Teaching is a process of learning from your students and the community. Every classroom has its own unique community; my role is to help each student develop their potential within that community. I present a curriculum that provides content relevant to the students' lives that will incorporate different learning styles, where students' needs will be prioritized. The curriculum will engage and activate students' learning through hands-on learning, cooperative learning, projects, themes, and individual work. In my class, students will be assisted in developing their own research, experimentation, and reflection as it pertains to art and praxis. I want students to be able to build a community and space for themselves in and outside of my classroom. Working in the field of art can be isolating, as many artists tend to work alone once they leave the university setting. My drive as an educator is to ensure that students know they have peers who share their feelings, regardless of background, and can rely on each other and me, as their instructor, for support as they navigate the challenges that come with being a lifelong learner and artist.
