Teaching art is more than just teaching technical skills. At the core, we as art educators owe it to students to help them develop into artists by giving them time and space to practice the mantra "what do artists do?"
"After 18 years of teaching my philosophy and curriculum seems to be finally lining up. I have always been more about exploration, helping my students find their creative voice, and have an appreciation for art. This is the first time I feel like I am heading in the right direction to give my students what I think they need."

In fact, the metaphor of a hamburger is applicable for anyone trying to wrap their head around how to lean into standards referenced learning outcomes, Universal Design for Learning, and student-centered engagement. We have something for everyone, even vegans.
