Visual Art Reflection #2

When I think about visual art, the first thing that goes through my head is looking at a picture or sculpture. I don't think about all of the elements that actually make the picture. I think that is probably what I have learned during this section on visual art is how all the elements make up a picture or art piece. Understanding the different elements like texture and value will help me as I teach my students. If I can help then understand and how to use the different elements not only individually but together, the possibilities are endless for what they could do.
To prepare to effectively teach my students I will need to continue studying the elements of visual art.
My perspective on visual art has changed a lot. I now think of all the different elements as I look at a picture. I see how the artist mixes them to create the picture. I want my students to know that a picture has more to it than just something to look at. I want them to understand all that goes into it.
