打造我的“智慧墙”花了多年时间。
我在教学中不断学习。
我认识到，孩子们是视觉型学习者。若配上图片来呈现，知识就更容易被记住。因此，我把从教十五年多以来所领悟的种种教学智慧，全部设计成了海报形式。
我脑中仍有许多想法在酝酿，但要把它们一一落实，需要时间。我知道，并非所有美术教师都有时间自制海报。于是几年前我决定：每制作一张海报，就先扫描存档，再上传至TPT（Teachers Pay Teachers）平台，供其他教师下载使用。欢迎访问我的店铺——此处仅提供海报图片的下载。
您可自行打印下载文件；也可发送至线上照片冲印中心，由其寄送到家；或直接携带下载文件前往实体照相馆现场打印。
我的小窍门？我注册了CVS与Walgreens的摄影优惠券，专等全场五折大促时再批量打印海报。这便是我全部海报的制作方式。常有人问我：“这些海报怎么打印出来的？是像素化还是高清？”我在家用扫描仪以最高数字分辨率进行扫描，因此即使放大打印，效果依然出色。

下方附上大量实拍图，展示这些海报在真实教室环境中的呈现效果。
厌倦了一遍又一遍地向学生重复同样的话！
只画一个点，别画一大堆！！
我曾经也这样。
正因如此，我才开始制作海报——最初纯粹只为我自己和我的课堂。
但现在，当我拥有能替我“说话”的海报时，
教室变得平和多了。
毕竟，一张海报胜过千言万语，不是吗？

所有这些海报创意均源自我十四年的教学实践！我反复向学生强调同一句话、同一条规则或同一个口诀，却发现它们总难真正入心。后来，我干脆把这些内容绘制成插图——就这样，我的“智慧墙”诞生了！我持续不断地往墙上添加新内容。如今，我已深深爱上了制作海报！我喜欢手写字体，喜欢插画创作；我喜欢色彩，也喜欢细节；我热爱美术！
如果您有设计灵感，或是您自己总结出的教学心得、传授给学生的要点，请务必告诉我。
它或许就会成为我的下一张海报！

作为一名美术教师，有些话我总在不断重复地告诉学生，例如：
“你须为自己的脏乱负责”；
“美术重在耐心，而非天赋！”；
“邋遢绝无借口！”；
“能用橡皮擦改，就别浪费一张新纸！”
与其反复口头强调，多年前我就决定打造一面“智慧墙”。
墙上满载助您提升美术水平的建议，也体现我对良好美术学习态度的理解。
这是我以前的海报墙……
新学校的新墙面……
我于2014年转岗至小学部啦！😉
此前已在初中部任教十年。
小学男生 = 纸飞机狂魔！！！
怎么回事？而且他们做的飞机甚至毫无创意！
也许该让他们画上窗户，再画几个乘客探头张望……之类？但不行！
所以，我决定禁止纸飞机进入我的教室！
“让想象力翱翔……
而非你的纸！” —— T. Morgan
消灭空白区域！
用生命填满它，学会“转角”构图！
亲爱的美术生：
我并不欣赏你的速度。
笑到最后的，永远是慢而稳者。
爱你的，
Morgan老师

