Start of semester
1. How do you envision using art in your classroom?
I envision using art in my classroom by seeing my students be creative and using their imagination, so I plan to use a lot of hands-on projects within the different content areas to help express their individuality. I hope to learn more during this class to see what and how to integrate art into my classroom.
2. What do you know about integrated learning / integration?
I am not really familiar with integrated learning/integration. I think integration is about incorporating different disciplines within the classroom and subjects.
3. Rate your comfort level in making art, and discuss.
Uneasy 1 2 3 4 5 Comfortable
I do not feel as though I am creative. I enjoy doing things off of Pinterest, but having required tasks and performing gives me anxiety not being artistic.
4. Rate your comfort level in analyzing and talking about art, and discuss.
Uneasy 1 2 3 4 5 Comfortable
I am not very knowledgeable about all the art terminology and inferring what the artist is trying to say in their piece, therefore makes me very uncomfortable not knowing what I am talking about.

End of semester
1. How do you envision using art in your classroom?
- I envision using the art projects that do not take up a lot of time and are simple enough that I can use what I have in my classroom. Any of the projects we did in class I would consider using for my classroom. I think that art can be implemented multiple ways throughout different lessons and content areas.
2. What do you know about integrated learning / integration?
- From what I learned in this class, integrated art within lessons that are simple and not very time consuming into the general education classroom. This can consist of projects, analyzing pieces (VTS), or even learning about the history of the artists that can be integrated through social studies. Art is a way to get the students engaged and interacting with the lesson.
3. Rate your comfort level in making art, and discuss.
Uneasy 1 2 3 4 5 Comfortable
- After taking this class my comfort level has risen. I think that this class gave multiple suggestions on what you can incorporate into the classroom that will be simple and not very time consuming.
4. Rate your comfort level in analyzing and talking about art, and discuss.
Uneasy 1 2 3 4 5 Comfortable
- My comfort level with analyzing is around a 3. I am still not completely comfortable discussing and analyzing art because I still don't feel that I know very much about art. However, I think that VTSing helped find meaning in art that would be easy to incorporate into the classroom.
