Creating Art
My learning experience in this course has truly been an extraordinary
journey. Along this journey I have encountered
many bumps in the road that were sometimes unbearable but were smoothed out the
more I traveled. As I rode along on
this exceptional excursion I obtained some valuable information. I picked up that children identities are formed
constantly and influenced through multiple social and cultural contexts. Even
though children identities are impacted by multiple sources I feel that family is
the most influential of all. What families
cultivate early on makes an indentation into children thoughts, ideas and
notions.
Art to me is a representation/expression of ones views or how they
feel about something or someone. I chose
to use an image of a family surrounded by books. This image was created by my
daughter who is always eager to assist in any way that she can. This family
always illustrates that family doesn’t always consist of a mother and
father-sometime there’s only a mother or father, two mothers or two fathers. The
books are a depiction of life (a child’s life) each book represents a different
chapter- each chapter represents the mark the family has left with the child. Some
of the impressions made upon the child via the families are morals/values,
teachings/lessons, traditions/customs, and confidence/self-respect.
