Teaching Philosophy
Art Education provides students with new avenues for communication and making connections to their world. Art Education is essential for equipping students with necessary tools to navigate our visual culture and society. Self-expression through the arts gives students the opportunity to find their voice and develop their unique talents. Through making and studying art, students will learn important life-skills such as team work, problem solving and self-expression. Students will learn that there can be more than one answer to a problem. ALL students have the ability to achieve their goals when exposed to a positive, safe environment filled with experimentation and laughter.
