You might be wondering why I decided to become an art teacher. Well, there were many influences in my life but the most important ones that were standing out were all my art teachers. They created a safe environment where I was able to express myself with all the art mediums. As a student that was struggling and other subjects. My art teacher gave me an opportunity to succeed and a medium where I felt comfortable and happy to be. Giving me the freedom to work on others' assignments once I finished my class assignment gave me the love and passion I have for it.
I want to be able to give this feeling to all my future students. I want to give my students a space where they can create artworks and just relax from all the stress around them. By teaching them different techniques of art and different artists that might Inspire them to create something new or to be even better people. I want my future students to see that's doing good in school is great but also make sure they put themselves first and are happy with themselves. There's so much negativity around future students and future adults that I want my classroom to be a beacon of light. Just like I felt when I was going to my art classes. I believe the arts is a very important curriculum in schools giving the children the way to express themselves. I know that's all of my art teachers gave me a great impression. as well as made middle school and high school time so much better. I would like to do the same for all future students that will be in my class. |
