Venola, Penelope – SchoolArts: The Art Education Magazine for Teachers, 2012
Popular culture is a relatively new area of study in the artroom, and combining it with the demands of a rigorous curriculum requires some thought.

Reichert, Laura – SchoolArts: The Art Education Magazine for Teachers, 2011
Art educators know all too well that teaching kids how to "see" the world around them and render life as they see it is a monumental task. Many students, when left to their own devices, even at the sixth-grade level, still draw familiar symbols for common objects because it is in their comfort zone to do so, and because it is easier and faster.…

Oil pastels offer many advantages. They come in a large range of hues, intensities and values, and they lend themselves to blending and shading in a unique way that no other art medium offers.
