What speaks to me?  I have been enhancing my regular curriculum assignments with art for a long time; however, I look forward to now integrating art into other areas of the curriculum with the help of the regular classroom teachers.  
Does it give me any ideas?  Yes, I am going to begin gathering those visuals so that students can begin the dialogue and appreciation of pieces.  I feel that perhaps I have been a product of the lack of education about really looking into an art piece.  I love that students come with the ability to use their visual skills, and I am excited to teach them to use dialogue to tell about their observations.
How do you integrate art in your current curriculum?  I have been a regular classroom teacher for many years.  I now have the opportunity to be the art educator for grades K - 8.  I look forward to being the expert that the teachers count on me to be, but to also let them know that I am ready to work together to integrate art into the classroom subjects.  It should be an exciting year!
Other reactions?  I love that we all have our own unique way to perceive things.  It will be fun to develop in myself and my students the skills to share those observations with others.  A great way to learn acceptance in others.
