My Philosophy of Art Education

Art education offers discovery, learning, and problem solving. It is interdisciplinary in nature, with its ties to political and social history, language, culture, and mathematics. Because of the visual culture we live in today I think it’s becoming more and more apparent that art education is an essential part of a child’s development. The art classroom should be a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment for diverse communities. We need to support the social and personal development as well as intellectual. The art teacher should introduce and guide students in their art making processes and learning, allow them to discover on their own.
