4. What is the most important thing you gained from this experience? Why?
Keeping a positive outlook on any given situation is the most important thing I have gained from this learning experience. People tend to make rash decisions when all hope seems to be lost and when patience runs out. Working with children and spending time with them made me realize that they are at a crucial age in their development. They are absolute sponges, mimicking you in every way. These young students spend most of their time with you and if they see that you are supportive, rather than being pessimistic, it encourages them to be the same. I will become an exemplary educator and I believe that bidding farewell to negativity helps me grow as a person and as a teacher.

5. What is your senior project topic going to be? How did what you did help you choose a topic? Please explain.
As stated in my first blog, my senior topic is going to be on teaching elementary school and how applying art into the curriculum could prove to be beneficial for a student. As a child, my mother enrolled me in drawing classes, martial arts, and music lessons. I personally enjoyed them and I have always believed that because of the childhood I had, surrounded by the many arts, allowed me to relish learning. After observing an elementary school class and giving a hand from time to time, it reinforced my belief of positive outcomes for child development from art in the curriculum. The students were participating in activities designed by the teachers that targeted the different areas of art. I wish to explore more about this by making it my senior topic, being something I would equally enjoy and be fascinated with.
