The K-5 Joliet Art Department is an Art team of 10 teachers. Some of our professionals have been teaching for 25 plus years while others are first-year teachers. We work in the Joliet 86 school district and teach with a very unique schedule. We partner with a music teacher and complete two, 45-minute classes in a 90-minute block within a grade level. As a team, we teach the whole grade level in a building at one time. Due to our schedule, we all teach in multiple buildings and on carts going from classroom to classroom. We will share some of our helpful tips about handling supplies, painting on a cart and some classroom management insights.

Think Like an Artist: An introduction to the 8 Habits of Mind & How to Teach Them
” color=”grey-lite”][vc_column_text]

Presenter: Lea Heller

Art education has the potential to teach a diverse set of skills that give students the ability to “see new patterns, how to learn from mistakes, and how to envision solutions” (Hetland, Winner, Veeneema, Sheridan, 2013). These are skills that students need in all aspects of their lives and can be taught in the art room. This presentation will focus on the 8 Habits of Mind, why they (along with art) are important to every student’s education, and how to make sure they are integrated into your lessons.

Lea Heller is an art educator in Southern Illinois, teaching at the small rural district of Shawnee #84. She is in her 10th hear of teaching, currently teaching 1st-12th grade art, with classes that focus on general art, AP Art, painting, drawing, and heritage arts. She earned her BS of Art Education from Southern Illinois University and is about to complete her Masters of Art Education from Eastern Illinois University. Lea has the goals to make sure art is accessible by all students, by developing lessons that students can relate to, as well as working to make sure all students have art classes beginning in elementary school.

Discover new strategies to help keep all of your students engaged throughout the entire class period, even when they are finished with their assignments. Finding ways to keep your students not only occupied, but engaged in the art-making process for the entirety of your class period can be a daunting task. But equipping yourself with a variety of resources and routines to address this issue can have a lasting impact on the flow of your classroom and the development of your students’ artistic abilities and habits.
