"This author's essay-and-graphics style lesson presentation keeps grabbing my attention. This is my second listing of one of his free products: a set of ideas of art lessons that will work for students and teachers even when artistic tendencies are not present. A great file to have on hand for those times when students need a break from the schedule or when you find yourself assigned to an unexpected fill-in duty."

I used to hold a workshop called "Do I HAVE to Teach Art? (Teaching Art Made Easy/ier)". It turned out to be more popular than my writing workshop. Teacher attendees came from schools that had no art teacher and they needed ideas. But too many continually sneaked into my workshop and I had to stop it.
I am not an artist, but my school, too, sometimes elected to spend money elsewhere. So, I had to come up with ideas. The curriculum guide was overly detailed and terribly boring, thus I did a lot of researching, thinking and creating. The ideas shared here are just a few of those used with my classes and in my workshop.

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
James Charnock, M.Ed, a teacher of 30 years at the elementary and junior high levels, is the author of many articles (some included herein) that have appeared in teacher magazines and professional journals. THE CREATIVE TEACHER: ACTIVITIES FOR LANGUAGE ARTS (GRADES 4 THROUGH 8 AND UP) is his second book--from which some of his TpT articles came. He has written one other book, MT. HOREB: THE LITTLE WHITE SCHOOLHOUSE ON LITTLE DEER CREEK, about the memories and 180-year history of one of Maryland’s last one-room schoolhouses, which he attended as a primary student; it is also a treatise on the issue of smaller schools. In addition to creating educationally-oriented market products, he was for several years a feature writer for a national reading journal ("The Reading Teacher" of the International Reading Association) and has served on the editorial board of a national English journal ("Language Arts" of the National Council of Teachers of English). He has always preferred the action of the classroom, and as a certified reading-language arts specialist, has also served as a mentor teacher. Former students have honored him four times (less than one-half of one percent of teachers are so honored even twice) by placing him in Who’s Who Among America’s Teachers—“The best teachers in America selected by the best students.†They chose him as “the teacher who made a difference.†He has also been listed in Who’s Who in the East. Mr. Charnock lives in a suburb of Philadelphia where he continues as a freelance writer, often serving as a conference seminar speaker on the teaching of writing and middle school/junior high classroom art. He also volunteers his time to the local chapter of Habitat for Humanity and has taught an adult course in paper art.
