You might recognize Sarah Krajewski (better known as @artroomglitterfairy<\/a> in the social world) from a piece we recently wrote about our favorite art teachers to follow on Instagram<\/a>. An 11-year veteran teacher and recipient of the 2019 Wisconsin Art Educator of the Year award, she knows how to make art meaningful to her young students.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you had an extra $500 to spend on supplies and\/or wish list items for your class, what you would buy?<\/strong>
\nI’d purchase diverse books for our classroom library and more building manipulatives. When our students finish their art steps for the day, they have multiple free-choice stations to choose from such as reading, sketchbook drawing, and building!<\/p>\n

Why did you go into teaching art?<\/strong>
\nI want to give my students an opportunity to cultivate a love of creativity. I enjoy supporting my students as artists to create meaningful connections with them mentally, emotionally, and artistically.<\/p>\n

What is your favorite school supply and why?<\/strong>
\nI enjoy all neon art materials, such as neon oil pastels, crayons, and paints! Neon art materials are especially awesome because you can shine a blacklight on the artwork and create a glowing art show!<\/p>\n

What is the biggest challenge you\u2019ve faced in your teaching career?<\/strong>
\nThe biggest challenge I\u2019ve faced was leaving my first school position after four years to work at a new school. Transitions can be so difficult and emotional, even though they can also be exciting. Not surprisingly, teaching during a continuing pandemic has quickly overtaken the challenge of switching to a different school. Now, prioritizing my own self-regulation takes the cake as my current biggest challenge.<\/p>\n

Do you have a favorite project you do year after year with your students?<\/strong>
\nOne of my favorite projects is a kindergarten self-portrait lesson called “I am an artist”. During this lesson, students work with many different materials such as paint and oil pastel to create an abstract background design. Then, I photograph and interview each of the kindergarten artists to learn all about them! Finally, they attach their interview sentences and photos to their artwork to make a fun self-portrait collage!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
