Week 3 Reflection

1. Concepts and terms- 

This week we talked about how you could incorporate rocks and art into different subjects. This goes into the concept of how we can use art in our everyday classrooms when teaching. Some terms that go along with this are... guided instruction, art involving social emotional connections, and mindful painting. We also used a story book as a way to keep us engaged on painting the rocks and not getting distracted.

2. Artwork Evidence-

This project would easily be done by having students get cylinder shaped items (corks, paper towel holders, and many other things) to create different animals that have wings like birds or butterflies. 

This is done by gluing construction paper cut out of wings onto the object and then gluing eyes onto it and decorating them individual to every student. This could be used in a classroom setting to teach a lesson on animals or evolution with caterpillars and butterflies. 

3. Questions- 

How did the activity you attended make you feel? 

- The activity that I attended was rock painting. Rock painting was very exciting and eye opening because we got to be creative but also to put ourselves in the shoes of students doing this activity. I also really enjoyed how we used the rocks for multiple different activities. 

What are your ideas for integrating this activity into curriculum? 

- This activity could be integrated into curriculum by not using rocks, but using any other type of materials. Finding materials that the students can bring from home or find outside is very rewarding because it is each students individual item which holds value.

Week 10 Blog

  Emma Stankovic  Week 10 Blog  Creative Expression  (1)  I think getting to create your own story is very beneficial because you get to use your imagination and your ideas to create a story. You get to be more creative and go in whatever direction you please. However, using the AI to assist writing a story was very helpful when you hit a road block or need to add more context or ideas. I think when using the AI to assist, the story isn't as detailed so you do have to add your own details.  (2) You can use these Ai programs for so many reasons. The first way you could use the AI is to help with lesson plans and to give ideas for an activity or lesson plan. You could also use them to help you build problems for a test such as math or questions on a reading exam. You could also use it with your students to have them tell the students jokes at the start of class, or to have them learn new fun facts. However I dont think that students should have access to AI a...

Week 6 Reflection

  For week 6 we made our food art... For my food art I made an aquarium out of cheeze-its, fruit loops, popcorn, and goldfish, and for the butterfly I used apples, cheeze-its, fruit loops, and popcorn. These types of activities affect the development of children by teaching them how to recycle and to use their creative skills. It also could develop patience and resilience if someone messes up or fails. You could use this activity in your curriculum for may lessons. You could use them for lessons on recycling, nutrition, and science.  Next, we went to the Maltby center to look at the art gallery and museum.    There was two pieces of art that stood out to me at the gallery. The first one was the picture of the old car and tree that when you walked side to side, it shifted from being an old tree to a new tree and an old car to a newer car. I don't remember who made the painting, but it was very cool. The second one I found very interesting was the one with the hands an...

Week 4 Reflection

Emma Stankovic  Reflection-  This week we talked about the importance of music in the classroom. We watched videos from “the sound of music” as examples of ways to get music into the classrooms. We then did an activity with our tables where we had to create the perfect classroom set up to involve music. In our classroom we had a projector for music videos, a music library, and carpet seating with instruments. We then had to come up with a way to add culture into our music classroom. My table came up with the idea to learn a new song once a month for a different culture. After we made the posters we did a gallery walk which was very helpful to be able to hear everyone else's feedback and ideas.  We also watched a video on how a teacher got students to use music and rocks from our last lesson all to create a story with meaning. Artwork- Questions- How might these types of activities affect the learning and development of children?  These activities affect the learning ...
