Not all teachers are cruel to students. The ones who are, probably don't know any other way to control their class. It's not a very good excuse, but being the only adult in a room full of kids is an intimidating experience. Especially if the kids aren't paying attention. Usually, the 'cruel' teachers have good sides too. You just have to follow the rules to get on, and stay on, that good side.

I had an art teacher in high school who was hit three times in her life. I'm not lying and I'm pretty sure she wasn't either. I know one of them happened at school. She was crazy.

I've just finished my training year, and so far I've really enjoyed it.\n\nI think art is certainly different from other subjects to teach, not necessarily easier. Certainly once a project is up and running, the amount of preperation and planning you have to do decreases, but then don't forget other lessons often have text books to resort to if they're stuck for ideas.\n\nYou have to keep the students motivated, which depending upon their own interest and ability can be challenging.\n\nHours can vary, but if you basically total up the hours spent in school and add about an hour every weeknight for planning/marking/admin. you won't be far wrong.\n\nOne piece of advice would be to devise schemes of work that actually interest the students. Don't think that just because you think a particular artist or medium is great, they will. Try to develop lessons that interest and motivate pupils whilst also teaching them aspects of art/design.\n\nI would recommend it to anyone who is passionate about the subject and has the ability to communicate to students, something you won't know till you try.\n\nGood luck!

you use both halves of your brain. you use different halves during different activities. in artists the right brain is the stronger side. when you are doing a math problem you use a different 1/2 of the brain than when you are painting. they both do the same thing in everyone. it is just in some people are stronger in one half. people are not just either logical or creative. that is not how it works. you are both but you may have a strength.\n\nnsrunner16@yahoo.com

I think the answer to this question is because mean teachers don't belong in a Special Ed environment.  If they are being mean, then they don't understand that special ed children have special needs.  Sometimes people who do mean things, do them because they are afraid or maybe it is the only opportunity that they get to exert their power over anyone.  If they are being mean to you...tell someone.  You shouldn't have to deal with a mean teacher, you have a lot more important things to deal with.

At my high school we didn't have majors, and I still got into University. There are some specific requirements for certain art programs though. You have to have taken some art history courses and have a portfolio with some samples of your own original artwork. Aside from the specifics, you need good grades and recommendations from teachers. A recommendation from an art teacher or artist would be even better.
