Art Teacher Degree: B.A. Art, SFSU, M.A.. Art and Art Education, Columbia Teachers College Credential: National University, CA Year: 2006 Years at Cortez Hill: 3 Teaching Philosophy/Pedagogy: Students learn art through exploration of tools, materials, and media. I believe every student can show his or her creativity and personal style through art. Art appreciation is explored first-hand through real life experiences – going to the museums, looking at public art pieces and in the classroom looking at slides and reproductions. Students look, reflect and then express their own ideas about what they see and how they feel. Favorite Quote: “When the subject is strong, simplicity is the only way to treat it.” -Jacob Lawrence |
