I have thoroughly enjoyed the Integrated Arts module, and I have taken a great deal from it. I feel that, even though I was already comfortable with the arts, I am now willing to integrate it into other subjects in the classroom. Being a visual and pro-active learner myself, I definitely see the benefits of being creative in your teaching and in the children’s learning as it suits various learning styles.
I have also admired the lecturers’ passion and enthusiasm for drama, art, dance and music as it is very engaging and believable, and I hope to be able to reflect this teaching in schools.
I hope to be able to continue with my passion for the arts in the upcoming ‘Expressive Arts and Culture’ module and in the future. I now feel happy with teaching each area of the expressive arts and I look forward to developing my skills further.
