When I think arts I think paintings, drawings, sculptures, things that would be in an art museum. It wasn't until recently that I realized that "The Arts" is a number of things from actual art, to dance and drama and music. I'm not a very artistic person when it comes to drawing or painting or in the drama department, but when it comes to dancing or music I believe that I have a pretty good knowledge. I love to dance and I love music so in those two areas I think I could have the most fun. In the other two areas I will have to practice and work more at.

Thinking back on my elementary experience with the arts, well I don't believe that I was given much opportunity in school with different kinds of arts. I remember in 1st and 2nd grade always drawing pictures of myself for each season. I also remember in the 3rd grade my teacher taught us a song to remember certain multiplication problems. But other then that I don't really remember using much arts in my classrooms. So because of that I want to bring the arts into my classroom as much as possible. To engage my students, give them a different look on every subject, and to bring so fun and excitement into my classroom!
