Masters Seminar in Arts Education

This class helped me clarify my concept of a teaching artist and find keywords that would become my vision, philosophy, and symbol as a teaching artist.

​A teaching artist is a professional artist who also works as an educator, combining their artistic expertise with teaching skills to engage and educate students. Teaching artists bring their creative talents into educational settings, such as schools, community centers, museums, and other learning environments. Their goal is to inspire and guide students in developing their artistic abilities while fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation for the arts.

Teaching artists often collaborate with classroom teachers to integrate arts education into the broader curriculum. They may lead workshops, residencies, or long-term programs, tailoring their instruction to align with educational goals and standards. Through hands-on activities, discussions, and projects, teaching artists aim to nurture creativity, critical thinking, and self-expression in students.

​This class started with the setting that I would have the opportunity to explain my work to future juniors and people. "Please introduce your precious artifacts to future art educators so they can learn about your current art experiences! Please share the following in a 2-3 paragraph letter with a small sketch or photo." The assignment with the title was interesting and beneficial. Through this class, I was able to think about research-based art and read Elliot Eisner's papers that became the basis of this theory.

​This class was a time to look back on my records, life, and career as an artist, which will serve as a cornerstone for creating the final portfolio.

​Through this class, I was able to write an artistic mission statement in your portfolio. At the same time, I created a website for my portfolio in WordPress.

​Through this class, I learned how to analyze and approach my artwork in a more research-based way.

​Through this class, I was able to summarize what I learned about art education.

​This class was a fun time to create my own trading cards while considering symbolism.

​This class was a time to summarize my teaching statement and educational philosophy as an artist.

​This class taught me how to write an infographic resume as an artist.

​This class allowed me to create a portrait research portfolio.

This time I will be encouraged to write research interview questions for the teacher or artist.

​During this class, I asked interview questions to the artists and teachers I was researching and organized the answers.

​In this class, I learned how to visually and analytically process interview data back into secondary data.

​In this class, additional interview questions were organized and made into a presentation file.

​In the final class, I completed my own capstone portfolio.

​Through this class, I was able to complete my own wonderful capstone portfolio. Compared to the one I made before learning theories and methods, this portfolio is a perfect portfolio that is more professional, logical, and artistically sophisticated. I think it was very valuable that I was able to create my own portfolio that will remain as a long-lasting record through this class. This is very rewarding, not only because it is a product of this class, but also because I have a tool that I can continue to use as an artist in the future.
