About 'art education college'|why a liberal art education matters…








In               college,               I               majored               in               art.

My               plan               was               to               become               a               studio               artist.

When               people               would               suggest               art               education               to               me,               I               would               tell               them               that               I               was               not               interested               in               teaching.

I               was               in               it               for               the               pure               art               and               expression               and               not               going               to               baby               sit               children.

At               that               time,               I               would               have               never               have               been               caught               dead               as               a               teacher.

I               received               my               Bachelor               of               Arts               degree               in               1993.

After               graduation,               I               was               thrown               in               to               the               real               world               of               rent,               car               payments               and               bills.

I               was               forced               to               go               out               and               get               a               real               job               to               pay               the               bills.

Reality               was               that               in               my               town               that               I               am               from               in               North               Carolina,               it               was               a               very               slim               chance               that               I               would               have               been               able               to               make               it               on               my               art               alone.

I               spent               the               next               ten               years               working               full-time               and               doing               my               art               on               the               side.
               Then               I               had               a               baby               (another               thing               I               thought               I'd               never               do).

I               quit               my               full-time               job               to               become               a               stay               at               home               mom               (yet               another               thing               I               never               thought               I'd               do).

When               my               baby               was               2               ½,               she               was               taking               some               extra-curricular,               after               school               type               classes.

One               day,               we               went               and               it               was               time               to               re-enroll.

They               suggested               taking               an               art               class.

I               told               them               about               my               art               degree               and               that               we               do               lots               of               art               projects               at               home.

The               owners               immediately               offered               me               a               part-time               job.
               The               offer               intrigued               me.

I               agreed               to               attend               an               art               class               with               my               child               and               I               loved               the               concept.

I               observed               another               class               as               a               future               teacher               and               I               really               enjoyed               it.
               I               started               out               two               years               ago,               teaching               one               class               a               week.

Now,               I               am               teaching               four               classes               a               week               in               a               two               day               span.

It               took               me               a               little               while               to               get               into               a               groove               and               figure               out               my               personal               teaching               style,               but               it               is               second               nature               to               me               now!

I               am               very               relaxed               and               give               the               children               a               lot               of               encouragement.

In               my               class,               there               is               no               wrong               way.
               I               am               constantly               amazed               at               what               these               kids               can               do!

It               fascinates               me               how               I               give               all               ten               children               the               same               materials               and               each               result               is               completely               different               and               unique               as               the               child               that               did               it.

Art               is               my               niche               and               I               enjoy               sharing               it               with               them.
               There               are               many               places               that               teach               art               in               this               same               manner,               as               an               after               school               program               or               extra-curricular               activity.

You               do               not               have               to               be               a               certified               teacher.

It               gives               a               great               opportunity               to               try               teaching               on               for               size               and               see               how               it               fits               you!

This               also               would               be               a               great               part-time               job               while               you               are               still               in               school.
               If               I               had               gone               into               art               education,               I               would               have               been               in               an               art               career               field               teaching               future               artists.

I               would               have               been               working               with               different               mediums               and               sharing               what               I               know,               rather               than               working               in               retail               or               working               office               jobs!

Plus,               teachers               usually               have               great               benefits,               even               if               the               pay               is               not               exceptionally               great.
               I               wish               I               had               tried               teaching               or               at               least               researched               working               in               art               education               a               long               time               ago!

I               encourage               you               to               consider               art               education               instead               of               just               plain               art.
