Teaching Philosophy
Teaching Philosophy
Mrs. McGovern’s teaching goal is for all students to have a positive experience in the art room.
Through teaching art techniques in many different mediums, she hopes to get students excited about art and the creative process. She runs a “yes environment” in her art room, encouraging students to take risks, think outside the box, and use their imaginations.
Mrs. McGovern firmly believes the creative problem solving skills students acquire in art can translate to many other areas of their life.
She loves hearing students’ stories of creating artwork in their free time!
