I believe all students are capable of learning, although each student learns differently. In order to create an optimal learning environment for all students, educators must make sure each student's learning needs are being met. Educators must also take care to provide interesting and relevant lessons to their students in order to create a classroom in which students want to learn. I believe all students can learn to express themselves through art. Art is a priceless tool for self-expression, and through it, students can communicate their thoughts and feelings.
Art is a wonderful medium for the development of imagination and creative thought.
Through competent and creative teaching, all students can learn to use art as a means of expression and communication. I believe that through the study of art, students will become more culturally and historically aware. Through the examination of art through time, students will realize that all cultures produce some type of art. By creating projects based on the art of other cultures, students will develop an appreciation for different societies and ethnic groups. I believe teaching art in our schools is essential to the development of creativity, self-expression, and self evaluation.
