This week was interesting in class. The four stations we had set up were all completely different from each other but you could find a common art skill that could be used in all of them. While looking at this i realized the importance of guidelines and letting students have an idea of what we are looking for, but still allow them the freedom to make a art piece that is all theres. Lines for example. If a requirement is the use of parallel lines, you will not get the same drawing or painting for each child but will have a skill to be able to evaluate the skill you would like to see. Guidelines don't always have to be bad or intimidating for students. They can allow us as teachers to see the skills we need to as well as allow students to keep their creativity. I also realized the importance of materials. When using centers with students i would prefer to make sure their is enough of the same materials for each student. If i have students like me, they will be watching and seeing other students before them having fun and being creative with the materials and ideas star going through my head, and when you finally reach your turn and those materials are no longer there those ideas no longer work. Students should not experience this feeing. As a teacher i would be my job to help manage this.
