 Where am I heading with the Arts and Arts Integration?


I am headed to years of creative and fun learning for myself and my students. It has been so interesting to learn all of the different elements of art that are so easy to integrate into education, but then to go and be in the classroom and see how arts brings education alive to the students was the best part! I love the idea of keeping students attention while teaching with something other than technology! Even though I know it is a great tool, I believe technology can't be the only thing we use to keep learning fun for our students. That's were creative arts comes into play as not only a tool to make things more exciting, but it adds a whole new skill for students to master.
Creative Arts will most defiantly be a staple in my teaching. I won't need to try to find time to add it to my lessons, but instead will use it simultaneously as a tool that will enhance my students learning.
