Teaching Practice
“The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and think critically. Intelligence plus character; that is the goal of a true education.”
​
- Martin Luther King Jr.
Philosophy of Teaching Statement
I believe as an practicing art educator, my philosophy is that the art classroom is a space where students and learners can have the opportunity to explore their own thoughts, develop critical thinking skills, and express themselves in a creative form, in a safe and accepting environment.
Art has no boundaries, no specific language or requirements. I aim to create an inclusive environment in the art room.
​
Art education should encourage students to think outside of the box and express themselves. Students can develop as artists but also as individuals. I advocate for fostering an environment that motivates students to engage in experimenting with new materials or ideas and make mistakes. Through these strategies, I believe the learning allows for a more personalised and meaningful artistic experience.
​
I believe as I continue to have the opportunity to teach students about the world of art, I will always be learning alongside too. Providing students the skills and knowledge to develop creativity, critical thinking and self-expression.
