Brushes
All right, I’ve been an art teacher for over 20 years. Brushes seem to be the bane of my existence. I have tried many many different systems so that the brushes the students use are clean, organized and last as long as I can have them. Yeah, most have failed due to two or three students that don’t give a damn in each class. My latest iteration was to put a good set of brushes in zipped pouches numbering the bags, and then assigning a student a number, then each class helped me to monitor the cleanliness of their brushes. So if a student in one class did not clean their brushes properly, the next student that is assigned that bag will let me know, and then I can redirect that student in the previous class re-teach and if they continue, offer them an afterschool detention in which they have to clean all the brushes. That’s been the best system so far but I would like to know from you wonderful people. Is there a system that you use when it comes to brushes and keeping them in tiptop shape and organized so that all students have optimal tools for their paintings thank you.
