Art Making has been a wonderful additive to the entire VTS experience for me. Creating a Unit was a challenge, especially taking the path that I chose. Curriculum standards have served as a road block, but I am certain that through art-making experience with VTS, I will conjure up some great ideas.
I really learned alot form watching Amy's Summation, as it really hit home that alot of imagination, theory, practice, and most importantly, sound creativity must be evident. I have also learned the value f image selection. It has become one of my strongpoints this semster, and has truly served its purpose in "bringing home" a lesson plan that produces good/positive results.
Practice makes perfect, is a good quote to work with while art-making through VTS. Practice comes from the facilitator, flows through the student, and finishes with the piece of work created. I feel advanced students may have given a more positive design approach, but I am pleased with the result. I liked (or wished) to introduce Illustrator and InDesign topics with the projects. This made it a bit more challenging for the students when art-making. I may revisit this idea in the upcoming year.
It has been a wonderful, busy, eventful semester!

Great reflections! I'm thinking about starting a special blog for VTS I & II alumnia to continue sharing experiences; successes, failures, and aha moments for those that will come after. I've gotten to peek into your classrooms this year and it will be hard not to continue doing so!! No points assigned to the blog I'm planning; no requirments, and no pressure....maybe after a year or so the pain associated with required blog entries will subside and you will consider it? Hope so. Great job!
Im in!...
