Teaching Artist Legacy Statement

Legacy Statement

As a teaching artist, I use social emotional learning and visual art to help my students connect with self and others. My lessons help students and professionals with self expression, self regulation and social awareness. My hope is that the work I do with participants will enrich their ability to connect and be authentically themselves.

"Having the opportunity to work with AFLCT has been truly beneficial; they've provided unique experiences that have positively impacted our students. Their professional artists are strong role-models who encouraged students to take risks, find their voices, and be confident young people. They assisted in the process of inspiring our students to discover their individual identities and be able to self-assuredly express and share their ideas and opinions."

Description

I often include different cultures into lessons. This usually includes, colors, patterns, clothing, food, forms of art and examples from said cultures. It will sometimes include history and geography as well.
