在我旧教室执教11年后,校方决定将紧邻我的大型计算机实验室彻底翻新,并改造成我校第二间美术教室。由于我负责教授三年级至高中美术课程,校方决定将这间新教室分配给我——我简直欣喜若狂!如今置身其中,我常常站在教室正中央,原地旋转一圈,高唱“群山苏醒了……”(出自《音乐之声》)。我们终于有充足空间自由活动啦!!!
整个暑假,学校拆除了地毯、粉刷了墙面、加装了水槽和橱柜——他们忙得不可开交!! 福气源源不断——校方还通知我可以订购一台拉坯机(THROWING WHEEL)!耶!!!能在一所全力支持艺术教育、坚信“全人教育”理念的学校任教,真是莫大的福分。
我先坦白一点——我可不是整理达人! 我高度依赖Pinterest 及其他教师分享的美术教室整理创意。营造一个温馨且井然有序的教学环境,能让学生感到安心与平静!
我唯一明确的是:必须采用有限的配色方案。因此我选定冷色调——紫、蓝、绿。墙面早已粉刷完毕(石板蓝),所以我需要一套能与之和谐搭配的配色。于是我也加入了灰色与黑色。我还付钱请学生们把所有金属柜子和置物架涂成灰色,让它们外观统一协调(便宜又可靠的劳动力,真香 🙂 )。
新美术教室布置小贴士:
- 为美术教室需求发声! 有时校方并不清楚美术教室的具体需求——你就是教室的代言人!水槽、硬质地面、橱柜、带门储物柜……
- 确定配色方案——主色调尽量控制在3–4种以内。(避免过度刺激——视觉杂乱)
- 将学生高频使用的教具置于易取位置(如铅笔、橡皮、剪刀、胶棒——我在课桌上摆放篮子,内装这些物品)。
- 摸清你的最大班级人数,并据此规划教室空间。我始终按每位学生至少预留18×24英寸(约45.7×61厘米)的操作面积来设计(尤其针对五年级及以上学生)。
- 绘制一张人流动线图,预判学生在教室内的行进路径。可在地面贴脚印图案或箭头标识,直观提示学生移动方向。
- 清楚掌握现有物资! 盘点手头教具,再决定最合理的归类方式。
- 善用已有资源—— 几乎任何物品都可重新喷漆!若需不同功能的收纳家具,不妨去跳蚤市场、二手商店或Craigslist淘一淘“新”家具,再买一加仑带底漆功能的油漆,统一喷涂——色彩统一,整体感立现。
- 勇于尝试新方法! 改变未必是坏事,欣然拥抱这次机会,做出真正必要的调整(人生不也如此吗?!)。

After 11 years in my old classroom, my administration decided to redo the large computer lab next to me & transform it into a second art room for our school. Since I teach 3rd grade up through High School Art, they decided it would become my room and I couldn’t be more thrilled! Now that I’m in the room, I literally stand in the middle of the room, twirl around & sing “the Hills are Alive…” (you know from Sound of Music). WE HAVE ROOM TO MOVE AROUND NOW!!!
The school spent the summer tearing out the carpet, painting the walls, adding sinks, and installing cabinets-they were busy!! The blessings just kept flowing-they told me that I could order a THROWING WHEEL! YEAHHHH! What a blessing it is to be at a school that totally supports the arts and believes in the importance of teaching the “whole child”.
I will say this up front-I am NOT an organizer! I rely heavily on Pinterest & other teacher’s for art room organization ideas. Setting up an environment that is welcoming and organized is calming to the students!
The one thing I did know was that I needed a limited color scheme, so I went with Cool colors-Purple, Blue & Green. They had already painted the walls, so I needed a color scheme that would blend well with the slate blue walls. So I used gray & black too. I paid my kids to paint all the metal cabinets and shelves gray to give them a unified look (gotta LOVE cheap labor 🙂 ).
Tips for Setting Up a New Art Room:
- Speak up for the art room needs! Sometimes administrations don’t know the details of what an art room needs-YOU are the voice of your classroom! Sinks, hard floors, Cabinets, CLOSED STORAGE,
- Decide on a color scheme – try to limit the main colors to 3-4 colors. (limit over stimulation – visual clutter)
- Make regularly used supplies easily accessible to students (like pencils, erasers, scissors, glue sticks-I have baskets on the table with these supplies).
- Find out your biggest class size and plan the room to accommodate that many students. I always plan for at least 18×24″ minimum working pace for each student (especially 5th grade & up).
- Set up a traffic flow chart to figure out how students will move around the room. Place feet or arrows on the floor so students will see the direction they need to move.
- Know what you have! Look at the supplies you have and decide the best way to organize them.
- Use what you have- Almost anything can be painted! If you need different storage, find new-to-you furniture at garage sales, thrift shops or Craig’s List. Then buy a gallon of paint (with primer in it) & paint everything to match-color ties it all together.
- Be willing to do something different! Change can be good, embrace the opportunity to make some needed changes (isn’t that true in life too!).
So here are pictures of my new room. Do YOU have tips for setting up a classroom? Please share with us all in the comments below-we learn from each other!
