About Me

My photo
As a youth art educator, I am self-motivated, dependable with extensive experience teaching students from diverse backgrounds including formal and informal: public schools, museums, community art centers, recreation centers, and camps. I have always had an interest in education and learning through art and in 2010, I pursued my Masters of Science in Art Education at Rochester Institute of Technology and certification to teach in New York State. This intense, lengthy process involved both the classroom and 12 weeks of student teaching. This expanded my philosophy of education and ideas about learning. I believe in curricular integration and lessons plans in art education relating to core subjects. Also, developing research strategies and curriculum planning focusing on projects is an asset of mine. Being an art educator I am always thinking creatively and adapting to new situations and have the ability to take the initiative.

Jackson Pollock

Here is the video that I found to introduce Jackson Pollock to the special education students at Christopher Elementary. It is a wonderful video gives a brief retrospective on the artist. The next lesson, I got a large piece of recycled cardboard and painted white and put on the floor. Next, I had the students put three hand prints on the cardboard. The students that were in wheel chairs got to have their wheels painted and rolled onto the board! Now we are all fully participating in the Action!
