Teaching as an art is something I've never really considered. I have always thought of it as a passion, but never as an art form. After taking this class and seeing all the alternative methods of teaching and the ways in which teachers are able to reach their students, it's astounding. I believe now that there is a true essence of art in this profession.
I found this article:

I thought this was interesting. I have never thought about teaching as an art either. But when you think about it, there is a lot of creativity that goes into teaching. You have to make sure you are keeping students engaged so that they continue to enjoy coming to school .
