Why do I want to be an Art Teacher?

I want to be an Art teacher because i value education, i want to en-fuse my own passions/knowledge for art to help the younger generation interpret their own views through creativity.

Being creative is something that needs to be pushed, and I believe i have the ability to guide young students through the curriculum, but to also engage them with Art and to have a wider understanding of the world, by being pro active.

The best way to learn as an Artist is to go visit Art exhibitions, I find by learning how other artists interpret the world very inspiring, and this is something I would greatly encourage through my teaching.

insecurities and uncertainty

November work

I really really really really really want to be an Art teacher..

So yeah at the moment most of my focus is on PGCE'S a i feel becoming a teacher will benefit my career as an artist. Learning to use my own skills and knowledge as a creative person, to help others learn is something very appealing to me. Ive always had respect for my teachers, and it is something i strongly value.

Ive learnt how to be self critical and self reflective which is not something everyone can do.

PGCE is so competitive though since the Art cut's, 300 people apply, 20 get a place. Therefore my personal statement has to be prefect.

A few Lino Prints :)

floral

something that has come to my attention is the fact that whenever i buy something i always choose something floral or containing flowers. For example my phone case is floral, bed covers, make up bag, pencil case, macbook case, card holder, purse, bag(s), socks, lightshade, pillow plus more.

I like repetition but using repetition to create something different and unique.

LINO PRINTS coming soon!
