I allowed talking in class but controlled it with a signal
(a bell) if it got to loud. But, we had totally silent
days when we were drawing from observation. It's important
and reinforces the concepts put forth in "Drawing on the
Right Side of the Brain." Talking is a left brain activity
and interferes with drawing.

Most importantly you must conduct the classroom in a way that
you are most comfortable with.
