My Philosophy of Art Education
In today’s world of ever changing technologies, children are learning more about the world in which they live, earlier and earlier. As an art educator, it is of importance to me to show how relevant the value of art education is in a student’s development.
An arts education promotes critical thinking skills, increases problem-solving skills, and is directly related to improving linguistic, logical, mathematical, and spatial intelligences. My aim is to provide an understanding for the process of art making, art history, aesthetics, technology, and the roles and functions of art in cultures and societies. Through exposure to theses things, I wish for my students to discover their creative nature and the gift of sharing what they have learned about the arts with others.
