What was new learning for you?
I was not familiar with the principles of art, although I was familiar with each of the individual terms, I had never thought of them as a way to organize the elements of art. For example, I learned that unity occurs in art when all elements in an art piece come together to create a pleasing image.
What was review for you?
I was familiar with primary and secondary colors, as well as the color wheel.
How can you apply these concepts to a content area you currently teach?
I can use these concepts while teaching kindergartners about shapes in math. I often focus on geometric shapes, but this has shown me the importance of also teaching kindergartners about organic shapes. I can bring in examples from nature and have students create their own organic shapes while teaching them the difference between geometric and organic shapes.
