Very recently the University of Missouri's Art Education program made some unique changes to their student teaching experience in K-12. Teacher candidates in the past have split their internship time down the middle. 8 weeks at a secondary school and 8 weeks at an elementary school. With the new changes with DESE each teacher candidates now have been given the opportunity to divide the time into 12 weeks of student teaching and 4 weeks as an Artist-in-Residence in a different school. These photographs show what happened during those four weeks at Jefferson Middle School. Where I and the art students in 6th – 8th grade explore a collaboration art project of shibori dyeing and printmaking.
