  INTRODUCTION A classroom hasno sink and water supply nearby so the teacher provided a big water container so that students won’t have to walk far to replace water for painting and cleaning their areas. Sta. Cruz Elementary School, Ilocos Sur

  All of thesehave to be considered when planning your lessons. Make sure that all of these are addressed no mater how fun the activity might seem or you will end up in chaos. That is why a lot of teachers do not do fun activities because most of them require a lot of preparations and considerations to keep the room clean. When deciding to push through with an activity, you have to consider these questions:
• 4.
  Questions to consider Areyou working on the desk tables, long tables, or the floor? Can the tables get painted or should you cover them with plastic or newspaper? Are you allowed to mess up the floor or should you be very careful for paint drips? If you are using paints, do you have water supply, like a sink, buckets of water, or dump in your room?
• 5.
  Questions to consider Whereare you going to throw your dirty clay water to prevent clogged sink? Does your room have ample lighting? Big windows with natural light (drawing and painting) or lamps? If you are using acrylic, oil or spray paint, does your room have proper ventilation? Can you work outdoors?

  Questions to consider Doyou have proper waste disposal bins for messy paint or big stuff? Will you be having your own room? Or are you an Art- in-the-cart where you will be traveling room to room?

  Manage time wisely. Beprepared. Set a routine. CREATE A SYSTEM.

  One factor thatall teachers are struggling with is time management, in preschool art classes on average only last for 30 minutes, while elementary classes last up to 45 minutes, This is a problem especially for those who do not have their own room because they have to set up an "atelier" for every session. Some teachers such as I, do that. You should have a system for how to set it up as fast as possible through the help of your students. Another important thing is the time to clean up which takes around 5-10 minutes if not planned properly. Being an Art-in-the-cart teacher * is very challenging because you really have to make sure everything is organized. Sometimes we tend to forget something from the storage or from the previous room and it takes a lot of time to get it. It happens a lot. For some teachers, they only have 40 minutes for a whole session. That is like 10 minutes to set up and 10 minutes to clean up and sort the artworks and materials leaving only 20 minutes for the actual work. This is ideal for preschoolers but too short for grade schoolers.

  This is achallenge because some kids take time to be "in the zone" where one is focused and so engrossed with their work but when the time comes that they are at the peak of their creation, it is time for the next subject. However, for us teachers, time allotment is out of our control so we have to make the most out of it. Routine and delegation are key factors.

  Logistics is avery important consideration in teaching art. In the art world, postproduction is a major part of the creation process. Artworks, just like materials should be stored properly This is one of the parts I struggled the most as an art teacher. Begin with the end in mind. Afterworks: Postproduction. If you do not have a teacher assistant and proper storage for the artworks, these would pile up and you will have a hard time keeping track of which class do these belong to. If a vertical file is not available in your room, you can talk to the homeroom teacher and ask if the works can be dried on the floor in one corner of the room. Once dried, the teachers can place it in their folders. I also have rainbow file where I store artworks per section. However, you have to empty and distribute it every quarter so it won't pile up. This is important especially when drying glue or watercolor to avoid drip marks. But be careful for wet glue parts as they can get stuck together.

  In planning yourclass, you have to consider these questions: How will the artwork be stored? What about unfinished artworks? Is it going to be posted on the wall, inserted in students' folios, framed, shared to everyone online, or brought home? Is there a safe drying area in your room to dry the students' works flat? Can you store them vertically? 1 3 2

  How will youdocument works for assessment? Conducting an art class is like preparing for a battle: getting information about your students, assessing available materials, and learning how to maneuver the space to your advantage. These are all important considerations in instructional planning in order to have a more efficient, fun, engaging, and stress-free art class.

  CONCLUSION Teaching art isa balancing act of time, space, and materials, but at its heart, it is about giving children the joy of creating. With careful planning, clear routines, and a little creativity from the teacher, even the challenges of limited time or moving from room to room can be turned into opportunities. In the end, what stays with the students is not just the artwork, but the experience of expressing themselves freely and discovering the artist within.
