I have learned that visual art is really interesting. I have never been one that is into art but the projects we did in class last week and participating in the activites for the author illistrator assignment were really fun!
What that means for me as a teacher is that I need to cooperate art into my teaching. You can make anything into art and I think kids would really like that! I mean, I am 24 years old and I loved these last two week's project! As for me as a person, I think I am going to like art a little better now that I have a better understanding for it.
This has made the way I look at art differently because I realized that you don't have to be this amazing painter, sculptor or drawer, to be a good artist. This will change the way I teach my future students because now I have a better understanding and I am beginning to enjoy it. And it would be hard for me to teach something that I really do not enjoy.

Reflection #1
My own personal experience with the arts would be in the category of music and dance. I played the viola for 7 years but quit when I started high school because I really didn't like my teacher. It makes me sad to think that I gave up a talent like that tall because of how one person made me feel. I also have dance from the age of 5to when I was 17. I quit my competition team I was on the summer before I started my senior year of high school because I felt it would be way more fun to spend i with my friends.
As with education, I feel like my teachers always Incorporated them into their lessons but i don't ever remember going to any type of class except music and that may have only been for 1 year.
Since I have been out of high school I don't really feel, or may have not notice, the arts as much. I feel like I have lost those talents i once had.
Characteristics of my favorite teacher was that she made me feel like we were friends and she was my friend. She was always so kind and I feel like she spent extra time with me to make feel like I was important, even if she did do it with all the other students. I didn't have alot of friends in elementary school and when i was around her I always felt like I had a friend. The worst teachers i had just stood at the front of the class, where everyone had to be totally silent and couldn't even breathe or you would be in trouble. I hated the classes where we had to stay in our seats and not be able to move a muscle. i don't think that is a good way for teachers to teacher.
When i am a teacher I want to be everything my favorite teachers were and everything my other teachers were not. I want to be the teacher that had my students know I love them and care for them.
In this semester I hope to come out of my shell a little more. Ever since I became a mom i feel like i have been way more outgoing and alot less shy. Growing up it was so bad, i never wanted to even open my mouth because I thought i would say something stupid but now, even if i did, i wouldn't care!
I will prepare to teacher and integrate the arts by example of others and with my own personal ways. Another teacher said that all teachers do, is steal each others ideas. So hopefully one of mine with be good enough someone would want to steal!
