How to Demonstrate an Art Lesson: AME 081 - a podcast by Patty Palmer: Art Teacher and expert in teaching art to kids.

The fine art of art demonstrations is not something we learn at school. Often, teachers are plunked in front of a class without knowing exactly what to do. Do you show a finished project? Where do kids sit? Do you have supplies on the table or do you offer a self-serve approach?

Believe me, I've been there!

This episode is in response to a question posed in our Sparkler Facebook group:I'm curious, how do you all demonstrate a lesson? I'm on a cart and don't have access to a document camera. The flow of my lessons feels a little chaotic and I feel it is part due to students not understanding how to create the projects. I usually give verbal instructions and perhaps demonstrate a technique on scrap paper, but then those in the back have trouble seeing.
Such a great questions, right?This episode reveals my strategy of how I staged my demonstrations in my art room from how children enter the art room to working on a project.

- Ways I managed my classroom to allow students to have a calm state of mind- How I get children to listen
