Art Education Philosophy Statement

As a teacher, I believe that visual art education is an important part of a student's complete education.  I have come to believe through personal experience that the arts teach a student to make decisions and problem-solve.  All children are unique and they need a good educational environment where they can grow physically, mentally, socially and emotionally. It is my desire to create this type of atmosphere where students can meet their potential.
