What?
This week I learned a lot about the principles of art. The one that I loved the most was balance. I am very ocd about things being straight and centered but I found myself liking the assymetrical paintings more enjoyable. I also liked the different styles of the different artists that we learned about in class. It was fun to see what different things could be done with watercolors.
So What?
As a future teacher, I can prepare by not only doing research about different artists and their styles but visiting an art gallery, reading the books they may have illustrated, and trying to duplicate their styles myself. I will be able to get a feel for how they create their works of art.
Now What?
This will be important for me and my students because if I know first hand about each painting and the artist who made them, I will be a better teacher and my students will learn better as well. They will have more confidence in themselves as artists.
