Starting new Teaching Position

I am excited and nervous about my new full time art teaching position that I will be starting at Seaman High School. Sharing and working with young artists is exciting, challenging but mostly rewarding. The courses I will be teaching are 3 courses of ceramics, 1 class of watercolor and 1 art history. Really nice to have a variety of course work to instruct. Cannot wait to start in August!

Reasons Why Art Education is So Important

1. Making Art involves critical thinking & problem solving.

2. Art empowers students to take risks & do something different.

3. Art teaches commitment to learn a skill and complete a project.

4. The Arts are an extension of other curricula. Math, Science and Language are all needed to create.

5. Art equips students with a diverse set of skills needed to enter institutions of higher learning and the workplace.

6. Art builds relationships between students and teachers and among peers.

7. Involvement in the Arts improves self-esteem and builds confidence.

8. Art teachers students to be more tolerant and open through multicultural historical perspectives.

9. Art develops a students ability to critique their own work and that of others and knowledge of how to make multiple revisions to create high quality work.

10. Art helps a child develop emotionally and socially, contributes to a positive work ethic and pride in a job well done.
