Art Idea: " Where you are, is where you are."
The end of term is always tricky with timing and in the Art Studio I am encouraging boys to try and complete all of their projects with pride. Some may even become lovely Christmas presents if finished. So I have been talking to the boys about
" Self and Time Management."
I heard a great philosophy of, " Where you are, is where you are!" So when the boys are in Math, that's what they should be concentrating on; when they are in Music they should be listening beautifully and engaging in the activity set and when they are at play, all they should be thinking about is playing! I try to practice this philosophy myself and would love it if parents could reiterate this message with your boys at home, so we can all finish the term beautifully. If boys want to come into the Art Studio during lunchtime to complete artwork, I am happy to support any boys with this. However, the main goal is for boys to maximise their use of class time, giving themselves every chance to achieve the best possible results and complete work.
To maximise class time, they need to:
- Remember "Where they are, is where they are!"
- Listen carefully to the instructions, especially at the start of the lesson.
- Minimise talking, unless the activity requires it.
- Focus on themselves and their own artwork.
- Make a conscious effort to create the best possible result they can.
- Take care with equipment and set up properly so they have everything they need.
