I just had to say to all those who are thinking about having an art lesson involving paint and Grade 3's. No matter how hard I tried, I still had to stay for an extra hour after school trying to scrub all the desks clean. I didn't have to stay, but the custodian hardly every comes out to clean the portable I am in and the children's desks were just covered with paint and crayon. All of this somehow got on the desks, even though I covered them with newspaper to save myself the hassle of cleaning up after the activity.
The art work turned out great and in the end everyone was happy. I however will be more thoughful and considerate of my after school availability the next time I plan a lesson such as that one. The lesson was fun and everyone enjoyed themselves and got a lot out of it, but I was simply surprised with the amount of cleaning that was to follow. I will be ready next time and I just hope that all of those who are considering to do something new in their art class are considering the extra time that will go into preparing the lessons, material and the cleaning process afterwards.
