You're completely overreacting. This is your opportunity to get experience. Kids see art as a free period, and this time of the year is silly season (decorate classroom, leave early, etc)

Buy some materials, engage the class and nevermind your art therapy or art curriculum.. no one cares. Keep the head down, praise the teachers, the students, the wonderful headmaster, and leave with a glowing reference.

Edit to add: idea for a project. Make a big stupid tree and each student cuts out a leaf from an a4 sheet of copier paper, colours it in the colours of their aura, describe what it means to them, and sticks it to the tree. Ta-da.

Hey thanks for the response. Its actually the requirements of my course that I teach art in line with a curriculum, like if I was a maths or history teacher, id have tot each maths and history. if I dont do this I fail my teaching practice placements and fail my teaching course... so yeah.. I really do care. Also theyre not kids, theyre teenagers, young adults/early school leavers so your idea isnt appropriate.
