This week, we observed the art classroom at location B. I think we'd all agree that it was a very different experience than the observation at Location A. First of all, we were able to get there around 12:20 and they were in the middle of having their lunch period so we went into the classroom with barely enough time to actually observe a class. However, this gave us some time to talk with the teacher about what her days look like teaching there and the current projects her students were working on. I felt like she was much stricter of a teacher than the other was and stricter than the kinds of art teachers I was used to in middle school and high school. I don't think this is a bad thing by any means, I just thought it was interesting to see two teachers who taught the same grade level and subject but were very different. I noticed that her classroom was very organized from the posters to the rules posted on the walls, I actually did really like how her classroom was set up and how organized she had it, I don't know if I personally would be like that since I kind of thrive in a messier art space but it was definitely interesting. Her students were working on perspective drawings of streets. Something I found surprising was that they watched a video on google classroom on their chrome books that she recorded herself demonstrating how to draw from the one point perspective. I found this very different from what I was used to as a student because we'd be physically taught how to with the teacher in front of the classroom instead of watching a video of the steps but I thought it was still beneficial because they could rewind which steps they missed or messed up the first time. However we only saw the classroom in action for ten minutes since most of our observation was during their lunch period, so we didn't see very much.
