14. Connection to Class Reading
In the article “Five Ways to Integrate: Using Strategies from Contemporary Art”
by Julia Marshall, there are many examples of how teachers can incorporate
art into current curriculum and the different strategies they can use to
expand student knowledge about the arts in a non traditional way. She
states that “Art educators have also embraced integration as a way to
explore concepts from all areas of inquiry through art and to connect art to
real life issues and ideas” (13). This applies to media affecting children’s
views on different topics around the world, including body image, obesity,
advertisements, and productions of art for specific groups of people. She
also talk about how when students look at the same concepts but in a
different way, they can find new meanings and understand the materials
much better and can expand their knowledge as a direct result. This shows
impact of showing students different ways to analyze could introduce them
to an entirely new learning experience, such as media advertising like this!

15. Teaching Philosophy
-How to apply learning through art
• Shows how influential media can be in learning
• Shows the interactive role art can play in choices
• Art can be fun and interesting (colorful &
appealing)
• Can be used for visuals as reminders to things
they have learned in the past
• Meaning and learning are connected through
ideas
• Promotes creativity, originality, and imagination
while still at school in the classroom
