Growing up, art remains an important and beneficial aspect of my life. It is an outlook to express myself, and when I am creating, I feel at peace and in the end, proud of myself. It is my belief that art can be of great benefit to young children,and my experiences support that. Art class is more than simply arts and crafts. In my classroom, art can and will be used to teach valuable lessons about important subjects, including individuality, personal confidence, compassion, culture, and social justice.. Each and every student brings value to the classroom, and will be encouraged to express themselves. I strive to create a classroom enviroment that is safe, welcoming, open and comfortable.
