Those ones may be the direction you want to go in. Listen to them all, you never know what direction the right idea for you may come from. I don't very often experience this, but I think before a teacher allots time for a project is the best time to speak with the artist. If your school is able to plan with artists prior to the start of a school year, then you have the advantage of having done brainstorming around what disciplines may work best for your various curriculum areas. There is funding to interview artists before any hiring decisions have been made.
Planning is crucial to the overall success of any project.
Take advantage of planning time built into the artist day. For each six hours of instruction, there are three planning and evaluation hours, although if a project involves a lot of preparation this has to be taken into account too. Come to the initial planning session with your mind wide open to possibilities. As an artist I can't contribute in a meaningful way with ideas and fresh points of view to a project that has been completely planned prior to the teacher speaking with me. I don't think I should plan completely for you as an artist, but that we should plan together.
