in Education
My creative endeavors as an art teacher provide a visual arts based approach to general education that helps students build connections to academics and explore materials to encourage their uninhibited imaginations.
I believe students should feel inspiration, passion and discovery in making their art. In the visual arts, students engage in project based learning which involves the acquisition of problem solving skills, which I think is an integral part of student ownership and engagement. As students create projects and share them with a classroom community they gain communication skills, vocabulary and social skills. The result of student projects is art that reflects ideas and concepts as well as technical art abilities.
The VSA and Accessibility Office at the Kennedy Center put together this list of performing and visual arts opportunities.
