I have always loved learning and I want to be a teacher to help students be able to express themselves through art. Art helps me process my thoughts, without art I do not know who I would be today. I find that there is always something new you can learn in art. It is important to experiment with new mediums and techniques and that is something I want my students to do. I know that not every student will feel passionate about art making, but I hope they can find an aspect of my class that brings value to their lives and helps them learn about themselves. 

I will have faith in every student and help guide them to success. Success looks different from student to student, and the progress of learning is a success. Failure can also be successful because one can learn how to manage to make mistakes. In my classroom, I hope to teach my students skills beyond art techniques. I will embrace mistakes and encourage students to problem-solve using their critical thinking skills. I will encourage my students to discover, explore, and find their own paths, focusing on student-centered and choice-based learning. I want to consider an emergent curriculum with its flexibility and how it is based on students' curiosity.  I want to build trusting relationships with my students and for them to connect with each other. I know that anyone is capable of creating. As a teacher I will support my students beyond my classroom, I will have confidence in my students and show them that they are deserving of attention and have the ability to express themselves.
