Future Art Teacher Research Paper

1. Describe the most important insight you had about yourself, a future art teacher, and explain how you will use it to improve your teaching.
There was not just one insight that I had about myself and my future as an art teacher. The first is I do have more patients than I thought. There were several students that just did not want to complete their art projects. Mrs. Fortune just let the students work at their own pace. Once she had notified the students their grades in the class. At this point, there were scrambling to complete their work. The second is still not comfortable with public speaking. A new teacher should never show their fear when teaching. It is true the students can smell the fear on them. I was able to focus on one student
Describe the most important insight you had about art students, and explain how you will use it to better meet the needs of your future art students.
There will always be that student that does not want to be there or the student that feels they cannot create art. These are the students that do tend to take a little more work. I would take time to know this student. Find out what their interest are. See if I can have them create something that they are interested in. Have their art work reflect their interest.

She has a location for all her supplies that are needed for projects. Mrs. Fortune desk is located at the front of the class next to the classroom door. This allows her to keep an eye on the students and greet them when they come in. The desks are clustered in several groups in the room. This allows for small group conversation or group projects when needed.
5. Summarize your overall fieldwork experience; include what you would do differently or the same if you had the opportunity to redo the
