I couldn’t see outside, any natural light, and that was always something that I found really beneficial in my classroom. So I went and was kind of a little discouraged because I had just moved to a new classroom, and I didn’t have any exterior windows. I didn’t create the idea, but I actually saw something very similar and saw people talking about this idea at our awesome state Wisconsin art ed conference in the fall. It did start kind of as just a little idea. So it’s actually become kind of a huge, immersive part of our art show that we have every year. So, I guess, at the beginning, how did you start creating this? How did you get started with doing black light art in your classroom? Tim: We just have these incredible projects, these incredible visuals. Now what I wanted to talk to you about and I think probably the bulk of our conversation today is your article about black light art. It’s kind of this whole ridiculous joke, but also it makes it so that nobody else touches the glitter except for me. It’s like how I distribute glitter in my classroom, so when we use glitter, I put on these glitter fairy wings. My Instagram is ArtRoomGlitterFairy, which has a purpose. Tim: Do you want to do a quick plug for your Instagram too? So I’m really excited to be a part of this community and continue to share as I create new things in my classroom. I’m super excited about it, and I have a lot to share. This is my eighth year teaching, and I just started writing for the Art of Ed. I teach kindergarten through fifth grade art. So I am currently an art teacher in Cambridge Elementary. What I was thinking though, since you just started writing for AOEU and since this is your first time on the podcast, can you just give us a little introduction, kind of tell us a little bit about yourself?
So let’s see what she has to say.Īll right, and Sarah Krajewski is joining me now. So I will bring Sarah on, let her introduce herself to you, and let her tell you all about why you need to be doing black light art in your classroom. She’s got a great article coming out tomorrow, but today we’re going to dive into the ideas that she has in our conversation here.

Like I said, she has got a passion for it and some great ideas on how to get it into your classroom. So go check that out.īut today I want to talk about another topic that Sara’s really passionate about, which is black light art. She suggested a scavenger hunt, so you can take a look at that article for some ideas on how to get that scavenger hunt going, how to get your kids involved in taking responsibility as part of the art show, and just how to add something extra, something more meaningful to your show. Now Sarah had a great suggestion to get people who come to your art show to slowdown and stop and actually look at their kid’s artwork, and maybe not just their own kid’s artwork, but all of the artwork that your students have worked so hard on. You see their family walk in the door, go straight to their one or two artworks, snap a picture, and promptly cruise right out. It talks about how you spend so much time, energy and effort setting up your art show, and the day is finally here. Now she’s already had her debut article published, and it was one that I really enjoyed. As I promised at the end of last week’s episode, today I will have one of AOEU’s newest writers, Sarah Krajewski, joining me today.
I am really excited to welcome a new guest onto the show today, and I think you’re going to like her quite a bit. This is produced by the Art of Education University. Tim: Welcome to Art Ed Radio, the podcast for art teachers.
