Emma Catania: Painter, Graphic Designer, Future Educator
WHO I AM :
Art is my passion. Whether it’s painting, photography, graphic design, pottery, fashion design, or anything else you could think of, I enjoy it all. I know this is not a passion everyone shares or believes they can have, and I aim to show others how creatively lives in all of us and how it can be used. I’m hoping to achieve a further understanding of how to teach students to understand the fundamentals of art and design in a way that excites them and allows them to use the skills they learn in all kinds of ways outside the art classroom, whether that be for their personal or educational benefits. I have a good understanding of how to be a well-rounded artist and a good understanding of how to be a productive educator but I would like to better understand how to use those skill sets together.
My main goals are to meet the qualifications to gain teaching licensure, enhance my knowledge in writing lesson plans as well as executing them, and to further develop my knowledge of art history, techniques, and concepts essential to the instruction of varying disciplines covered in the art classroom.
