Laura and Matt GrundlerPaul Kretchmer
What!? Rules!? Don’t be alarmed, this week’s guest, Art Educator Paul Kretchmer, explains—“We live in a world that is about relationships. ‘Rules’ are guides you can use to build those relationships.” Paul joins The Creativity Department to discuss a set of tips he’s coined “Happy Art Teacher Rules.” Among the rules, you’ll find Amplify Student Voice, Celebrate Diversity, and Prioritize Equity. Having guidelines in the art room can set the tone for the school year, Paul’s were made to help create a positive, supportive, and friendly environment for students. With guidelines in place, the art room is a place where students openly share ideas and help shape their artistic journey.
