Art Teacher Tips and Classroom Management Hi! I am Katie Jarvis a K-6 Art Teacher who teaches in a title one school just outside of Washington, D.C. On this channel, you will find tips and tricks to save you time and maintain your sanity. I am not a Pinterest worthy teacher nor do I have it all figured out. I do my best and try to always continue learning and growing. I focus on imagining what it would feel like to be a student in my class. I hope to share my journey and help you feel less alone in this crazy career as we all try to MANAGE THE MESS!
If i were to teach, id get my students to do cute pranks on other teachers, like associations of colours with certain numbers and shapes, and then students have a back up sheet of normal homework after handing in the fake ones with colours and shapes, their own little code with a decoder that they can keep and use whenever they want. A somewhat fun prank to prank a co-worker (id tell them about it before) and have fun!
Katie, 1st, Good ideas for projects. Actually, I've never seen something like those before. 2nd, I like the shirt you have on. "Specials, The best part of the day." It depends on where the student is on that part of the day. - Dwight
Wow. Those are some really well thought out art projects. Thank you for being so generous as to share them with us. I really like how you explain all the different aspects of the one project and what they are learning by doing it. I'd really like to see some 3rd grade art projects as well. I'm curious to see how the projects develop in complexity and build on previous knowledge through the grades. So I feel like Kindergarten, 3rd grade, 5th grade would give a nice overview.

Do you have a video on how to become an art teacher? What certifications/license do you need and where/how to get them? I have been searching the internet and can't seem to find one strait answer. I know it depends on the state and what level you want to teach. I have a BA in Graphic Design and photography but love all art mediums.
I don’t have a video about this currently. It definitely varies by state and even school district. Many places offer a provisional license that would allow you a few years to get your missing credits while you are teaching. I recommend looking at your states department of education website for more information. Also note, teaching art in some states or private schools don’t require an art education degree.
I have to review cutting with every level 😕They just don’t get much practice anymore. ✂️ Managing the Scissors- Teaching Students to Cut, Scissor Safety, and More! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-R8kbuTsgW6M.html
I typically have students complete an exit ticket or have students start planning the next project. At times when we have some working and others not, I have drawing and building toys. At the end of the quarter we do a ketchup/pickle day to complete all unfinished assignments.
Many thanks to you for your work, videos, expertise and support. I am a first yr art teacher and am going through a lot of what you mentioned in this video. It came right on time🙏🏽 Much appreciated and continued abundance 🌹
This is a great reminder of how much we actually manage. I have 10 different grades(prek-8) plus advanced art and art club. We all do so much! Lessons that kids like while actually learning, making the administrators of the moment happy, make parents happy, staying organized.
Well Katie, To me, No Teacher at all should ever beat themselves up because you all are doing a job that has no concrete correct answers because you are trying to please the educational powers that be while learning or trying to stay with what works for the students. With that said, you look beautiful in that dress that you have on. - Dwight
Thank you Katie, I use your resources all the time and am so appreciative of them. Classroom management is by far the most challenging aspect of the Art room for me.
Thank you so much, Katie Jarvis! I was moved to another school in the district and I was apprehensive. I implemented some of your strategies with the happy and sad board. I bought and painted gold and silver paintbrushes and incorporated the red and yellow zones. It's been going well. I'm so happy and thankful. I'm also surprised how much the 5th graders want the gold paintbrush! I guess it brings out their competitive side- going for the gold. Your lineup routine works great too! I hope to solidify these routines soon so that they will become protocol.
I had rooms in the past with painted stools and it faded and looked dull. My current room had new stools but marks on the seats from when the previous teacher was here. I was short on time so I used the vinyl circles. I did find that spray Gorilla glue was ideal. The glue I used in the video puffed as it dried creating a slight texture. The ones I used the spray on look better.
I love this idea, but I have a question about grades. If you are holding on to an assignment until the end of the quarter- do you put it in the grade book as a zero/missing or do you just leave the grade blank until it’s finally done and you grade it at the end of the quarter.
"like yeah, this like took me like 30 seconds" Well no schit, and so how much did that tool deduct from your bank account for you to do the job in like 30 seconds?!
When I was little, our classroom paper cutter was basically just a big machete on a base. No clue how no one ever cut their fingers off, considering how the teachers would let the kids use it sometimes. Safety protocols have definitely gotten better 😂.
I LOVE all your videos & look forward to them each & every week!! I am a K - 6th grade art teacher! Thank you for sharing some projects you do with Kindergarten!! Will you share more videos like this on some projects you do with the rest of your grades on up to 6th grade?
