Meaningful Art Experience

It is necessary for teachers and IEP committees to consider assistive technology for students with disabilities because AT offers many different benefits to students. AT can be used to assist students with communication deficits, assist students in completing assigned daily tasks, as well as assisting students in accessing materials and navigating the classroom. Assistive technology allows students to meet their goals academically and it allows students to access and

This article focuses on the many forms of technology in relation to special education. The article discusses the “high” and “low” forms of technology that is available for students with special needs to help “bypass” or “compensate” for their disabilities. The article goes on to survey the current status of assistive technology for the special education population. In the end, the article uncovers that the use of assistive technology for the special education population is promising though uncertain. Assistive technology has proven to be beneficial for students with learning disabilities, as it would empower them to work beyond their normal capabilities (Lewis, 1998).

In the paper Sharon M. Malley and Lynne B Silverstein wrote entitled Examining the Intersection of Arts Education and Special Education. The pair asked the question of how do we bridge the gap between the arts education and special education fields to insure that students with disabilities get the most effective education available to them? First the researchers gathered the other research on the subject too see what had already been collected by their peers. They found a lack in the type of research that showed just how much the adition of Arts education in the special education classroom could benefit the ESE student. Despite a great deal of pathos supporting their case these papers used to support their cause their meaning fell short.

The Alverno abilities that pertain to this job would be social interaction, problem solving, aesthetic engagement, effective citizenship, and communication. Social interaction will be used when I'm talking to my residents or on a duty. I'm interacting with everyone and asking how they are all doing, as a result building trust with my residents. Problem solving is used when there is an issue on my floor or with a resident(s). I will be addressing these issues in a professional manner, talking with a resident privately, and discussing with them what an appropriate solution might be. Aesthetic engagement will be used in the making of door decs, bulletin boards, and possible floor events. I am an art therapy major, so if people are interested in

This art work made by Pierre Auguste Renoir is oil by the visibility of the smudges and the texture the oil creates over the whole painting. The artist uses color evenly, the men are wearing white while the women are wearing dark navy blue, while the men and women are evenly distributed throughout the picture. The artist uses more dull colors, no dull vibrant colors mostly white, yellow, and dark blue. The colors used are even and well blended. Some symbolism used in the painting is how the men are all wearing white cutoff t-shirts but the women are covered up in dark clothing which around that time period women did not show skin possibly. In this piece the forms are realistic and

The artesian field of work is not for everyone, it is generally a skilled trade learned throughout the years, or it could be a natural talent. For those with an artistic flare, like I, it can provide a deeper meaning and inner satisfaction, with the desire to evolve artistically. In entrepreneurship, the art field is dependent on demand and sales of one’s own specialty product or service in order to be successfully lucrative. However, I can expand my career possibilities within this field of work easily by being flexible and using my work experience in combination with my natural talent and education in Art as my background. Companies of all sizes often search for skilled candidates to perform these types of artesian

The use of technology in educating children with special needs has widely grown in the past few decades, and has since has changed the way people with disabilities live, work, and learn” (Winzer, 2002, p. 98). Individuals with special needs are unique and all have different areas in which they need assistance. Due to the advancements in assistive technology, computer programs, software, and other technology tools, have helped people to find useful and easier ways to become educated.

Fine arts has affected my life in more ways than one. The first thing that comes to mind when i think of fine arts is my mixed chorus class that i am attending at St. Dominic. This class has changed me for the better. Every day i walk into that class i feel a wave of relief because i know that i get to encounter one of the greatest of God’s creations, music. I get to forget about all the stress that school and life throws at me for one hour and just relax. This class gave me a chance to be my self and do what i enjoy to do, sing. Singing is one thing that i enjoy to do that frees me from anything that is on my mind. I use this great gift that i have to cheer myself and others up in hard times. My Mom and I sing together every chance we get

Now that the sessions have come to the midphase, the therapist has to place the boundaries and the goals, both personally and professionally. It is mostly thought that this phase is when the main issues are dealt with. One of the hardest parts of the therapist's job is to decide which specific art therapy treatment will work the best for their

Assistive technology in the digital age goes beyond eyeglasses, canes and wheelchairs. The more high-tech kind includes newer technologies that made a particularly dramatic impact on education.

Using personal experiences and textual knowledge, please explain your relationship with the creative arts and why it is important for school age children.

Good art allows me to flee the realms of reality. In my mind's limitless consciousness, I can escape the mundanity of everyday life. It opens a door in my head to a world only limited by my imagination. I am no more a slave to gravity, chained down on the earth when I am reading. I can be a bird and soar high above the clouds, or be a fish and swim deep down in the darkest depths of the ocean. I am there, I am that person, and everything else around me regardless of what it is, fades away. Sometimes these people are the one's I'd like to be but sometimes I encounter nefarious characters I wholly condemn. I am able to feel the emotions that the artist intends for me to feel. However, it is not merely reading or listening, but understanding

I have never really had any great love for art, but I have never thought it could have any good effect on me. I've known since I was little that not just the big things in museums that cost around $5000 were art, and that even the little things I would make an arts and crafts in my old school could be considered art. However, I never imagine myself as an artist of any kind and always considered art as just something pretty to look at. My education of art isn't really anything impressive, starting at my first elementary school where I had both art and music in my kindergarten class, though it might have been first grade I can't quite remember, and I wouldn't have another until my high school years because it was mandatory. Though I had never really thought about to highly, this paper and the few classes I've had in fine arts have made me think differently. Architecture and videogames have had a great impact on my life and have even given me a goal to work after.

Everyone experiences things differently. Whether it be music, TV, national monuments, or art everyone takes these in different ways. I have recently visited the Cleveland Art Museum and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on a field trip. While visiting these places I was exposed to lots of different music, art, and historical items. Both places did things to try and “help” the visitor's experience, but while some of these did help other hindered the experience.
