My Arts Philosophy

Teaching arts is really a big scope area which includes dance, drama, visual arts, media and music. As a future educator, one must have enough knowledge in all areas of arts in order to be effective in teaching the children. It is important that I make my own philosophy in teaching arts which is my personal values and beliefs that will serve as a guideline and will be integrated in EYLF or in the arts curriculum in the school.

My philosophy in teaching arts in school is to provide opportunities for children to learn and explore the activity given by the educator and be fully engaged. My teaching process will consist of demos on how to use the material and art history relating to the art we discuss. I do not want to teach cookie cutter, cut-and-paste projects. Instead, I will let my students tap into their own inner creativity, with some guidance for the direction they should go in, to produce unique and personal artwork. I will widen their scope of learning by integrating cultural experiences as well as the modern times in all of the arts activity. Aside, I will nurture the children to showcase their own talent be in playing the music instrument, dancing, singing, drama and drawing.

I still believe in hands on experience and interactive activities for it gives more discoveries of learnings to the children. In more practical terms, my teaching approach will be one of modelling, coaching, and helping students become independent artists and art historians, so they can use the knowledge learned in my class and apply it to their future studies and life.

My classroom will offer a rich print environment where all the art materials are accessible to the children. It is at the young age that children’s creativity should be nurtured and tapping the use of the right brain hemisphere. This will help the children to be more creative and artistic with their art works. As a teacher, I want my students to learn and appreciate art and its history. It is my conviction that art is a subject worth knowing. I want my students to come away from class with a better understanding of the many forms art can encompass, whether it be drawing, painting, found objects, printmaking as well as the many new, non-conventional ways of art making. As a teacher, I want to challenge my students to become independent and objective thinkers. I want them to be able to look at a piece of artwork and form their own opinions and critical analysis’ of the piece.

In conclusion, my classroom a fully diversified culture of activity is needed in order for the children to learn different things and helping them with their journey in their future studies and life. The interaction and collaboration among students and teacher is important for a lifelong learning in all situations. Again, it summarizes the child’s expression of oneself and discovering their own special talent in the arts.
