My Educational Philosophy

As an art teacher, I believe that art in general is an important part of education because it is a major component in the foundation of our world. Art as a school subject weaves all other subjects together & references our past, present & future. Aesthetically speaking, Harry Broudy, a well-known educational philosopher, said that the arts are necessary, not 'just nice.' Through the heightening of their aesthetic perceptions, students can find increased meaning is all aspects of life.' I aspire to show students all of the talent & creativity that they possess inside as well as heighten students' aesthetic perceptions. I strive for my students to value the world & all of the art that has been put into it.
