Journal entry: New teaching philosophy#LearnedObservations Most of my ideas regarding my teaching philosophy list has remained the same. I changed a couple of things regarding the clarification of words and things that I would like to see happen or initiate into my own classroom. I added the use of open choice and Ideation, these ideas were very prominent this semester and I enjoyed the idea of them in a classroom environment. I added exploration as well, since I found with my time at the elementary school, and high school the students really enjoy and take a liking to having time to explore their materials before they are asked to utilize them in a project. The next two things that I added where critiques and conversations after projects and an open student/teacher communication. Both these ideas have come from my time at the high school in my 450 class, one that I don't see happening that I wish happened more often to benefit the students abilities to look and talk about artwork. And the other is one I see from the high school students and the teacher, they have an open communication regarding how the process of their artwork is going, if they need more time, are confused, or even if they just need to talk about life, the teachers have that open communication with students.
The things that i didn't change where just because I had already had a clear understanding as to why I wanted them part of my philosophy. Music because with every art class i've seen since ive been observing the art room, there has always been music. At the high school level its more open, students can work to their own music while the teacher plays age appropriate music. I have relaxed being at the top of my list because I personally don't feel that art or the creation of art should be stress inducing for students young and old, young adults, adults and elders alike. Art is about being free and feeling like you can create anything, without limits or restraints of creativity. The use of art to represent this idea of a change in teaching philosophy you can explore the use of having to correlating yet different artworks, one with the original ideas and one with the new updated ideas. The different types of material when I think about a changed or related change from one thing to the next, in my brain I link it to fiber art. The use of yarn and weaving is a movement from the start to finish yet you can't go back after a certain time so you just change what was messed up from the beginning to the next portion of the artwork. I would have a link between the two art pieces in the areas that changed and got better from one to the next, having a piece of yarn connecting the two artworks, showing the connection yet that they aren't still together. Exhibits the idea that they were once related through the same idea or topic yet now they are distant. My path still hasn't changed from the first time that I wrote about my journey, ive just added different elements and things that i've seen that I can see myself doing because i see the outcome from students is greater than what I had envisioned.
