Journal Entry 1

My definition of art is that art stimulates our minds and brings out all of our creativeness. Art can be demonstrated through painting, coloring, or even acting. Clements and Wachowiak's definition of art is "Art is more akin to poetry which distills the essence of an experience through expressive and discriminative choices."

My past experiences with art weren't the greatest. Growing up, art was not something stressed and it was only done once a week. I will admit, I am not a fan of doing art projects, but by no means am I shy to do them. Compared to the Qualitative Art program the authors suggest is very different from the art education I received in elementary school. They want children to do more to further their abilities in art. My teachers just tried to give us something to do.