有些孩子完成作业特别快，因而异常兴奋。
但“快”未必是好事。
还记得龟兔赛跑的故事吗？
有时，“快”意味着他们没花时间做到整洁，或未彻底完成任务。
因此，慢而稳者胜出。
有些孩子起步很努力，中途却疲倦懈怠，最终放弃追求最佳表现。
若你开头画得整洁，结尾也要保持整洁。
请让你的作品始终持之以恒。
开学第一天，我就告诉孩子们：
我不按天赋评分。因为没人能选择自己出生时是否具备某项天赋。
我相信，如果可以自主选择，每位学生都会希望自己富有艺术天分。
因此，我的评分依据是他们的“美术态度（ARTtitude）”：
他们是否愿意尝试？是否主动修正错误？是否有所进步？是否乐于听取建议？
抑或轻易放弃？只付出一半努力？明知作品尚有提升空间却草草交差？
艺术之路需要挥洒汗水、倾注心血、付出辛劳——关键在于坚持的距离，而非冲刺的速度。
我最反感的事之一，就是孩子浪费纸张！
只画下微不足道的一笔，就把它扔掉！啊啊啊啊啊！
我真想抄起橡皮朝那些浪费者砸过去！
于是，我设计了这则略带讽刺意味的广告，隆重推出——
最新发明……
橡皮擦！
你不必有天赋才能画得整洁。
只需要格外用心和耐心。
你只需握着蜡笔，用手来回涂画……
其实并不难。
因此，我对那些马虎的孩子会严格打分。这等于他们在告诉我：他们根本不在乎。
这是一种糟糕的“艺”态。
大多数情况下，最好涂深色。这样更醒目、更突出，也更能展现颜色本来的面貌。
即使你不把内部涂深，至少也要用深色在外围勾勒轮廓加以强调。
此外，涂深色更费力、更耗时，最终反而更能体现用心程度。
我告诉孩子们：纸面大，就画得大。
把画面空间填满。画作本身比它背后的空白更重要。
画得更大，还能让创作者加入更多细节。
有空间，就充分利用！
否则，就是浪费。
耐心是一种美德……
创作艺术时，你必须练习耐心。
当我的学生通过展现耐心而努力投入时，
我喜欢把他们的作品发到网上。
伟大的教育哲学家哈里·吴（Harry Wong）在我听他演讲时曾说过类似的话。我只是把他的话摘录下来，做成了一张海报。
我允许孩子们在创作时交谈。
只要他们能对此负责，
但若他们说话多于动手、因喧哗干扰他人创作，或因说话分心而失败，那就说明他们出了问题，需要纠正。
美术，是一天中最重要的一餐。
嘘……开始阶段若不确定，就画些隐秘、轻柔、浅淡的线。若下笔太重，后续修改反而更困难。
我努力教孩子：在绘画初期，切勿对铅笔施加过大压力。
太多时候，他们画错后试图擦除，却无法完全清除最初的线条。
于是我就让他们翻到纸背面继续画；若背面已用过，就让他们擦掉最浅的那一侧。
我这样做，是为了教会他们：先轻画，直到确认无误，再加重。
孩子们常敲打、摔砸、乱扔彩铅。
结果铅芯断裂、外壳破损！
接着他们想削笔，铅芯却直接脱落。
这是滥用工具导致的可怕后果。
我做了这张海报，提醒他们：要把彩铅当作玻璃一样小心对待。
我把马克笔竖直存放，笔尖朝下。
这样可使墨水自然流向笔尖。
从而延长马克笔的使用寿命。
有些孩子不盖胶水瓶盖。敞口会让空气进入，使瓶盖下方残留的胶水变干硬化。于是孩子们以为：在堵塞的胶水瓶上戳个更大的洞，就能让它更好用。
这或许能暂时起效，但从长远看，他们戳出的那个大洞，只会让空气大量涌入，加速笔尖堵塞——陷入恶性循环！
这事让我很恼火，所以我做了张海报来传达我的意思。
我也厌倦了孩子们不清洗画笔。颜料干在笔上，笔尖变硬，这支笔就再也无法使用了。或者，他们虽洗了笔，却把刷毛朝下放置，结果笔毛干后弯曲变形，永久定型。
我高中时的美术老师——利德尔女士（Mrs. Liddell），曾贴过一张类似的海报。我很喜欢，便也为自己的教室制作了一张：“你妈不住这儿，自己的烂摊子自己收拾”。
我自制的美术原则图示……
我自制的美术元素图示……
为小学阶段简化了我的图示；）
我最近决定为教室制作这张励志海报。
我还专门查了它的背景资料，发现原版的历史非常有趣。
因此，这是我向经典《我们能做到！》（We Can Do It）海报致敬的戏仿之作。
保持积极心态！
微型杰作墙
（明信片尺寸绘画）
每张桌子坐4名学生，人人有明确分工。
规则与奖励……
积极调色盘。
每个班级都有一张纸质调色盘，每当学生有明显进步或努力表现，就贴上一枚彩色贴纸。

这就是我的美术课。
愿你收获更多智慧！

It's taken YEARS to get my wall of wisdom.
When I teach, I learn.
I learn that kids are visual creatures. Stuff just sticks better if you show it with a picture. So, all the wise things I have learned over the 15 plus years of teaching I have put into a poster form.
There's still a lot of ideas floating around in my brain, but it takes time to get them all out. I know not all art teachers have time to make their own posters. So i decided a few years back that very time I make a poster, I scan it and put it on TPT (Teacher Pay Teacher) to share the opportunity for other teachers to use it in their classrooms as well. Please visit my store. Here you will download the image of the poster only.
You take that download and print it from your printer, send it to an online photo center and get it shipped to your house, or take you download to a photo store to have printed in house.
My secret? I sign up for CVS and Walgreen photo coupons and wait for a 50% off everything sale. Then I print me some poster. That is how I get all mine down. People always ask me how they print out, are they pix led or high quality? I scan them at home on the highest digital capability on my scanner. so, when you print them big, it looks great too.

I have included a lot of pictures below of how they turn out in real life.
Tired of saying the same thing OVER AND OVER to your students!
JUST A DOT, NOT A LOT!!
I was.
That's why I started making posters in the first place, just for me and my classroom.
But things are so much more peaceful now when I have
posters that say it.
A poster speaks a thousand words, you know.
Go see what I have I store for you and your classroom walls..
Oh, if only walls could speak..
WAIT, they can!

Check it out Yall'.
All of these poster ideas come from 14 years of teaching! I repeat the same phrases, rules or rhymes to my students and it just didn't seem to stick. Then I just started making illustrations of those things and there I was... with a big WALL OF WISDOM! I just keep adding and adding. Now I'm addicted to making POSTERS! I love lettering and illustrating. I love color and details. I love ART!
If you have an idea for a design, something that you have learned or teach your kids, let me know.
It may be my next poster!

