One aspect of USF that is unique is the amount of hand-on experience students get here. We have the simulation lab for the nursing students, we have the Entrepreneurship Center for the business major, and Saturday Morning Art for Art Ed. people…like me!
I am currently enrolled in Saturday Morning Art for this semester. I am teaching first and second grade students. I will have the biggest class probably having about 25 students, and I will be teaching them for two hours; I teach for 11 weeks.
Thanks to the university, I have tons of experience with elementary students. I’ve taught 27 second and third grades in a cafeteria. Dr. Petsch, my adviser, has allowed me to substitute for Saturday Morning Art classes in the past. I also teach Sunday school for second graders.
I have a lot of ideas I want my students to experience. We will be working on animation, set design, fashion, silk-screening, and a balloon still-life.
I’ll post updates about how this class and other ones are going in the future.
