My Mission
.gif){kind=spacer}
As an art educator I will conduct myself with a positive attitude to motivate students to explore in a safe environment. I will teach the whole child and help them experience and view art and design. I believe that to communicate visually is within every human being. My goal is to foster and encourage curiosity, creative thinking, artistic growth, and visual learning in the classroom and beyond. To challenge my students to take creative risks and allow them space to adjust if these risks are not successful. I will teach my students to persist.
For a society to succeed, it must strive to make art education and creative thinking a top priority. Art is far more than decorative – it allows us to learn about the world and about ourselves through the use of visual language.”
– Daniel Pink, “A Whole New Mind
