Thoughts on Eggbert

When I watched Eggbert I was thinking about how he was traveling to find himself. By the end he completed his circle by returning home with his self-acceptance. The same circle we have been talking about in our Aborginal Epistomology course. The travelling analogy for me fits well with the expectations of this art course. I understand the course to be a journey to increased awareness and appreciation of art that even though we are not planning to be great artists (other than as teachers) we can accept ourselves for the artistic talents we have. This is a journey that will continue into our teaching and how we can incorporate art in the classroom to enrich and enhance our students learning and their self-acceptance.
