| I help my students prepare their college portfolios that include nude drawings or paintings completed in classes outside of school. Does anyone else allow students to bring in (or even create) nude figure drawings/paintings for their college portfolios? If so, does your administration know? Do you have a policy on it? | ||||

| How do you label your supplies so they don't walk away from your classroom (via students or other art teachers)? I'm a neat freak, so I don't really like the huge masking tape flags on the end of my stuff... but sharpie obviously doesn't work for everything. Advice appreciated! | ||||

| The problem: students placed in HS Art 1 for their "art elective", lacking intrinsic motivation, little self discipline and the curiousity gene was killed off several years back. HOW to inspire, motivate? What to do with the "checked out" so, they might...dare I say...change their attitude and behaviors. Ideas? Please! | ||||

I have a friend who does it and I swear all she does is upload pictures. ALL THE TIME. I'm not sure I have the time to do that. I just wonder if it is really worth all the effort. | ||||
