TEACHING PHILOSOPHY
Being a Teacher is being dedicated to your students and as we grow together make the future a better place this is truly my devotion and commitment as I’ve learned through pedagogic
training. As an artist who paints flowers blooming, it reminds me of young students blossoming as you teach and guide them, and they flourish into the world.
Art education provides critical thinking skills and creativity an essential part of academic performance and as I paint and create ceramic artwork, I enjoy expressing through visual language. As we all possess our own unique creative talents, we need to push that creative potential.
Every student learns in a different way I believe getting to know each student as much as you can be able to figure out the best instruction for them, especially using open-ended, formative and summative assessments and other new modern assessments with technology that will identify the students' strengths and weaknesses. I believe setting high expectations to all students and reaching their fullest potential is key, creating a balance between a student-centered and teacher-centered classroom.
My interest in art was frowned upon as a child it wasn’t until I entered in college, I was able to grow and learn in Art. Because of this I have the motivation to teach Art and present how big the art world is. I believe the future belongs to the children and it is crucial to nurture their capability. My goal is to expose students as much of art as possible in a variety of ways. Not only creating art but learning the history and expressing art through their experiences and what is meaningful to them what can help before they create art projects is a writing assignment and assessing their ideas on paper with a sketch. I believe students learn best when they are intrinsically motivated. Therefore, focus on creating lessons that are engaging, relevant to students’ real lives and encourage active discovery. I am a skilled and enthusiastic facilitator to the students' critical thinking and creating. Art should be studied and made for both its expressive power and its possible social meaning.
Art is a language of thought which must be accessible to all students, not just the talented or well-connected few. It is essential for teachers and artists (including student-artists) to work together to explore their own stories and dislodge the ideologies that sustain the practice of exclusion and marginalization. This can be achieved through critical multicultural art education. With interdisciplinary studies and collaboration between teachers, students can explore the concept of a cohesive community interweaving the arts with literature, history, the environment, and much more.
