Teacher Reflection:
My belief/why statement as an educator is to provide a safe and positive learning experience so that students can take risks, explore their creativity and discover the positive impact they can have on others with their artwork. Since my days as an elementary art student, art has always been an interest and passion of mine. I understand that not every student has the same talents, but everyone has an ability since art is definitely something that can be learned and applied if the appropriate concepts and techniques are presented.
The visual arts are so expansive, influencing every aspect of our visual life, it is easily adaptable to other content areas to deepen student understanding of the importance of the arts in our society. Having our students involved in opportunities like the annual ArtShare Progam with Veridian Credit Union or having students selected as an "All Northeast Iowa Conference Artist" are unique and meaningful experiences for everyone involved.
I hope that I not only pass on the knowledge I have of my craft, but also to inspire my students to use their creativity to have a positive impact on others.
