In my student centered art classroom everyone is invited to learn and express themselves as they please. Being an art teacher, I understand the importance of fostering a safe environment for students to create work they are proud of and work that represents them as individuals. By facilitating a path to find their creative sides, they also learn how to solve problems on their own, be comfortable learning new things, and accept others and all their differences. I aid students in practicing their literacy and comprehension skills by incorporating lessons that have students interpret and find inspiration in art. My philosophy in education is that every child is capable of creating beautiful work and it is my job to unleash their passion and potential in my classroom.
