Art
I have had many experiences with art in my life. I have always been more of a creative, right-brained person. I was the child who took my moms camera and took millions of pictures. (and in those days it was film, not digital.) I also made many many art projects as a child/young adult. I was always creating something. I took photo in high school, and another art class. When I got to college I took several Humanities classes as well as the art for elementary teachers class. I loved it! It was so much fun to learn about how children learn about art and also how to teach them. I was also a musical child, talking piano for 8 years. I am no longer very musical, but I did take the music for teachers class last semester. It was a struggle for me, because I am not a singer AT ALL, but I made it and I learned a lot about myself.
I am very excited for this class, to learn more about art and children.

  1. Ashley, I'm glad your mom let you use her camera! And I am excited to see how you continue to develop your skills in teaching and integrating all of the arts.
