TEACHING PHILOSOPHY

My teaching philosophy revolves around the power of art as a communicative tool for adolescents, allowing them to express their voices and perspectives on the world. In today's society, where imagery plays a significant role in our identity and communication, understanding the historical context of various art forms, from its early stages to the modern era, is crucial in comprehending how artworks are created and how they can impact our lives. As a professional photographer with a deep passion for the art form, I believe in sharing my knowledge and inspiring students to explore the artistic and transformative potential of photography. By teaching the technical aspects of color, composition, and artistic techniques, alongside the historical progression of art movements, I aim to empower students to develop their creative voices and engage in meaningful dialogue. I am committed to creating a safe and inclusive classroom environment where diverse perspectives are embraced, fostering an atmosphere of empathy, understanding, and unity. Inspired by a community-driven and empathetic approach to education, I am dedicated to working with adolescents to promote diversity, inclusion, and positive change through the power of art.
