Jacqui Contributions

When asked why I decided to make this mistake I always responded I don’t know, or I’m not sure but as I informed myself in why drinking as a minor is life-threatening I learned a lot about not only myself but as to how I affect other people by my actions.

On September 19, 1999 Jacqueline Saburido’s life was changed forever. Jacqui’s story is an effective testament about how drunk driving can not only kill people but can also scar and disfigure someone for life. The moral being conveyed in her story is to never drink and drive. It is not worth risking your life, someone else’s life, or putting anyone at risk of lifelong challenges, trauma and injuries. The story presents this message with startlingly graphic images of a young student who was faced with these dilemmas. A portion of the story shows images of how Jacqueline looks now, after the incident. The story shows a comparison with other images that show how she looked before the accident. Her story suggests that not everyone dies from these

Throughout my early teen years, I was exposed to different mediums of art and discovered that I could express myself through more channels than just paper. Although Barry found comfort in her 11 x 17 newsprint and some paint, I was able to focus my energy on making music and taking photographs. Without my art teachers, I wouldn’t have the expressive outlet I do today. My childhood was not filled with unhappiness as Lynda Barry’s was, but from both backgrounds, we found a warmth from the exposure of art that the educational system gave to us.

She had a very successful life and was motivated by her hard-working parents and hoped to find success as a businesswoman. After teaching at two schools she went to Montreal to study at Field Beauty Culture School, one of the only establishments that accepted black students.

Her emptiness toward her husband may be seen in the way she interacts with him. She

It was amazing to hear about Kent’s accomplishments that came from his own ideas. I learned from Kent that small groups of people can organize and motivate others to fix a problem in the community. Like the figure drawing session, the concept started with a few people and snowballed into a big event. Kent created a place for community art education. Through collaboration Kent’s original idea evolved into something greater that fit more needs in the community. I learned from Kent’s presentation that it is important to be flexible, and let events like the drawing session grow. When I am teaching I want to remember how Kent changed so much in the Lawrence community with only a few people to help at first. Creating an environment for students to learn community art can be done even with minimal support in the beginning. If I have passion for my idea I too can change my community to be a place I want to

“I didn’t even know this existed,” Jonathan Lucro, 19, an art major said. “It’s a shame that it’s a 15-20 minute walk from the main campus because I’ve got a tight schedule so I don’t get many chances to explore the school. Most of the art I get to

During my time as volunteer at Somerset Dade Academy, I was able to work closely with the elementary and middle school teacher. During each visit, I was able to follow Ms. Lee’s daily routine. In the morning, we had 30 minutes to plan and get her cart ready with supplies she needed for the day. Also, we would both create various model artworks to inspire her students to create something more original and imaginative. She wheeled her cart through certain elementary classes depending on her schedule. Depending on the grade level she was assign to that day, we were able to teach her students the fundamental concepts of arts and major art movements, all in 30 minutes. Every three weeks, she would focus on a concept, artist, or art movement. Additionally, she would assign vocabulary words, which her students would copy and also had access to them online on Quizlet. At the end, she would administer a summative test on everything they learned for the past three weeks. On the other hand, Ms. Lee’s middle school classes were different, more one-on-one, and it was a one-hour period. Her students were able to recreate impressionist and expressionist artworks, such as Monet’s Water Lilies, Van Gogh Starry Night and The Bedroom on wall-sized canvases.

Imagine world that is bland, along with its individuals all the selfsame. In result of the reprehension of creative courses in academia. That previously mentioned world would soon become an actuality. When budget cuts were accruing in my school district; I remembered my fine arts teachers were petrified that not only their department would cease to exist but they would no longer have an occupation. There is a constant reminder of how paramount the sciences and mathematics are; but the fine arts such as music, ceramics, art, and all the other courses that allow creative freedom are important as well.

Godfrey taught courses in elementary and secondary art education, supervision, crafts and the history of art education. She created hand drawn charts mapping the Expanding Role

She had a passion for art, but instead of going to college for art she found a medium between art school and attending more

Being inspired is an important part of being successful in life. For Kerry James Marshall being inspired by various people has helped him to find his own success in art. According to New art Publications “Kerry James Marshall” by Calvin Reid,1998 Kerry James Marshall states “And I used to watch this television program, John Nagy’s Learn to Draw which was highly influential on my development”. The words that Kerry states shows that he learned and was inspired to do great art because he learned from a great artist and wanted to do great work like the artist did (Marshall, James Kerry. Interview by Calvin Reid Winter. 1998). Although this inspired him, Kerry was inspired from other people too. In junior high school his teacher Mrs. Clark really helped him to become better, as the same interview with Calvin Reid finds Mr. Marshall says “And then there was Mrs. Clark, who was the head of the junior high school art department, she had competitions amongst the kids to see what would get into the showcases”. This really inspired Kerry because he was given a challenge but was shown by Mrs. Clark to do well and create good art to help him become successful early on in life. Kerry James Marshall also has time periods that influence him too.

From a young age Chicago was surrounded by equal rights in her family life, though the rest of the world was not on the same page. In her own career Chicago followed suit in wanting to take action in the world and she did this through art. Starting with taking art classes at the at the Art Institute of Chicago at a young age and then later in life receiving her bachelor’s degree in art from University of California, Los Angeles. In 1970 Chicago started the Women’s Art Program at Fresno State College. This comprised of a demanding course not only in terms of school credit but demanding mentally as well. The course was designed to make the student look inward, bring awareness to the world, and of course make art (Gerhard, 594). Over time Chicago believed Fresno State College was not the most fruitful place to produce art. She wanted to have her students be admitted as a group to the

Your discussion response is well written.You were refreshingly honest and relatable. I too had hoped for a more descriptive syllabus to plan ahead and prepare for what may be difficult for me. I agree that the course objectives and outcomes are absolutely essential to becoming a great writer and communicator overall. With texting and instant messaging being a major source of communication it is very easy to develop lax and poor grammar skills.The ability to write a proper sentence has now been replaced by acronyms. I hope to use the skills learned in this course to become a better writer as well. Best of luck to us both!

A student’s ability to enjoy and participate in arts instruction can help, not hinder, the students learning and comprehension in other classes. The arts classes give students creativity that sometimes can not be achieved in an average english, science, or math class. “Students need to be creative and need to understand that being creative is as important as being proficient in skills areas like math and reading. Learning basic language and math skills should be accomplished in all public schools- not at the expence of arts, but in addition to them” (Ford and
