Elementary Education
As an educator, I believe in the importance of providing children with a wide variety of exploratory and expressionistic visual arts programming. I maintain a deep understanding of the power of the art experience and use this belief to guide my student-centered classroom curricula. I am committed to building positive self-awareness, innovative thinking, and original expression in children. In the elementary classroom, my teaching practice is focused on originality and the development of visual literacy in our contemporary Canadian culture and society.
Moreover, I believe in cultivating the intrinsic creativity of every child by providing students with the opportunities to engage in imaginative art making, beyond the rote manufacturing of reproductions, and instead, teach my students to express their own creative thinking.
