The Arts can be seen as a way of expressing yourself through various mediums. It can be seen to have a positive impact on your emotional, mental and physical health. I was keen to learn that throughout this module we will be extending our learning in vast areas of the arts such as: visual, music, dance and drama.
When I was a child I was very involved in creative arts. I was part of the junior choir at school which allowed me to increase my confidence and self-esteem. We often sang at church events, coffee mornings and also got to perform in Paisley Town Hall at Christmas time. It was such a fun experience that made school a more interesting and enjoyable time. I was also part of my local dance club which I found was a new, imaginative and creative way of expressing my feelings and emotions but in a beautiful, exciting and different way from what I was used to. I found that being part of the art of dancing allowed me to not only grow as a person but allowed me to flourish and learn more about being open-minded as well as developing my imaginative and creative skills.
In this weeks lecture we were introduced to ‘Tallis Habits Pedagogy Wheel’ (Thomas Tallis School, 2017). I had never heard or came across this tool before until we began this module. This wheel was created to enable educators to explore the arts and implement habits-related strategies into the classroom. Personally, I found that this wheel has provided me with information and ideas of how to implement the creative arts within an educational setting. It has made me feel more confident and open-minded in how with the arts there isn’t always a set answer like there is with subjects like maths, but how there is a sense of the unknown but that’s okay.
Finishing on this, I feel like already just after one lecture I feel more confident and able in teaching arts within the classroom. It has opened my mind to the many different areas of arts and how there is so many fun and interesting ways to teach it to children. Arts is such an important part of the curriculum that I feel is sometimes forgotten about but it’s crucial to a child’s development.

The Unknown
Art is a way in which we can all express ourselves. We can express emotions, life events, circumstances and identity but it can also act as an outlet that allows us to explore who we really are.

Today’s Lecture was about not knowing how artists think. Art is the way many people tend to express themselves without the written words. The expressive arts come under four categories; these are visual arts, dance, music and drama. In art it is vital as future educators to remember art it is not about the written word.
In the Visual Art’s workshop we focused on the positives and negatives of the Arts in schools. A lot of the negatives of arts revolve around the lack of resources schools have such as, paints, clay, paper, pencils and pens etc. Art is a way of making thinking visible through the use of pictures, videos, texts and different layouts and formats. Linking this to lesson ideas which could be used within the curriculum I would have asked pupils to draw whatever they like using many different colours such as bright or dull colours allowing them to express themselves and their feelings.
The music workshop was an introduction into how music makes people feel, the opportunities it offers to people and the different instruments used. In this workshop we listened to four short clips of music and had to decide how the music made us feel, happy, sad, scared and calm were many of the feelings people felt. Music offers many individual different opportunities that they may not get outside of school.. In this workshop we also listened to a piece of music and created a storyboard about what we thought was happening throughout the music from this we then presented our storyboard to our peers in the class listening to one another’s ideas from the music we listen to as our stimulus. As a lesson idea I would do a similar lesson as was done today. Allowing pupils to listen to different pieces of music will allow the to connect with different feelings. Another lesson idea could also me the same done with the storyboard and listening to a piece of music then allowing pupils to do a writing piece using the storyboards as a stimulus.
Both workshops linked together as they emphaisied the importance of the arts. As they offer opportunities to individuals to express themselves in a different way, which is not the written word.
