Today I walked into the middle of an 8th grade class. They were watching a movie about pop art and were occupying every single chair in the room. 29 8th graders packed into one room. Not my favorite class, to say the least. spent this time kneeling by an empty table listening to the interview I conducted with Mrs. Powers and writing down what was said. One 8th grader thought I was using my headphones to listen to my ipod so he started complaining "why does SHE get to listen to her IPod?!". Oh 8th graders. Today will consists of setting up for the art show, which will be on Monday. This, art show, which will be displaying high school art only, pretty much sums up the entire year in terms of art. It displays all the artwork done by the students throughout the entire year. Because I am Mrs. Powers' assistant, this week has consisted mostly of cutting paper, mounting artwork, and labeling the artwork with people's names. This becomes particularly difficult when students don't write their names on the back of their artwork, so I have to do some detective work to figure out who the art belongs to. Now that I'm into my fourth week of the internship, I've noticed that students are much less hesitant to approach me when asking or advice, which is nice. I also feel like I inspired at least a few of the younger students. They've seen first hand that practice really does make a difference.
