What: As an elementary student I remember the teachers that integrated a lot of art in the classrooms. I always loved the projects that we did some sort of art project instead of writing a paper.
So What; I have tried a lot of different types of art forms in my life. Some of the examples are drawing, sewing, painting, singing, dancing, piano, guitar, and more. Art is a fun way to be creative and relax in my life. I loved when teachers would let us try different forms of art in their classroom. Some of the characteristics that were my favorite in a teacher was that they were positive, they showed that they cared about their students, they would respect their students and treat them as equals, and they would do fun and creative activities in the classroom. Some of my least favorite characteristics was that you could tell they didn't show that they cared for the students, they would make fun or belittle students in front of the class, they would be boring and make us do busy work, and wasn't enthusiastic about what they were teaching. I want to be the positive, creative teacher that makes the children want to come to school everyday because they don't know what crazy thing I will come up with next!
Now What: I want to be able to learn all of the ways I can incorporate arts in my classroom. I want to make sure I have fun, creative ideas that will excite the children and I feel like this class will be able to help me accomplish this.
