What speaks to you?
These were very good videos with some great information. One aspect that really spoke to me was how humans have a strong useable sense of seeing things that are around them. People look all around them to find information in things that we see, yet, the school systems typically do not use this skill for educating.
Does it give you any ideas?
This does give me some ideas. Visuals can be used to enhance learning, and they typically are through pictures in textbooks, and other references we use for learning. Perhaps using art from different time periods would be helpful to further teach history lessons. This could be done through video, pictures online, or even by touring an art gallery. Art displays a specific mood, much like the kids in the video's were noticing, this could be used to show what type of state our country was in at a specific time.
How do you integrate art into your current curriculum?
One way that I have integrated art is in a math class I teach. Students were learning about transitions and reflections. They use a grid to make specific designs. When they made reflections they could see that the shapes made were isometrical. We made this work along with their names. Each letter of their name was a different point on the grid, they would draw lines from point to point, then plot the reflection. They would color each grid and each design was specific to their own name.
Other reactions?
These videos made me want to incorporate more visual learning through art. I want my students to use the visual skills they have and learn from their surroundings.
