• What was new learning for you?
While going through the slide shows and websites, there were some new terms that I learned that go with art.  The first being that there is rhythm and movement in art.  I never would have thought of using the term rhythm to describe art.  But rhythm can be shown in art by making the observer think that the art is moving.  I also enjoyed learning about the color wheel.  I had no idea about chromatic neutrals or analogous colors.  Now I can use them in my art lessons when teaching.  
• What was a review?
There were quite a few things that were a review for myself when going through the slides and websites.  One was all the different kinds of lines that are out there.  I had already done many lessons with my students dealing with lines.  The color wheel set up was a review for myself.  One of my favorite projects that I do with my students deals with making a color wheel picture.  
• How can you apply these concepts to a content area you currently teach?
I am currently teaching 4th grade in a small catholic school so I teach my own art for my students. After having the review of the terms, I find it so important to use the terms with my students.  Also it has given me so many project ideas of how we can show each of the terms in a project each week.  Then at the end of the year, we can do projects that involve them all!
