Educational & Teaching
Philosophy
As the following categories inform, my goals as an (arts) educator are fourfold:
1) Arts education that practices diversity, equity, and inclusion, and that explores social justice
2) Embracing the exploration of various domains and themes through the arts
3) A comprehensive curriculum that incorporates diverse knowledge and artistic approaches
4) HyFlex art learning environment prepares for social changes
I am an art educator, researcher, and artist.
These multiple roles are inseparable from and enrich each other through comprehensive, transformative, integrative, and interdisciplinary learning. As an art educator, I strive to help students holistically synthesize, translate, and “braid” their lives, experiences, knowledge, and art. As an ever-growing educator and artist with an arts-based, student-centered curriculum, I want my students to hone their artistic practice, identify the challenges and changes that the community and the world require of them, understand what they desire and what they pay attention to, and help them to make their own progress in this vast and diverse world.
