These past few weeks have been incredibly busy so I unfortunately didn’t get much time to do art things. I did get to make an art lesson though!

I had a lot of fun making an art lesson. For this lesson we were supposed to try to pick a subject area that was outside of our teachable subjects. We decided on art which I was really excited about. I think art can be incorporated into a really large range of subjects to help teach them, but teaching art itself is something I hadn’t really considered much before. Making blind contours was a great topic because it’s something that everybody can do regardless of their experience in art. It seemed like the class enjoyed it as well, if I could change anything I’d try to schedule in more discussion time. It seemed like everyone just automatically started showing each other their work and talking about it, which is honestly something I’d like to see in an art class. I never took any high school art classes which made art seem a bit scary for me to approach. I didn’t really have any internal reference point for how an art class should look. I think this assignment helped me feel a lot more comfortable talking about art and teaching it. It was really fun to talk about psychology during the lesson as well.
