Graffiti Book Sketches My little graffiti artist- what to do?
I have a student who insists on not leaving a blank space, anywhere! He draws on his notebooks, Algebra workbook, assignments...no space is left unturned! It is a little invasive, to me. I do not care to stifle his creativity and I appreciate his artistic genius. However, it has become a distraction and a bit of an eye sore in my classroom. I would love to find a decent and solution-focused way to resolve this. I have thought about buying him a sketch book and setting limits. Will this help or will his artisitc creativity refuse boundaries? I do not care to use means such as detention or sending him to the assistant principal. We have tried a heart to heart...it worked for about a week.
get him a seperate book and tell him that you don't mind if he want to sketch in it but as long as he still pays attention.if he is doing graffiti tell him he wont have time to sketch a full piece anyway and he can do his outlines at home.tell him this is the last resort and you are sorry but if he can't comply with this then you will have to speak to his parents!
