Start of Semester
1. How do you envision using art in your classroom?
I envision using art in my classroom in order to help students visualize what they are learning and bring lessons to life through their own art.
2. What do you know about integrated learning / integration?
Integration is including the arts (such as art and music) throughout everyday classroom activities. This helps students to be more exposed to creativity and authenticity during normal lessons.
3. Rate your comfort level in making art, and discuss.

2. I have been exposed to art in many ways, but have never learned much about it or considered myself to be good at making art.
4. Rate your comfort level in analyzing and talking about art, and discuss.

3. It can be difficult for me to discuss art, simply because there are not many specifics that I know about it. It is something that I have not really been taught about.

End of Semester
1. How do you envision using art in your classroom?
In my classroom, I plan to use art in a variety of ways. I want students to have the ability to use their creative minds in any way that they would like. However, I also will find it extremely important to integrate specific art lessons into lessons from other content areas. I want students to be able to eventually automatically see the art in science, math, literacy, etc.
2. What do you know about integrated learning / integration?
Integrated learning is weaving more than one content area into one lesson. Integrating is more than just correlating one subject with another. Rather, both subjects are taught simultaneously and help students to learn and understand in a brand new way.
3. Rate your comfort level in making art, and discuss.

4. I feel comfortable creating a piece of artwork once I have thought about it and begun working. However, I still find it difficult to come up with creative ideas to base my artwork off of.
4. Rate your comfort level in analyzing and talking about art, and discuss.

4. I feel much more comfortable analyzing and discussing art after having learned so much about how to do this with students. Activities such as VTS and discussions about various artists and art types have made more more comfortable conversing about these topics and being aware of ways to analyze.
