Week 7 Reflection

 In class Monday my group did our little report on Bob Ross. But Wednesday is when the real fun started when we started our parody art. My parody art is based on "A Starry Night" and I changed it by just taking out the building and adding a green hill where animals are looking at the sky. All you see is the back of cats, dogs and a few rabbits looking over something similar to the orginal painting. I could only do my sketch the first day and start painting the grass so I get to finish the sky and the animals Monday. 

Some ways to redesign this project I think the simplest is to pick an artist and then people would create a parody of one of that artists piece of art. It could make it little more challenging  and can give the opportunity for people to learn more about that artist. 


The activities this week made my week better. It was a fun activity and allowed me to learn more about artists and their artwork. I always color as a was to destress so to actually do it in a classroom really helped me relax.

I think a way to introduce children to different artists is by giving them a small talk about a certain artist and then showing them some art work of that artist. There are YouTube videos that can be entertaining for kids and there are some books too. So I think I would start by telling the kids about Bob Ross and how he paints some of the environment which we have learned about. Then I think my next step would be for the next class to show the kids some clips of Bob Ross' painting show to try to show the kids little bit about his technique and style. Then I would take a day just explaining about who he is and how he got his start and little more about his technique and style. Then my last step would be find a simple Bob Ross painting and allow the kids to follow along with the tutorial that Ross filmed.

Week 14 Blog Post

Which part of your drama techniques integrated story book activity went well and which part needs more improvement?  I honestly thought my group did not do too bad since it was only two of us and we were missing two other group members. The book we had was "The Paper Bag Princess" and I think it was honestly a really good book choice for this project. The book had multiple opportunities to use different drama techniques throughout the book. I think all of our techniques went well but there was two that needed little work. Narrative pantomime; it went well and would be easy enough for young students to follow but I can tell it needed a little more prep work before I read that page. Person in a mess is the other one and I think that's just because we got a little mixed up with another one and people did not interact as much as the other techniques. I think the best drama technique we used for the book was person in a hot seat; I acted as I was the princess and had the class...

Week 10 reflection

I really enjoyed this assignment as I have never used any sort of AI before hand. This week in class really opened my eyes to a whole different world in not just education but this can be used everywhere. I have heard of AI and kind of knew what it was but I never knew any specific websites or anything like that. I really never even heard of a drawing AI simulator like Dall.e2. This class was super interesting to me and I really liked the assignment we did along with it; it helped bring a clearer understanding to me about AI and I think it helped a lot of other students.   I really liked using AI to create a story because it is super fast and I think in my personal experience the stories aren't terrible. But I think if it wasn't just like a short, small thing we were doing I would rather write my own so I have creative control over the whole thing. With AI I can change it if I want little so it's more how I envisioned it but it still is not the same as writing it myself an...

Week 12 Reflection

 For week 12 I learned about creative drama and how it can be used in the classroom. In class we learned about the different drama techniques and how they can be used in the class; we also got a demonstration in class when Dr.Won read a book and used creative drama. I think 'person in a mess' is my favorite way to engage students because it is fun for the kinds and encourages them to use critical thinking or how to solve the problem.  I think using drama techniques as a teaching tool would be such a creative and cool way to engage the children. I think it gives kids a new way to learn, it can help them stay focus and may even help them remember what we are talking about during class.  Like I wrote right above I think it can affect children's learning in a positive way. I think this fun and different way of learning can keep students engaged longer and have them pay attention more. With students paying attention more I think this way of learning may help students retain in...
