As an aspiring elementary school
art teacher, I have a particular interest in the way children develop mentally,
physically, and emotionally. This
curiosity expanded into a much more broad fascination in human development in
general and the different stages one goes through in a lifetime. All my past or
current jobs have involved me working with children or people and have enabled me
to further this curiosity. I am
constantly observing and creating new relationships with people and have been
able to witness some pretty substantial stages of growth in other’s lives and
in my own. Over the past 2 years I
have gone through many trials, all of which influence my artwork a great deal,
and would like to continue incorporating the effects they have on my life in my
art.
I also have a love for color and
believe color is crucial in the depiction of a person or story. Oil pastels provide me with a nice ability
to blend together a variety of colors in my work, as well as glazes for
sculptures, or oil paint. These
are the mediums I prefer to use, but as an aspiring teacher I like to
experiment and learn the technicalities of each medium to better equip myself
for the teaching environment.
