PS1: Fosters an environment where artistic risk-taking, self-exploration, collaboration, discovery, experimentation, problem solving, and reflection can take place.
Evidence 1: Teaching philosophy
Description: This is my current Philosophy of Teaching Art and Design, as of April 2020. I expect this philosophy to change slightly in time, as I gain more time in the classroom, more experience under my belt. Although what is written here may ring true for me for many years, I am open to adjusting my philosophy over time.
Analysis: In my philosophy, I have outlined five goals that I will keep close while working on class planning and interaction with students. These goals are: creating a safe space for all students, encourage students to create from the heart, expose students to the art world, continue to learn new things, and finally, to persevere, even when activities seem hard.

Description: These documents are a plan for a future classroom. The first map is designed for the K-4 grades, and the second for grades 5-12. The third document includes materials, supplies and equipment to be included in the art classroom, divided into the six different stations. This design is based off of a Choice-Based Art Education or Teaching for Artistic Behavior (TAB) Classroom.
Art Classroom Layout Plan (K-4).pdfArt Classroom Layout Plan (5-12).pdfAnalysis: During my student teaching experience, I observed and participated in teaching in a choice-based classroom. I witnessed how the organization and expectations of the classes empowered students to explore artmaking in their own way. I saw how students who do not normally enjoy art class encountered materials that they were curious about and learned to use. Even when classes were lead through a specific project that had less choice, students knew where to find the necessary materials, and where to put them at the end of class during clean up time. For both the Choice-Based Art Education and the Discipline-Based Art Education (DBAE), an art room must be set up in a way for the educator and the students to function within systems of organization so that the majority of the class time can be spent on artmaking, rather than looking for materials. With these maps that I have created, I have a blueprint to work from in my future art classroom.
