Teaching Philosophy:
- While I have valuable experience in the field of art and design, it is important that I not be seen as the sole source of information in my classroom. I empower students to use and share their own experiences and knowledge to create a collaborative learning environment. With a focus on a non-linear cycle of experimentation, concrete experience, reflection, and conceptualization, my classroom involves rigorous technical and conceptual work meant to induce a more critical and inquisitive engagement with images and materials. The arts teach us that there is more than one solution to a problem. As an educator, I celebrate multiple perspectives, unanticipated possibilities, and the belief that art making has the power to transform lives.
