My idea of Creative Arts is totally different from when I first started attending class. Although some of the elementary schools provide specialty classes for Art and Music, students can participate in more activities. Time is very valuable for teachers, but I learned in Creative Arts that the benefits outweigh the costs. There are many ways that the arts can be implemented into lessons and teaching. If you use arts as a part of the lesson, you are actually using time more wisely and effectively.
When I went to Field, I planned lessons for my 5th grade students. I found it easy to include arts in the activities and the students were appreciative of them. I think they will remember the lessons better because of the drama and visual arts activities that I included in them.
I plan to use the many forms of art when I become a teacher such as Drama, Creative Movement, Visual Arts, and Music. We have learned many ways to use picture books to integrate the arts. I have enjoyed the activities we participated in in class and I plan on using these ideas in my classroom. It will be beneficial to my students and they will be able to have fun while they learn.
