Take a Seat – Chairs vs. Stools in the Art Room

As if art supplies weren’t distraction enough for our students, the clanking, screeching and tipping of furniture in the art room can drive a teacher batty. Some teachers prefer chairs for art room seating. Others prefer stools. Many of us think the grass is greener and WISH we had something different. I talk about both options and my thoughts on the matter in this video.

Which option do you have, or WISH you had?
