I have been thinking about what makes a quality transformative arts teacher. I would like to ask any viewer to comment and add to the following:
Three values that I would like my students to walk away with at the end of the year:
1. Their whole body, mind and spirit is valuable and can be a source of inspiration and strength in all of their endeavors.
2. Art should be fun! Play, experiment and create any time you feel like it. Sing, dance, make a mess and enjoy life.
3. Focusing and working on anything you want will give you results. It is important to choose something positive to work towards to have a happy life.
ok, one more
4. Art is a window to the human spirit. They can learn about themselves and the world by creating and viewing art.
What values should a transformative arts educator live or teach by? Feel free to comment or send a full post in response.
