brifley define characteristics and rol of an art teacher to develop creative environment ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

To compile this list, I reflected on my art teaching career and all of the amazing professionals with whom I’ve had the pleasure of working. I contacted some of the best art teachers I know to add their insight. It was so cool to see how we were all on the same page. Enjoy this list, and please, add your comments and additions!

1. They love kids.

First and foremost, great teachers must love what they teach. And, let’s face it, we really don’t teach art, we teach kids, our world’s most priceless asset! Lindsay Moss, a writer for the Art of Education, states, “Great art teachers love kids as much as their content. Children and art have a dual place in their hearts.” At the end of the day, our job is to see the potential in every child we are blessed to call ours.

2. They love art.

Now that we have established that we actually teach children, it’s still pretty important to love the discipline you teach them. Loving the visual arts is also a commonality among the world’s best art teachers!

3. They are passionate about the profession.

Over the past twenty-five years, I have noticed something else pretty exciting; the greatest and most successful art teachers are passionate about art education. They are the ones attending state and national conferences, AOEconferences, and sharing their students’ successes via social media. Melody Weintraub, President of the Tennessee Art Education Association, writes, “A passion for teaching is the number one most important thing in art education.” She added, “This passion makes for positive, professional energy that is contagious to others.” Amen!

4. They are dedicated.

Dedication is a mark of affection. Dedicated teachers are deeply committed and believe there is nothing more important than kids and art. They put time and energy into their profession in a manner that is often unequaled. We all know being an art teacher is a difficult job. But, the long hours are worth it when we see our students and programs shine.
