Teaching Philosophy
The most important part of an art educator’s job is to teach every student, regardless of age, race, sex, religion, culture, national origin, financial circumstances, and mental and physical ability or disability, to be a responsible global citizen.
An art education program based on the central themes of “sense of self,” “sense of place,” and “sense of community,” in conjunction with art that is multicultural and culturally relevant, students will learn about themselves, their neighbors in their community, and their neighbors around the world and across time periods.
By sufficiently planning, incorporating knowledge of artistic and psychological development, integrating many disciplines to appeal to all students’ interests, and utilizing a variety of teaching strategies, every child can be motivated to learn in a way that meets his or her needs.
