As someone with minimal experience using visual mediums, the time spent in the garden today was a refreshing experience. Often I find myself engaged in activities (particularly creative ones) that I am comfortable and familiar with. Today was a reminder of the discomfort many young students will need to sit with in the math classroom. I feel that a familiarity with this feeling will allow me to relate and empathize more authentically with these students.
Although the drawing was difficult, the garden helped immensely to keep me calm and enjoy the tranquility of the exercise. I can see how these types of spaces could be used to ease the minds of struggling students.
