philosophy
My
objective is to foster critical thinking in my students. Through my
curriculum design and focus on interdisciplinary thinking; students
identify how art mediums converge, and how art and contemporary society
converge to reflect this. My focus is on how art and media [such as
film, video and digital media] affect students individually and as
a society; students examine the ways in which media produces universal
truisms. One of my foremost concerns is for students to be challenged
to find their own individual perspective. I put emphasize on students
articulating their viewpoints through an analysis of art, media and
through providing examples from contemporary experience. Students
in my courses become empowered in their interactions with mediums
discussed, with a focus on them finding their individual voice when
working with them. I strive to inspire my students to maintain a spirit
of critical inquiry.
