Upon reading various articles about photography, I am beginning to make a connection between art and teaching. In comparing pictures because of their lighting or composition, I can see how subtle changes can make a photo much more beautiful. In relation to my classroom, I can see how Jade making a rude comment can totally change the mood, feel, and overall quality of the lesson. If I can take out the opportunity for rude comments, or explain that they are unnecessary, then the feel of the lesson would be entirely different. I like the idea that a small change can have a few impact, I just need to first be aware of it.
I am also starting to consider the composition of my classroom. I have never had an "eye" for art, and I put very little effort into the overall makeup of my classroom (and my apartment, for that matter). I'm always noticing how my friends' apartments are always so much more welcoming because they have pictures and decorations; I just never considered putting in the extra effort in my own space.
