Social Studies

As i was in class yesterday...(i am getting my masters to be an elementary school teacher)...i was thinking about how social studies has influenced my art. This would seem relatively normal except that the idea of social studies and how it applies to the classroom is broken down into skill, concept and content. I started to evaluate the way in which i broke down current events and past events (ie. history) and how i incorporated all these ideas into my paintings and my poetry. what skills did i use to break the ideas up. what correlations were fused together when i went through the file cabinet in my head. it is really something spectacular to think about.
