Teaching Philosophy
The art classroom holds immense potential in understanding and evaluating the way we view our world, our relationship to it, and everything that persists in the world with us.
I believe in holding space for curiosity and reflection, expanding on students' own understanding on ways of being. Through creating a student centered learning environment and by incorporating problem based learning experiences, students may explore questions about the world around them without seeking out definitive answers. Each student branching out into their own journey of research and development, contributing to a diverse range of response.
