art education:
My primary goal as an art teacher is for my students to feel a sense of accomplishment and to develop a lifelong appreciation of art. Ideally creative thinking is carried to other disciplines and the art making inspires students to continue to pursue creative endeavors
Teaching styles and techniques evolve over time. Applying diverse methodologies helps a teacher to connect with each individual and challenge him/her to learn in a variety of ways.
