Unit 1: Identity Reflection
The studio lessons were very related to the Big Idea of Identity. According to Eisner (2009), “Education can learn from the arts that everything interacts; there is no content without form, and no form without content” (pg. 5). So, art interacts and connects with everything, including one’s identity. Art is a major way to show a person’s identity, and who they truly are. You can learn so much about a person through what they create. The collage project that I did represented my identity by showing what is important to me, and what has shaped me into the person that I am now. It shows that traveling, playing sports, and coming to Mizzou has all shaped me. The Self-Portraiture showed my identity by representing my personality through a Disney character. I used Nemo to represent my personality because we both are adventurous, kind, caring, compassionate, curious, and outgoing. The artful personifications represented identity by showing a personified version of The Ugly Duckling. I showed the Ugly Duckling’s identity by having him standing behind a flock of flamingos representing his “family,” and then had him standing proudly in the background shining. This shows that once the Ugly Duckling learned to love himself and started to feel comfortable in his own skin, he was proud of whom he was.
Visual art integration can definitely be utilized through the studio lessons in my own classroom. I can use these studios in my classroom as a way to show my students who I am, and more about myself. I can then have them do the studios to show me more about their personalities and interests. Art can be integrated with any subject. For English I can read a story to my class and then have them draw a picture, just like the Ugly Duckling picture. Art can be integrated into math by having them draw a certain amount of an object. According to the Kennedy Center (2002), “An interdisciplinary focus promotes learning by providing students with opportunities to solve problems and make meaningful connections within the arts and across disciplines” (pg. 10). Art integration is going to be a very important part of my classroom.
