Art Educator

Teaching Philosophy

Through teaching art, I enable each child to grow mentally, emotionally, and socially by providing them with positive tools for self-expression. I believe Art is a connector between all subjects, people, and cultures. I take an interdisciplinary approach when creating a curriculum that gives students a complete picture of the world they live in. By doing this I can help students dig deeper to discover what art is and how it fits into their lives. I am committed to creating a classroom with a warm, inclusive environment and clear, reasonable expectations where students can explore, experiment, and create!
