After completing this course I feel that I have several different lesson ideas I can now draft and include into my curriculum. For example, I now have two units that work together which I can use for any of my art classes. I also think taking this course exposed me to new websites, movies, and learning centers where I can find more resources. Because this is my second session here at USC, I no longer feel unsure about myself. This class has also given me the confidence to try new things and explore topics I might not have considered before. For example, exploring religions and discussing them in art and how they are evident in the cultures artwork. I also have been exploring my surroundings at school more by going to Asian restaurants and eating food that I don’t think I would have tried before. I am doing this research because I am planning on having my students visit restaurants and maybe taking photographs of how they present the food and turning that into a painting.

Again, I would recommend to any teacher wanting to apply to this program to take the course. The presenters are teachers themselves and the conversation in class are constructive and useful. The reading materials are a lot but they do answer a lot of questions that the presenter might not have time to answer. Over all this session was great! Thank you to the presenters and faculty at USC for doing a great job in hosting us.
