Ep. 038 - Don't Tell Your Family! Confessions of a Dangerous Art Teacher

What exactly can you get away with in your art room? Tim and Andrew dish about the dangerous things they've done in their classroom, and why taking risks can lead to better learning and even more artistic results. The guys discuss safety, supervision, and the importance of pre-teaching when you use these materials (7:45). They also address when to take risks and when to play it safe (12:00), as well as balancing the benefits of dangerous artworks vs. the drawbacks that come with risk-taking (14:00).  Resources and Links: Luke Nielsen's video that Tim mentioned on Painting with Fire How to Throw Things at Your Students (And Get Away With It!)
