I believe that I am heading in a positive direction with the arts and arts integration in the classroom. This semester I have really been able to see how powerful the arts are as a learning tool, and I cannot wait to try some of the things I have learned with my own classes. I believe that integrating arts can solve a lot of the problems that are faced in today's classrooms. The arts help children learn so many valuable and useful lessons not only about the core, but about life as well.
I will not be one of the teachers who prints off an outline of an art project and has the kids create something that looks exactly like the example. I want my students to know the joy of creativity. I know from experience how powerful the arts are and I want my students to be able to experience all forms. I have loved being able to learn about them this semester and I am so glad to have the toolbox I have created this semester. I know the lessons that have been learned this semester will help me to be a better teacher.
