Experience Summary
During my time in college, I studied both Fine Art Painting and Art Education. Getting my BFA in Painting allowed me to study many disciplines of art while refining my painting techniques. At the same time, I earned my degree in Art Education and have an Indiana Teacher's License to teach visual art to all grades. I gained a lot of experience teaching, including six weeks each teaching 3rd, 4th, 6th, and 8th grades, and a semester of student teaching high school students. I was able to teach everything from basic introduction to art to advanced ceramics.
Teaching Style
Like a lot of people, I've found that once you get the chance to teach, nothing else is as fun or fulfilling. My personality easy-going, mellow, positive, and tactful. I have found one of my greatest strengths in teaching is offering helpful and proactive feedback that encourages what is done right first, then suggests improvement where needed. In my teaching I try to focus on interdisciplinary concepts and relating art to other fields of knowledge for a more well-rounded and whole learning experience.
