Interview Question: If I'm a student in your art class, what can I expect to see or do on the first day?

Students can expect to feel welcome upon entering my art class on the first day. I plan on greeting them as they enter the room. Posters, bulletins, and signs will be all around the room that will address what we will be learning, class rules, and expectations. With a bright learning environment I hope for them to be inspired to learn. 
After they are all seated I will introduce myself, and tell them a bit about myself. I think this is important for all ages to be teaching, so the students get a sense of your personality, your interests and what you're class is going to be about. It's important for them to get a sense of who you are so that they can connect with you on levels other than art.
Ice breaker activities can also be helpful. Students can introduce themselves to the class, say one interesting them about themselves, and what they hope to learn from the class. 
From there, I would go over my expectations of the class, and what expectations they have of me. I want them to know that I consider their opinions and ideas.