As an art teacher, there are things that I am continually telling my students. Things like...
"You are responsible for your own mess", or "Art requires patience above talent!", "There's no excuse for messiness!", "Don't use a waste a new piece of paper when you can use an eraser!".
Instead of repeating myself, I decided years ago to make a "Wall of Wisdom".
It is full of ideas to make your art better or my philosophy of a good art attitude.
This was my old wall of poster...
New wall at new school...
I've went Art Elementary in 2014 ;)
after 10 years of MIddle School
Elementary boys = PAPER AIRPLANES!!!
WHat's the deal? And they are not even CREATIVE!
Maybe if they drew windows with passengers peeking through... or something, but NO!
SO, I have decided to BAN THEM FROM MY ROOM!
"Let your Imagination fly...
NOT YOUR PAPER!" T. Morgan
Kill the dead space!
Fill it up with life, learn to turn!
Dear art student,
I am not impressed by your speed. It's slow and steady that won.
Love,
Mrs. Morgan

I have some kids that get super excited when they are the first ones done with their work.
Being quick is not always a good thing.
Remember the tortoise and the hare?
Sometimes that means they did not take the time to be neat or to complete the work.
So, slow and STEADY wins the race.
Some kids work hard at first, then get tired, then quit doing their best.
If you start neat, finished neat.
Be consistent with your work.
I let kids know on the first day of school,
that I do not grade them based on talent. Nobody can pick their talents when they are born.
I am sure if they had a choice, all students would choose to be artistically inclined.
So, I grade on their "ARTtitude". Do they try, do the fix mistakes, do they improve, do they listen to advice?
Or do they give up, give half effort, or turn work in knowing it could be better?
It takes blood, sweat, and tears. It's about distance vs. speed.
My pet peeve is when kids waste paper!
They put one measly mark down and then throw it away! UGHHHHH!
I want to just throw erasers at those wasters!
So, I made this sarcastic ad for the
NEWEST INVENTION...
THE ERASER!
You don't have to be talented to be neat.
It just takes special care and patience.
All you have to do is a back and forth motion with your hand while holding a crayon...
it's not that hard.
So, I do grade hard on kids who are sloppy. It is just them telling me they don't care.
It's a bad "art"titiude.
In most cases, it is best to color dark. It shows up better, it pops out, and it reveals the true color.
At least if you don't color the inside dark, then emphasize it by outlining dark on the outside.
Plus, coloring darker is harder and more time consuming, which in the end shows more care.
I tell the kids that if the paper is big, draw big.
Fill the space up. The picture is more important than the emptiness behind it.
Drawing bigger allows the artist to include more detail as well.
If you have the room, use it!
Otherwise, you are wasting.
Patience is a virtue...
You have to practice patience while you create art.
When my students work hard by showing patience,
I like to post their work online.
The great educational philosopher Harry Wong said something like this when I saw him speak. I just took what he said and make a poster for it.
I let the kids talk while they work.
As long as they do this responsibly,
But, if they talk more than they work, inhibit others from working because of their talking, or they fail because of their mouth, then they have a problem that needs to be fixed.
Art, the most important meal of the day.
Shhhhhhh!.... Draw secret, soft & light lines if you're not sure in the beginning stages. If you draw hard, yiu make it harder on yourself to fix.
I try to teach kids to avoid putting the too much pressure on their pencils in the beginning stages of drawing.
So many times, they mess up, try to erase, but can't get rid of their original drawing lines.
Then I make them use the back of the paper. If they already did, then I make them erase the lightest side.
I do this to teach them to draw light till they KNOW they have it right.
Kids beat, bang, and drop colored pencils.
This tears them apart!
Then they try to sharpen them and the lead falls out.
It is a horrible result of an abused supply.
I have this to encourage them to treat the pencils like glass.
I keep the markers in a vertical storage tip down.
This allows the flow of the ink to travel to the tip.
It increases the life of the markers.
Some kids do not close the glue. This open hole lets air in and that air hardens the remaining glue under the cap. Then kids think that jabbing a larger hole in a clogged up glue bottle will make it work better.
It will temporarily make it work better for them right then, but in the long run, this massive hole they poked just makes the tip get clogged even more from the extra air that gets in it.
This is a never ending cycle!
Since this annoys me, I made a poster to try to get my point across.
I also get tired of kids not cleaning brushes out. Then the paint dries on the brush, hardens the tip and it is never able to be used again. Or, they do clean it, but leave it with the bristles down. Then it dries bent and is permanently bent.
My are teacher from High School, Mrs. Liddell, had a poster like this one. I liked it, so I made one for my classroom. "Your mamma doesn't live here, so clean up your own mess".
My self made Principles chart...
Self made Elements chart...
Somplified my charts for elementary ;)
I decided to make this motivational poster for my classroom just recently.
I did some research behind it and found the history of the original very interesting.
So, this is my parody of the We Can Do It poster.
Think positive!
Mini Masterpiece wall
(Index card art)
4 kids per table, everybody has a purpose.
Rules and rewards...
Palette of positivity.
Each class has a paper palette that colored stickers are added to for noticeable efforts.
http://tabithaannthelostsock.blogspot.com/2013/04/we-can-do-itart-classroom-encouragment.html
And that is my Art Class.
Hope you are more the wiser!
