    HI Sharon and all,
    Yes I have at times worked along side with my students and have enjoyed
    it. You are right that they see another side to us . It has also
    allowed me to also see another side to the students as well, either from
    simple converstion or discussing their work. And (depending on the
    class) often there is a calmness in the room ,even though I'm not
    "policing"
    I also display a piece of my art in the room each year. I usually change
    the piece every so often. I get a kick out of the comments from the
    students like...... You (?) painted that- WOW!
    I laugh and tell them, "Oh, ya , I took a few art classes in my days".
    It is important for the students to see the artist side of you. There is
    another level of respect.
