was busy for the past 1+ week...update update and update now....
hahaha, well, lesson havent started here for me yet. but i was asked to brainstorm on how to teach and the tasks are given, like the fist task is to conduct an observation drawing lesson with myself doing demonstration in the beginning. And have to find things that i want them to draw and i believe at the same time, i shld find a thing that i am capable of drawing as well -_-''' if not will be super paiseh. the sup is like mr low's friend so u can imagine his age and of course, ppl like them in the old days have gone through very firm fundation years of drawing, esp for him who was educated in poly, so very skill based ( very unlike to ms lu), so i have to live up to his expectations i guess. He asked me to show my olvel and alevel prep to the students and him, so i showed, he was pretty impressed (to a small extent i guess ) but can see he likes the chicken that i painted...olevel prep de, then he also likes the board that was full of jiayi's faces, and he said that is a very good board, so guess he's the kind who goes for skill, quality than ideas and concepts...=/....
oh he also told me to do demonstrations as often as possible, so as to sharpen my own drawing skills too, in one way it benefited the students as they will be motivated to work hard in order to achieve your standard(provided i do a gd job on the demo), also, theyll respect you more, and in another way, it ensures that you get drawing pratices too so your skills wont become rusty...quite true right? well, my sup, even though he's funny, humourous, mr low's gd friend, but can see he's the more organised and step by step type, fiercer, more discplined and very serious when it comes to work, unlike superman low who seems to have done his things in a joking way (but im not saying he's not serous abt his work la, just different style, one more relaxed while the other is more tense...:( )
in terms of skills, the students here are of course, like what my sup says, not like 'us' meaning not like him and i who are 'born with the skill' -_-''' okay...he's kinda as ego as low but both of them have the substance to be egostical. some students really struggles to get their shapes and outlines right, and i only tch sec 3,4,5 stu cos my sup is the HOD who teach the upper sec..and well, still, i did see a few who are kinda talented who juz need more drillings. the lessons here are much more organised than what i had back in dhs or nj, im not sure if it is because of the tcher's working style (cos u know, mr low is the relax kind while LPG, lu, are the kinda self centered dun care type), have lessons and will scold them and tell them classroom rules every lesson. the studetns are very quiet during class, quite concentrated.mr muhammad made them bring 4B pencil and A3 paper every lesson, and a portfolio huge file to file up every excercise they do, without it one cannot get into artroom ( s far havent happened yet, everyone brought their stuff) then lesson will begin with observation drawing, very good foundation setting training, i wish we had these more often in dhs or nj...rmb that i were just crazily dancing and playing in dhs and nj most of the time? and also, they have to address me as ms wang (most of them juz call me tcher when my sup is not with me) then...
oh ya, when i showed them my preps, yeah...they are impressed but when i start asking them questions, they will be very sian, even friendly chats they also wont reply u...im kinda worried that may be im not suitable as a tcher, and also, im not loud enough, the classes are big, there's 2 artrooms to cater them...then i will only be tching the normal acad and normal tech classes, ysd my sup told me abt a boy in my class who din go to sch for the entire whole last yr, so to be extra patient and careful with him...and one thing im not used to it was that, everytime my sup introduces me, he will talk abt my bg like how 'ms wang is diff from all of you, she's from a very good sch, dunman high, do u all know dunman high? and she graduated with 10 points...very good grade, with art A1, and went on to do AEP in NJC...NJC do you all know???......) yeah, things like that that makes me super paiseh....=/..kk...gotta go observe class le...5periods continuous..:(
