  • All three days of my summer mentoring were spent helping a teacher at Las Palmas Middle school set up their classroom for the new school year. I did things like organizing cabinets, and putting together desk buckets, to be used by students for pencils pens and other need school supplies. I also sorted through papers, folders, drawers looking for unwanted worksheets and paper to make room for new ones. I also asked the teachers I saw, certain questions on how they like to teach their students and if they felt art was a great teaching tool.

    Literal (Need to know)   
  • What kind of things or tools do you use to teach your students?
  • What is your take on using art in the classroom to help teach a subject?
  • How do you feel about after school programs like art and music getting cut back or completely pulled from schools?
  • Do you know of any other teachers who use art to teach their students, and if so do you know how they feel about it?
   Interpretive
     The most important thing I gained from this experience is that art is a great way to help people and children learn curtain things and subjects. Like in science art can help a student learn about Photosynthesis having them draw a flower and label important parts and what makes them important so they can get an idea of what the processes looks like. Or in history it would help to not only write an essay on what happened during a great battle but to also draw a picture of what they think the battle may have looked like.
   Applied
     This summer mentorship helped me pick a good topic by showing me how art, something I truly love and care about, can help others learn in a fun way .
