Arts Teaching Philosophy

There are things about teaching that i just know to be true. Like there are no such things as a bad student or a student that doesn’t know anything. Because when you think it when was the last time that a person wasn’t able to learn something. If someone isn’t good at one thing they can still learn other things. And if you are thinking about the subject the way that the student is thinking about the subject, then you might get why they don’t get the subject. There are many reasons why someone would not understand a certain subject.

I want to be the teacher that sees the subject from the students point of view and understands all the reasons to not being able to do one or more piece of art work. There are many stories of teachers accommodating students to teach them something that they planned to teach. Like changing the color of an lesson to an gray scale because of the color war that most gangs have in urban schools. Adding clay to an lesson because students have sensory needs.

My teaching style is someone who takes time to learn my students and makes it a priority to give them just what they need to learn and enjoy the subject that they are learning
