2. I observed Chartiers Valley High School and National Cathedral Middle School for my
art room observations.
I was very curious about National Cathedral school because this was my first time
observing art classes in a private school

3. The demographics for these two schools were different, one was a public school and
the other was a private school.
I was very interested in seeing how the art room was run in a private school.

4. CVHS experience
Both classrooms were almost the complete opposite of each other, CVHS’s art
room was much more messy but the main area where the students worked
was relatively tidy, it was also inspiring to be around so much artwork
6. Student projects in CVHS classroom
The quality of work in the high school art room was very impressive
7. Student projects in NCMS
Mrs. Zwelling’s projects seemed more specific and she posted many directions
for them. These pictures are for a projects where they had to write
“operating instructions for their “model”, which was a robot version of
themselves.
11. Both classrooms were
different but both
encouraged creativity and
for students to work
together to come up with
ideas for their projects.
Above all, they both
stressed the importance of
skill and also using one’s
imagination.
