After completing field work and nearing the end of the semester, I have a greater appreciation for my elementary school teachers who did integrate art into the classroom. I have always loved to draw but never thought much about it until this semester. I had a great experience in field and hope to continue to integrate the arts into my teaching. It was so much fun to see the students singing for the Veteran's Day celebration at UVU even if it was cold. They really enjoy music, drawing, and painting.
As a future teacher, I want to instill in my students a love for all of the arts. I want them to know what it feels like to finish a really great drawing or painting, to play music for an audience, and to become a character they normally would never be. My hope is that my students will walk away from my classroom with the desire to do everything and to have the tough decision of choosing what classes to take in junior high and high school.
