My goals as an art educator are to have a safe, respectful, and inclusive classroom where students will learn to understand art through techniques, self-expression, history, and culture.
Art instructors must teach students the technical skills to make art so that technical issues do not get in the way of expression. As students’ skills progress their confidence does as well and in turn they are able to express themselves more effectively and freely. Teaching art history is also vital. Learning about art with respect to its historical and cultural contexts provides students with a deeper understanding of the subject. Lastly, I believe respect is not something that can simply be on a list of rules the students are expected to follow; it has to be promoted, implemented, and demonstrated by the teacher and students. I will work to ensure that the environment in my classroom is one of inclusiveness, safety, and respect.
