Individual Field Requirement Hathaway-Brown High School 8

Mr. Mose’s Art History Class
December 3, 2014

One thing that Mr. Morse has don't throughout my observations that I really admire is he makes sure to fully explain the importance of everything he teaches and why. This just helps create a feeling of understanding with his students that I think is so important in a teacher. If the students are confused but don't attempt to let the teacher know they are confused makes it very hard for them to fully grasp the material. If the teacher takes the time to elaborate this problem can easily be eliminated. 
As a double major in History and Education, I also really appreciate that Mr. Morse focuses of the historical importance of the art he is teaching. To an extent this is necessary because it is an Art  History class, but he goes further. I really believed in the concept of history being bound to repeat itself if we are ignorant of the past and I think that this is clear from certain historical events. History is created through the past and that includes culture which  art makes up hugely effected by this character. Art gives us an opportunity to see the different styles, beliefs, and ideals of a time and from their take the next steps of learning about the artist or the time period it is created in. All of this is centered around the historical aspect of art that I think is so important and Mr. Morse covers fully.
