Academic Preparation
I chose Art Education to be my major because it allows me to teach children about the depth that art presents while also allowing me to continually reexamine the ways I teach and create art. Some courses that I find to beneficial to my understanding of the arts include:
Diversity, Pedagogy, and Visual Culture
Because of the internet and how prominent social media has become over the past several years, what is defined as 'art' has changed. Now the scope has been broaden to such a large degree that it is impossible to map out what does and does not fall under the umbrella of 'art'. I feel that this class will allow me to get a better understanding the introduction of technology and the internet effects not only how I will teach, but also what I can teach.
Foreign Studies
The world if full of different perspectives and mind sets on education and the ways to teach it. I would like to study in a different country so I can experience how certain pedagogies effect how children learn about the world around them. Experiences like these will play a large part in constructing my teaching philosophy and I want my teaching to fully represent what I believe is important in art.
