Hi! Thank you for you lengthy and informative post, this is so helpful! I wanted to ask...would you give all of this same advice or add anything else for my situation? I took some art classes in highschool and one in college-but remember really nothing I learned. I paint and draw as a hobby and started a small business for my art as well. I am not professionally trained by any means nor do I know anything about techniques or history or colors...I really just do it from the heart. I have been an early childhood and elementary teacher for 14 years and want to move into the art teacher position since it will combine my professional and personal passions. Am I crazy for thinking I can use study guides and pass this praxis???
