Description
Acrylic painting of a sun in the top left corner, a tree in the bottom right in a grassy landscape. The colors used were mixed from red, blue, yellow, and white
Rationale
My teaching approach is enriched by a diverse set of skills, including curriculum development, art history, and interdisciplinary instructioThe artwork shows that I understand how to mix primary colors, and blend them to create something more. I chose to do a landscape because I felt I could show these skills the best. with the blending of the greenery. I strive to incorporate innovative methods that empower students to discover their unique artistic voice while honing fundamental skills.
Artist Statement
I created a warm colored landscape, using 3 primary colors where I used a hint of yellow in everything to bring everything together. I wanted to create a warm serene peaceful scene.

Description
I assessed the final products of the student’s worked with the rubric presented to the left. I chose to do a 4 point scale since that is what the students are used to and what my cooperating teacher uses.
Rationale
I would look at the final design of their character as well as their artist statement that explained who their character was, the backstory, how it connect to them personally, as well as how Rebecca Sugar’s creation influenced the making of their character

Another studio assignment

Description
It is a photo of me in a ¾ side profile and in my arms, I am holding my beige/blond small pomchi in my arms, but her fur is cut short and a pink collar but where it snaps together it is black. She is yawning and her ears are pointed upwards, and I am mimicking her, my mouth is wide open as I am looking at her. I have long dark brown wavy hair with the fronts a little reddish color. I have a red, orange, and pink thin striped crop top with spaghetti straps. The colors of this piece are all warm tone yellows, pinks, and browns.
Rationale
My piece connects to the unit’s big ideas by incorporating the ideas of family and clinginess like featured artist: Cbabi and his painting of a father and his child on his shoulders. It also connects to the secondary artist Aliza and her work and represents people she believes are important (me showing my relationship with my dog is important). We are the only subjects, nothing else taking away attention or to divert your eyes. Our bodies create a heart shape by the way I am carrying her and how she is positioned.
​
Artist Statement
This is a painting recreation of a photo of me and my dog, our bodies create the shape of a heart, the colors were all mixed from primary and white.

Pal 2 Submission 1
I participated in an event for highschoolers around the area of Bloomington Illinois and the surrounding towns. I was an assistant to another art educator student who was teaching them the group of highschoolers about culture and what symbols represent them, and they eventually painted those symbols on Tote bags which they were able to take back home with them.
