Reflection #2 - Visual Arts Part One

What: This week in class, I really enjoyed learning about the elements of art. Of course I had been introduced to these before, but I had never examined them through the eyes of an elementary student. By completing the projects demonstrated in class, I was able to try and determine how a young student might interpret this form of visual arts.
So What: As a teacher, I can definitely see how the concept of the elements of art could be a difficult and perhaps boring one for young students. I loved the way we were able to use engaging art projects to learn about each element. The projects we completed in class were something I can definitely imagining using in my own classroom and it also made me curious about what other projects for elementary students I could find pertaining to the elements of art.
Now What: The more I learn about teaching art, the more excited I become to incorporate it into my own classroom one day. I find that so far in this class, I am constantly wondering how I can learn more about art. I have become excited to do my homework and complete my own art journal that will hopefully assist me with teaching art in my own classroom one day. Most of all, it is fun to get back to being an elementary student and completing my own art projects.
