General focusart presentation Specific goal ST will keep her confidence up while trying this new medium.

My personal goal for the day is to stick to my time guidelines (particularly for the Do Now and beginning of class) and to effectively frame/expose students to Romare Bearden, an artist who has reinterpreted The Odyssey. I don't feel as though visual art is my forte in explaining it so I'm pushing myself a bit to try to expose them to this in an effective manner.
