to be an Art Teacher Have you ever been to a point in your life where there were to many decisions and not enough time? This is what happened to me in my senior year of high school. Throughout my teen years, I never discussed college with my family or did they with me. College for some reason was not on my agenda. Then I realized that I wanted to go to further my education. The reason I chose to go to college was that I am an artist, and felt that I needed to learn more about art techniques
My Mean Old Art Teacher Mr. Arnold stands smugly by his classroom door between classes, with his arms proudly crossed over his chest as trails of students trample past his art room each day. Many of the passers-by recognize this man simply as "the scary art teacher." Those who have experienced Mr. Arnold's art class first-hand regard him otherwise. I had heard many stories about Mr. Arnold before entering his grueling class. "Most people don't like him," some warned me. Others commented,
so many of my art teachers inspired me to follow my dreams. After hearing Taylor Mali’s poem, What Teachers Make, I knew that I wanted to be a teacher: I want to make a difference. Mali spoke with so much passion as he answered the age old question ‘what do teachers make.’ “I make parents see their children for who they are and who they can be,” this quote really moved me because I think in a lot of situations students’ talents are overlooked by their parents (Mali.) My art teachers always had their

Also during the Renaissance there were many people who used art as a way to record discoveries and inspired people
her quickly as she was late for class. So my first class at CIS was art. I thought this was going to be fun as I always liked art but after the first mind numbing hour I realised that this wasn’t cut out for me. The class itself was fine and the teacher was a fun guy but I had nothing to do other than just watch the other students make their brilliant masterpieces of art. There was one high point and that was when the art teacher told the class that he read an article about a homicidal doctor who
mistaken as being of French origin. In actuality, he was born in 1887 as Charles Edouard Jeanneret in La Chaux-de-fonds, a watch-making city in Switzerland. He left school at age 13 to learn the trade of engraving watch faces. Encouraged by a local art teacher he taught himself architecture, travelling throughout Europe to observe architectural styles.

Starletta and her parents lived in a small cabin with one small bathroom. One day at school a teacher found a bruise on Ellen's arm. She sends Ellen to live with Julia the
Do you believe that there is more than one way to “see” things? If you were given a piece of art to look at, what would you “see”? Would you see the same thing as a three year old, as your friend in Korea, or as your art teacher? Why is it that each person would see the picture differently? Is the picture not the same in each case? Why would each person not see the same thing or interpret it the same way? According to Cole, the way we perceive things in our day-to-day lives is highly due to our education

of my play director. My high school director was very talented in directing plays. He would talk to us as if we were professionals and made us put more into what we were doing. That would be impersonation. When the passage talked about art, I thought of my art teacher who would always design all of the sets and made them look so lifelike. When the passage said that there are more behind the stage workers than on stage workers, I knew that that is very true. We had the front and backlighting, the designing

standardized test. This was because of art. Many children go to a music class or at class at least once a week or every couple of months to learn about art history and to express themselves through it. But, the debate about funding for art and if it should go somewhere “more important” is still being debated. Arts need funding in schools because they help improve other major subjects and school arts offer many jobs for people who want to teach art. First arts need to be funded in schools because
"""Teachers who cause students to fall intensely in love with learning, change minds. A changed mind leads to changed life."" After listing the chapter objectives, Cornett opens with this quote to show her position that arts integration adds meaning in children's academic, social, and cultural lives. She does an efficient job showing that art is a conduit for critical thinking and gives facts on the effects that art has on certain domains - intellectual, social, personal, and emotional. Whether
How art improves our lives Art is a deliberate recreation of a new and special reality that grows from one’s response to life. It improves our existence by enhancing, changing and perpetuating our cultural composition. “The great artist knows how to impose their particular illusion on the rest of mankind,” proclaimed Guy de Mauspassant.

There is this idea that arts in education is not as important as the core classes such as, math science and English.

Art has always been a large part of my life. As a young girl, I always looked forward to receiving kits for watercoloring or a new set of colored pencils. I’d doodle on my papers in class to pass the time. I yearned for opportunities to express my creativity even doing so on poster board projects where I’d spend hours creating borders and framing my information with various colored papers. However, it was not until I began to take art courses at the high school did I recognize the value that creativity
Another Look at Art (A discussion on three messages from W.H. Auden’s Musee des Beaux Arts) In life, people often look at the bigger picture, easily bypassing small, less noticed details. This could include so many different topics and include many different life lessons. The focus of humans has turned to always wanting what you don’t have, and by doing that, only looking and focusing inward. W.H. Auden was observing in a Museum and discovered a very intriguing painting with the title, The Fall
the things that make an art studio. These are the things that make a home. In order to live my dream, a life filled with art, college is where I need to be. Interests came and went over the course of my life but my interest in art never once wavered, and it came to a head during my freshman year of high school when my art teacher saw my passion for drawing and asked me if I ever considered an art career. This took me aback. An art career meant an opportunity for my art to be
