Visual Arts reflection #5

I never thought that there were so many different kinds of art. I always knew that there were many different techniques but never payed attention to them.

In class, I think that everyone had a different type of childrens art. There was paper-ripping, pencil/shading, permanent marker with water color, just water color-no previously drawn lines, ect...

We tried all of these different types of visual arts and I found that some of them were frustrating to me and others came more naturally because I was just having fun with them and not trying to hard to make them perfect.

We learned that some children don' t like art because they say that it's not how they wanted it to turn out but maybe, have learned all of these other techniques, I can introduce all of them and then the students can choose which way they want to create their visual art for a project or something.

I think that settin up different stations and letting the kids experiment with what they like best will prove to be successful. It may even allow the students to gain a better self-efficacy and believe that they can do many things just in a different way than someone else. Thus causing grades to go up or at least improve because the students will be more excited about school because they'll know that they can achieve something that they may have thought differently about before.
