About ...
I am a teaching professional certified in Visual Arts (K-12). My lessons aim to promote global diversity, critical and creative thinking, and problem-solving to support and prepare my students for the future and its new challenges.
The cross-curricular lessons promote global diversity education by implementing multicultural topics and integrating other core subjects.
Art students can develop intrinsic motivation through humanities and self-expression and evaluation in art, which leads to internal growth and increased confidence.
By exposure to the concepts of aesthetics and constructive criticism, students find themselves striving for higher and more challenging limits in the arts and life.
Students often collaborate by providing solutions, hypotheses, or ideas within the art class. They learn how to interact with others in different situations and collaborate to understand issues, discuss to reach common goals and find solutions to problems.
Critical thinking and creative expression evoke our better human attributes of compassion and tolerance. Students view situations, strategies, and problems from diverse points of view and perspectives.
Students grow their communication skills in art class through topic discussions. They improve their social skills, learn to express their ideas and concerns and negotiate within society.
Art class is intended to be an inclusive haven for students to respect differences and freely express various points of view.
Demonstrating empathy or an empathetic viewpoint often requires firsthand experience, education, and reflection. Students are asked to reflect upon their's and others' life experiences to grasp empathy's challenging yet invaluable concept.
