1.What do you know about multiple intelligences? (If your answer is nothing, research it a bit so you can write a paragraph)

Howard Gardner coined educational theory. An individual may lean towards one or a combination of several of the intelligence areas. I believe another category which was later added is known as Emotional Intelligence. The others are
1. Spatial, 2. Musical, 3. Kinesthetic, 4. Verbal-Linguistic, 5. Logical, 6. Visual, 7. Interpersonal, 8. Intrapersonal, 9. Naturalistic

2. What is your personal experience with arts integration?

I've worked with social studies teachers creating a combination of historical data and related art works for technology Power Point presentations, ITI (Integrated Thematic Instruction)with other disciplines,and math instruction utilizing art such as tessellations,linear perspective drawings, and facial portraits using measurement
and related mathematical vocabulary (ie. symmetry, balance, etc).

3. What is your favorite thing involving the arts, in general or in your classroom?

Creating mixed media art pieces such as collage, assemblage, based on reading, and personal creative writing or poetry imagery.
