Would You Mind Teaching a 3D class Ms. Davis? Umm... SIGN ME UP!

In my ideal teaching situation, I am teaching all the 3 dimensional classes my heart desires! I would be helping my students to find alternative forms of art that they might not otherwise find. If someone had asked me if I was an artist in high school I probably would have said no just because no one had introduced me to the world of 3 dimensional art and while I did paint in high school, I did not consider myself worthy of the word. I feel like a lot of art students feel as though they don't fit into the label of artist because they aren't exposed fully to what being an artist can mean! One of the areas of art that are often overlooked in schools, in my opinion, is the 3 dimensional arts! I think one thing that I think will increase the success of my students in my classes is my passion for finding what everyone is good at. I took a personality test for the camp I work for and one of my top five characteristics is Individualization. I am driven to find out individual qualities about people and encourage them. I hope that everyone in my classes will feel as though they are encouraged in a personal way, not just someone telling them that their art looks nice. But for me to take the time to really help them emphasize the things that they are showing promise in. As I continue my journey into adulthood and becoming a full time teacher I want to take more classes. I plan on continuing my education by pursuing my master's degree and my PhD. I also want to take classes to further my skills in the 2 dimensional world just because I feel as though I will never be done learning and I want to be the best teacher I can for my students. Here is some work I've been well... working on!
