Author: Courtney Alleborn Role: Student Location: Easton, MA Date: 10-18-03 After reading Pauline Joseph's story one paragraph impractical stood out for me. It was about how she made a distinct effort to bring to the children?s attention professional artists work, and she did this by relating the professional work to what they themselves were doing. I thought it was great how if a child did a piece of work that reminded her of another piece she would instantly go and try and recover this piece and then show it to the child. By doing this and bringing famous artwork to the attention of the students it definitely gets them interested into another aspect of art, the aspect of art appreciation. Also, with comparing the students? artwork to that of a professional artist, the students? self-esteem and art confidence defiantly increases, hopefully promoting a continuation in the arts.
