curriculum and assessment methods.Every Friday, Robinson provides

students with a prompt for journalingin their handmade books. To highlightthe International Day of Peace, Rob-inson asked students to contemplatewhat peace means to them. She sharedinformation and resources like theonline Global Conflict Tracker map,which is constantly updated to illus-trate the impact of civil war, sectarianviolence, and political instability. Rob-inson also asked students to think aboutconflict in their own country and com-munity and how they could representpeace through art.

Students had access to a wide varie-ty of art media. They also were chal-lenged to select at least three differenttypes for inclusion in their work. Tenth-grader Haleigh Maynard composed atranquil outdoor scene. “I decided touse my own markers and I figuredwatercolor would be great for the skybecause I like mixing the colors andmaking it vibrant,” Haleigh said.

Eleventh-grader Erica Driver madesimilar media choices.

“This is my third time using water-color, I’m still learning," Erica said. "Ithought I could do a rainbow becauserainbows remind me of peace and ofequality.”

Reflecting on the intersection of artand peace, Erica added “art is a uni-versal language. You can look at apainting made by someone thousandsof years ago and still know what theymeant. You can still feel the messagethey were trying to convey which Ithink is really important if we’re tryingto attain world peace.”

With similar sentiments, tenth-grad-er Victoria Emata shared “in my per-spective, peace is something that ishard to achieve in this world becausewe have a lack of understanding witheach other. Although we can’t alwayscommunicate our feelings properlywith words, the feelings of an artist canbe portrayed with colors, symbols, andlines. Every viewer has their own in-terpretation and, whatever the connota-tion may be, it’s something that can beunderstood by everyone.

Ninth-grader Zyon Conguista en-joyed the week’s journaling prompt. Hebelieved that reflecting on peace“draws out positivity.”

“I try to be supportive of everyoneno matter what and keep open-mindedabout things," Zyon said. "I feel like, inart, we’re able to express ourselves a

bit more and say what we’re feeling toget our message across and spread thatpositivity that we obviously need.”

Takacs is pleased with the way theunit is progressing and she recognizesthat the students are too. “They canenjoy it in the moment, explore theircreativity, and reflect.”

After 12 years of teaching art atLincoln and supervising art internssince 2011, the practice of reflection isone that Takacs embraces. Speakingabout her oversight of Robinson, Ta-kacs said “paying attention to how sheteaches, taking notes on that, followingher movements in the class makes mego back to what is good teaching andam I doing all those things even whenshe’s not here?”

Just weeks into her internship, Rob-inson has experienced some revelationsabout the profession.

“I’m learning a lot about the system,"she said. "You’ve got 50 minutes teachthem and also have them create art,review, and reflect. There’s not enoughtime. I guess I didn’t think it would bethis much work.”

With a clearer understanding of thechallenges, Robinson remains commit-ted to her career choice and is gratefulfor Takacs’ guidance.

“We work well together and it’s awe-some to have someone like that as arole model," she said. "My art teachers,they were always there to talk to meand help me and I feel teaching is a wayto give back. That’s why I chose artbecause it’s a fun place to be and ithelps you become a better person.”
