Teaching In, Through, With and about the arts.

Think about what you have learned so far through reading, discussion and class activities and reflect on how your ideas might have changed, things you want to learn about teaching (with, in, about, through) the arts, and why they are important in the education of every child.

Answer:

So far in arts class i have learned what a big impact the arts have on education. Not only do students do better academically when using arts, they also become better in social situations and problem solving. I believe art is a way that every child can express themselves anyway they choose to. Personalities are so different that every child learns differently. By using the arts students can begin to learn individually instead of how the teacher wants or how this particular student learns. I want to learn of some lessons i can do in all subjects that can involve the arts. I also need to be open minded so i can come up with my own lessons.
