  1. The “Awakening Teachers Capacities for Social Justice With In Arts Based Inquiries” article also focuses on the importance of having art incorporated in the classroom. The study is trying to determine if art has any affect on how the students learn by observing through activities they give the students.The main argument was that artistic approaches in education can give a various amount of benefits to the students. The graphic novel Real Life was a very interesting comic for me. The book is about a female character name Anda, she starts playing a game online where she meets a boy who lives in china. Throughout the book she learns about him earning money for his family, while she’s just playing the game for self confidence. This comic focused on the idea that people all over the world are different in a lot ways and the situations they face in life. Video games is another form of art and this book is showing readers how two people can find each other and have a connection but both be in different places in their lives.
  2. I am someone who uses art in my free time or even for education use. There has been many times where I have study for test by drawing items out so I can view the information in a different way. Art has a way of showing ideas to students in a more engaging way. For instance, while being here at Uc Davis I got the chance to take a class with Professor Bautista. This professor had a artistic approach to every lecture by discussing by biology and physiology in art form. Every lecture this teacher drew out on a piece of paper while he explained the material for the day. This benefited me in the classroom since I was about to see him draw while also thoroughly explaining the material. This approach benefited my learning since I learn better through art and drawings other than lecture slides.
  3. Do you think if people had the choice of learning a course through a artistic way they would choose to take it over a generic lecture slide class?
