9/2 programming (Scratch) experience and 2 connections to the art classroom.

This is my first time designed a programming work; I spent 2 hours to finished this work. It was hard for me because I've never done it before. I downloaded the Swift playground to my iPad to practice more about coding. It is very interesting App and easy to play with it. For me, I think coding it is very different with traditional art because it is more like mathematics, you have to make sure every single part it right unless it will be chaos. Also, I feel like the design a coding is like the math formulas, I am not like coding because it reminds my mathematics and I never pass any math class when I was little. When I am working on my coding work, I felt very frustrated, because I have to think a lot and make a pre-plan before I start it. Also, I have to make sure everything is followed my coding design. It is very different with making art, when paint or draw something, it always by spontaneously. Overall, I like this experiences, because I got new skills and after I had finished it, I felt I can do it and it not that terrible as I thought about it before.

For art classroom, I think it is very important for students to know, especially for kids, because “An understanding of computer science is becoming increasingly essential in today’s world. Our national competitiveness depends on upon our ability to educate our children—and that includes our girls—in this critical field.”By Sheryl Sandberg and she is the Chief Operating Officer of Facebook. I very agree with that; the coding class can help students to build up more knowledge. Also, I found a very interesting website for kids to learn about coding. https://studio.code.org/s/frozen/stage/1/puzzle/2 
This website teach students to know what is coding and how coding by themselves with Disney Princess, I think this is very good example for my future teaching, especially for girls and kids, because it is very easy to know, and kids will think this is an interesting way to learn a new skill, they won't feel boring in this class. Secondly, I think coding will help kids to explore their potential skills in the future, because everybody is different and we all good at in the different fields, so teach them some new skills will help them to be more professional.
