Nature is art.

My New Blog

I am starting this blog as a narration of my educational journey through a technology course as a potential art teacher but also as another human being trying to find her way in the world by following her passions and goals. One of my goals is to expand on my knowledge of the art world, including the many ways art relates to other aspects of life. This relationship involves searching for the definition of art as well as examining the ways art is used to decipher life itself. In doing so, my blog will hopefully become a rich educational tool for students or aspiring artists.

Art is EXPRESSION of the deliberate, the random, a process, or a finished product. It is fixed or forever changing. It is scientific, spiritual, or both! It stimulates the senses while stirring emotions. It can be literal or abstract. How does art relate to everyday life and why is art important? I want my blog and my future classroom to guide viewers/students through a creative journey that explains just that while relating it to his/her own life.

The Art of PowerPoint

For today's activity in technology class we are creating a PowerPoint that exceeds the levels of creativity that is shown in today's professional community, whether in a school classroom or if it is discussing military strategy. One of the problems is that it is used and abused too frequently and is becoming a tool that neither demonstrates true intelligence or promotes the viewer's understanding.

What I Did

To correct this issue I have designed a PowerPoint that is meant to engage the art student while also being informative and not overwhelming with information. Again, this is a perfect example of how CREATIVITY is important in the professional world and how it is applied. That is why I made a blog about how art relates to everything else.

Speaking of cross-curricular education, I have creating a PowerPoint that will hopefully teach students how to use art's DESIGN ELEMENTS AND PRINCIPLES to create their own presentations that will be useful in ANY subject they study in the future. Training the viewer to see what you see is like a science in itself, and that is the goal of lessons, presentations, PowerPoints, and ART! Getting your point across; using visual persuasion!

Unfortunately, my work schedule has not allowed my to complete this assignment up to par, so I will continue designing my powerpoint. Also, the site I used to upload doesn't seem to want to show the very bottom of my slides or the cool effects I have added, which I will also have to fix. NOT pleased with the results! To be continued...

I am sharing my PowerPoint using Slideshare.
