Assignment #5

I integrate art into my lessons daily because I teach students with behavior disorders and a lot of the time they really enjoy having a creative outlet. They enjoy coloring for its therapeutic nature and they also like creating what I refer to as "vision boards". I hope I learn other ways to incorporate art into my classroom from this course. Those videos were a great start. I already have them cut out pictures from magazines of dream houses or dream vacations. They love that kind of stuff.

Mindy,

Great idea with the vision boards! This would be something great for me to do at the beginning of the year or start of each quarter with my students. Allow them an outlet to express their goals for class. I feel students would be much more engaged in creating a vision board than just writing down their goals on a piece of paper. It also I feel would be more meaningful and allow them to remember their goals.

Thanks for the idea!
