My favorite class
My favorite class this semester so far definitely has to be Visual and Performing Arts Methods taught by Rachel Payne. It is a class all about how to integrate art into the classroom in more than one subject area. Such as science, social studies, math and english.
Most people can’t come up with an easy arts project to put into science other than coloring graphs but with the technology available to teachers today, there are countless opportunities. For not just crafts projects, but also dances, songs and more. Such as coming up with a song about the various biomes and creating a presentation for it.
That is why I am so excited about this class because I never had the opportunity in school to take art as a stand alone class by itself with an arts teacher and the more I learn about how art helps students understand more complex subjects, the more excited I am to teach it.
