Teaching Philosophy:

All children need a great art education. The role of an art teacher is to guide students through positive learning techniques and encourage creative thinking, while also helping them develop an aesthetic understanding of the world. Art classes are a great opportunity for children to explore their individuality through their art making. In art class, students can learn important lessons about developing their own creative learning techniques, sharing, collaborating, and asking questions. It is the art teacher’s job to encouraged students to become comfortable making mistakes and then understanding that those mistakes are positive learning experiences.  As an art teacher, I embrace diversity, equity, and inclusion in my classrooms to facilitate a non-biased approach to teaching. By doing this, I will assuredly change the lives of all my students for the better. Art Education is crucial in affirming that our students understand that through their voice and their art, they can have an impact on our world and, in turn, bring about positive change.
