I learned not
only about myself but I learned so many things about art as a whole. I learned many
new things about music. Strengthened my knowledge for theater. Plus found a new
appreciation for visual arts. This class opened my eyes to many new things. Without
this class I would not of enjoyed this semester as much as I did.
I consider myself a creative thinker. To me being a creative thinker means I
never stop learning. Everyday I’m learning new things, especially in this class. I
learned so many things I’ve never heard of before. Some of the new things I learned
I really enjoyed. Some on the other hand not so much. But being able to learn new
things good or bad will always impact your life. I learned things I can’t wait to use
when I’m a teacher and something we did I hope to never do again. But that’s a part
of life and a part of becoming a creative thinker.
The first section we worked on was the music section. It was probably the
shortest section but it was probably the section I thought the most in. If I had to pick
one class that helped grow is the class with Leland Clark. Leland talked to us about
the history of music. Music has come a long way and I never really noticed until
Leland told us. He talked a lot about sampling and how it’s all around us. It’s weird
to see parts of songs my mom use to listen to become a part of my songs I listen to
today. My mom always use to tell me when a part of a song, but I never believed her
till now. Everything he said that day is true and I believe it will be true forever.
The second section we worked on was the theater section. I’ve been a theater
nerd as long as I could remember. But during this section we talked a lot about
theater professionals. The one who stuck out most to me is our day with Wendy.
Directing a show is a theater dream of mine. As Wendy talked about her experience
as a director and it made the dream of directing to me more real. She gave us some
great times and stories of personal experiences that I will always keep me.
The final section was the visual arts section. I was really not into visual arts
until I took this class. The class I liked the most was the painting class with Erica. I
never have painted before but it was the most fun I have had in a long time. It was so
relaxing and it will be a fun activity to do with students one day. This activity would
be a great lesson to help students learn their colors.
I was so glad I got put into this class. I honestly learned a lot. I feel like being
in this class will help me in the long run. Not only in my personal life but my
professional one as well.
1. Liz’s version of the Muffin Man song- I could see
myself using this in a classroom one day. I want to
be a first or second grade teacher. At that age
learning words and letter sounds are very
important. Liz’s activity will be very helpful and it
is very easy to change the words depending on the
letter I would be using.
