Reflection 2.

Visual Arts.
What i feel i have learned from our class discussions this past few weeks, or more or less what i take most from it is to know that there is alot of thinking that goes into even the most simple project. I think that people are inspired for their work, but they do have to consider what is pleasing to view. I think that is was really good to go over the basics, such as the elements and principlas of visual art. They help me to have a better understanding. 
So what does this mean to me as a teacher, that's a good question. I think that by understaing these basic principals i can incorperate the elements and principals into more than just art. I would think this would help me do a better job with aot of teaching techniqies. Projects that my children work on can always be in better balance, and rhythm to help creat unity.
Now what I think i take most from our two lessons is that there is alot to learn when it comes to creative arts. Working with my future students will be an amazing oppertunity to impliment the basic principlas and elements into out lessons. I think that it will help our classroom work together. 
Also, this past week we had the chance to work with a group. We did an illistrator assignment, which was kind of fun to see all the different techniques people use. My group worked well, we are so busy that we devided up the assignemnt and did it over google docs, and then collaberated in class. But i felt we all knew our illistrator pretty well and it gave us a chance to work together.

  1. Rachel, I agree with your thoughts about helping students recognize the elements and principles of the arts in various disciplines - when students are given the information and language, they are more able to make sense of their world in all areas.
