Between four walls
The title of Nathalie Daoust show at Two Rivers Art Gallery "Entre Quatre Murs" was appropriate for teacher candidates who will be teaching between 4 walls. I found the presentation really useful in challenging me to think about how to use the art as an inspiration for teaching not only art but integrating it into other subjects. The sharing of translucent human anatomy books, to memory boxes and 3-d scenes made me realize there were lots of ways to connect to classroom activities, especially now with our computer technology and ease of printing.

Hi, Leisbet. I have now reviewed your blog. I found that I cannot comment on each post the way I would like to, but I will provide you with an overview comment here and then email your grade and personalized rubric when I finish all of the blogs.
I have noticed your encouraging comments on other blogs...thanks for helping to make it a beneficial course for your classmates. You have about 13 posts that document your engagement and leadership in all aspects of our course, as well as some personal connections to visual artists and resources for teaching. You've pulled lessons for teaching out of a variety of experiences, such as considering how teachers will work within four walls, and adopting simple but effective costuming and actions from the Bel Canto performance. I'm glad that your Readers' Theatre was a success. It is one of my favourite arts integration strategies and one that we didn't get to in class this year. Thanks for helping us appreciate Bill Reid and William Kurelek as well as Annerose Georgeson. You left a lovely comment on another blog about how you are drawn to art that expresses a love for the forest. This is certainly personal meaning making and your connection to the science article is important. I appreciated your contributions to the Art Show and to the Concert, as well as your active participation in the recorder clinics. It would have been interesting to see what you might draw or paint in response to exercises from that wonderful "Right Side of the Brain" book. I hope you will stay in touch and continue to share your classroom successes.
