Reflection 3

This week i learned how to make learning about illustrators fun! With each illustrator that we talked about we got to see a fun idea of how to incooperate their art styles into our own lives.

I know that with the fun things that i have learned i will be able to take these into my classroom someday and make learning fun and exciting for my kids. This can also help me now as i am preparing lesson plans and giving presentations. No matter what you are teaching you can make it fun an interesting. I can do that by making what i am teaching relate to them somehow, let my kids be creative in how they want to go about a project. The big thing that i have learned is just to make sure my kids know and understand that they are all unique and creative in different ways, that there is not a right or wrong way to portray art. I liked learning about the different styles of the illustrators.

Reflection 2

What? I have learned a lot about visual arts from reading the text as well as attending class. I think one of the big things that i have learned is that the arts are needed when teaching classes. When you incoporate the arts into your teaching, it will help the students learn better. Me as a teacher will also find that my students will be able to express themselves in a creative fun way.
So What? For me as a future teacher means that i will need to work hard and teaching the arts along with the core subjects. For me as a teacher it means that it might take more time making up lesson plans but it will be worth it when the students learn all that they need to.
Now What? Now as being a student i need to really pay attention so that i will know how to teach the arts in my classroom. I always new that the arts were important and good to teach but i have now learned that we need to teach them along with the core material. That is what i will learn and take back to my classroom.
