Ms. Graham's Art Vision Statement
The vision and goal of the art classroom is to follow the TEKS (Fine arts) followed by the student learning objective (SLO). The curriculum is to rethink the significance of the arts in society in the wake of the Information Age and to better facilitate the refinement of critical thinking, problem solving, innovation, and creativity that stems from a rich education through the arts. Our students learn to cultivate a personal agency as global citizens through acts of arts-based and critical self-refinement. This work empowers our students to be effective participants in the shared challenge of navigating a world of competing visual meanings and ideas. As an art educator I will learn to open up safe spaces for this ongoing work—collaborating with my students to communicate new telling in the collective story of diverse and manifold individuals, personal , family experiences and the life we share together. Together, the arts work to tell the human story.
