Your art education autobiography serves as an initial
assessment of your knowledge and experiences with visual art. This helps your instructor
determine needs and (mis)conceptions that need to be addressed, as well as identify strengths
that we can capitalize on when possible. It also serves as a preliminary assessment that you can
refer to when describing our own learning and growth a in your final self-reflection. Type a two
page reflection on your art experiences to date. Your paper should be double spaced, 12 pt.
font, with one-inch margins, and submitted to canvas
Address the following questions:
● What art experiences have you had? Are there any art experiences you haven’t had, but
wish you did?
● How have your experiences influenced areas, topics, or approaches to art with which
you are comfortable?
● What are your thoughts about what art is, why people value art, and what role or
purpose it has in children’s education?
● How have your experiences shaped your thoughts about what art is, why people value
art, and its role in children’s education?
