Throwback to when CCNY art ed students took a trip to visit 9 contemporary artists at @efastudios before Spring Break! What a phenomenal day - jam packed with riveting studio visits. #sayawoolfalk #heejungcho #patteloper #sharmistharaystudio #simonettequamina #kerenbenbenisty #richardhart #michaeleade #shahpourpouyan @nakazawastudio #professornakazawa

A teaching lab led by Sheila Griffin introduced cymatics (the visualization of sound waves) and had students create responsive drawings to sound (Pink Floyd!). Then students were taught a simple way to create lo-fi DIY speakers! Such an incredible class. #ccnyarted #gradstudents #materialsandmethods #professornakazawa course facilitated by: @nakazawastudio

Teaching lab led by Yasmeen Abuhashish introduced students to the concept of reliefs through a collaborative process: dipping fake flowers into a quickly drying tub of plaster and assembling onto a surface. The result is an exciting variety of textures and shapes! #ccnyarted #methodaandmaterials #gradstudents #professornakazawa course taught by: @nakazawastudio

Are there key moments from growing up that made you want to be a teacher? Hating my teachers. It was like if I ever had a chance to teach, I’m not going to do it like that. I’m going to make it so that the kids want to listen and understand. I don’t know if it was when I was going through a rough stage or the teachers just didn’t care or I just had no idea, but high school sucked for the whole freshmen to senior year. It was just, “This shit is disgusting. I don’t want to be here.” It was like algebra is boring, calculus is boring, everything just bored the crap out of me except for art class, so that’s how I graduated. It kind of got me through. Knowing that I did not like the way teachers taught me, made me want to try to do it. “The job can’t be that freaking hard!” But it is, and I’m so sorry. I wish I could go back and apologize to every teacher that I ever gave a hard time. I swear because now some of my students are giving it to me like tenfold. And [teachers are] so brave to stand up there and be challenged by us and not realize that some of us are going through major stuff at home that we bring into the classroom because we spend most of our waking moments inside the school. -Jasmin Eli-Washington (Interview by Chris Parkman) . . . #artsed #educators #teacherinterview #whyiteach

My name is Sarah Webb. I grew up in a one square mile town in Long Island, Sea Cliff. As a kid I couldn’t wait to graduate High School and get out, but it’s the kind of place that draws you back time and time again. I am currently working in the same school district I attended as a child, often working alongside teachers who I once had, and sometimes their children. Life really comes full circle sometimes... I think most of us art teachers would agree that we would prefer not to grade our students, but unfortunately we live in a world of high stakes testing, state and national standards, and district mandates, so we are forced to assess student work in a quantitative way. I am working to discover what this looks like, and more specifically how do our assessment systems impact students? Much of the research related to art education and assessment discusses how one might assess student work, but what isn’t talked about is how this affects students and the ways in which they engage with their teacher or artwork. . . . #thesisthursday #mastersthesis #arteducation #ccny #nationalstandards #assessment #artteachers
