As a current student teacher I'm looking forward to that day when I finally have a classroom of my own. I work at a middle school with a cooperating teacher that has been so helpful, I really consider myself extremely lucky to have her! I love learning new things and the chance to become better at my teaching skills.
I absolutely love art, but even more so teaching children! So I'm excited that the two of these things are about to become one! Being able to see my students become creative, explore new things, take chances, and develop critical thinking skills that will help in their future is what I look forward to the most.
I'm sharing the video below because I found it to be very sweet and it captures what I've described above.
I have included this link below because I believe it is a good reminder that anyone can teach art in the classroom. Especially those that think they don't have the skill or are hesitant to try.
Yes, you can teach art!
