As a teacher my biggest goal is to create a comfortable environment for creativity. Every child deserves a space to release their inner artist in a safe and encouraging environment. A lot of kids, no matter the age group, need a some place where they are comfortable to express themselves and make art without judgement. I am a sole believer in the fact that everyone is an artist in their own ways, and I want every student to find their place in the arts that fosters their creativity and pushes them to keep making. 

            I would like to include project-based learning to have students recognize and apply art skills into real-world problems. Finding projects that work with the student’s creativity and allows them to deepen their understanding of the arts and appreciation of it. I also would utilize art integration and work with fellow teachers to come up with projects that coincide with the other subjects they are learning. This is because I believe it gives them another perspective on the subject and helps keep them more engaged in their learning.

            Art Education is important because of one main fact, it gives students an outlet for self-expression. Every student, no matter if they are happy, sad, anxious, or angry, need the ability to express themselves. Having art in the classrooms gives them the opportunity to do so. I want to be an art educator so that I can gift this to the future generation of artist and welcome them into the art world.
