Artist and Educator Documentary
This video describes my experience and goals as an artist and educator. I share my journey to become a teacher, and talk about my passion for teaching underprivileged students. My mission is to promote student-directed learning through hands-on, exploratory projects, to build students' socio-emotional communication by providing challenging, emotionally rich prompts for student work, and to increase students' technological knowledge so they can better participate in the modern world. I created this for my graduate program using the Adobe Suite.
Art Advocacy Presentation
For this project, graduate students were required to select a topic in the field of art education and then build an advocacy presentation around it.
I chose the topic of mental health among public high school students. It's an issue that's close to my heart, and I feel strongly about prioritizing mental wellness in the classroom. I was excited for the opportunity to delve into the data behind mental health in schools. The idea behind this research project is that it could potentially be used in the future to advocate for arts programs in school communities.
