My Dream As An Art Teacher

Everyone has dreams and aspirations they want to achieve in life. Mines are to eventually earn my PhD in Health Management, write a book on the social economic conditions that plague Black Communities and to hopefully run for US Senate in the near not too distance future. All amiable and lofty aspirations, but one thing; that is all they will ever become unless I take ownership of my dreams and turn them into reality. Dreams can inspire you, but more importantly, goals can change your life. Taking your dreams and turning them into goals is no easy task, it often comes with a price; time, effort, sweat, determination, and sometimes money. Goals are focused and precise objectives based on real life values that requires action. To achieve any goals, you must make sacrifices, stay committed, overcome adversity and stick to a plan. But how do I turn these far-fetched dreams into SMART Goals?

An artist needs knowledge to create great art because it helps them understand the meaning of art and what they are trying to draw. Although, people believe some artists make art without having much background knowledge, knowledge helps with their true understanding of art. In Letters to a Young Artist Anna Deavere Smith states, “Well, I believe that fundamental to becoming an artist is understanding the position… It is from that position that you will

• My dream is to play music professionally, or graduate college and land a stable job. If I did not achieve this, then I would feel horrible, but try to make the best of what I have.

When it comes to goals, dreaming big is the way to go. Having ambition and striving for the top may get you farther than you ever could imagine.

Vocabulary is another skill that can be learned from creating art simply by asking children to explain their creation. They will have to talk about line shape, space, and color. This can be used as a bridge for children who have problems socializing. With art they will learn how to express themselves in a way they usually cannot verbally, and they will be able to cope with the stress of life.

Les Brown said, “Your goals are the road maps that guide you and show you what is possible for your life.” Every goal in life is determined by the actions we do now. Experiences and feeling have a lesson to teach us something new that could, later on, be applied in the future for our own good. Since I started living with my grandma when I was six years old, I had wanted to be a doctor because I wanted to help people. Activities in school are contributing their bit on the person I want to be, similarly to those special ones that will help me a lot through college too.

Everyone should have types of goals in life some bigger some smaller but a set of goals. I feel that is will better help you achieve things you want in life. It will also make it easier to organize your actions. My goal is to become a Security Technician so I will be able to provide for a future family and buy a home.

As a child, I've had many dreams and goals in my life. I do understand that the average person can't have exactly what we want in life, but anyone can aspire for a wonderful future. While most individuals can't realize every dream that comes to mind, anyone can aim for the best and set goals to help achieve what they want. Often, one would need to be successful to fulfil those dreams in our lives and that is exactly what I strive to become.

However, artistic talent does not come naturally. I have honed my skills over my entire life, gaining layers and layers of knowledge similar to how a painting becomes more detailed with additional layers of paint. When I create a piece of work, it can appear finished at first. However, when revising it later, it seems unfinished and lacking in textures and details. If I add more paint layers to fix certain aspects, it becomes a better piece as a whole. Even some subtle touches of paint can dramatically improve a piece of art. My artistic talent has also developed like this. Just when I thought that I learned everything I could about a certain area of art, I realize that I can always learn more; even little snatches of information make me a better artist as a

     People who decide to pursue their dreams know that they either have something good or bad coming. But it is usually good, because your dream is something that most likely you have thought of doing. Whether it is good or bad, a dream is a dream. All it depends on is if you want to pursue it. An example of someone who pursued a dream is?me. Going to college was a dream of mine which I pursued long and hard in my life, not only because it is the right thing to do, but because I would be the first in my family to go to college and get an education. Although the odds were against me, I tried hard and never gave up. Then I got to a point that I wanted to give up and I believed that I would never get to college, and that no one would accept me. Although I had average grades, I was in a point that I though that everything would go downhill. It was a good that I had some inspiration or else I wouldn?t be where I am now. I was raised never to give up and always try your best, because opportunities will come your way. Believing in myself I knew I can accomplish my dream and go to college. Now if someone asks me if I go to college, I just show them my Baruch identification card with pride. And I had my parents to help me throughout my years of growing up. I never deferred my dream, although I was close to. But I never

Everyone has their own goals. Some people dream to be a WWE wrestler, others aspire to become a criminal justice attorney. Goals are always varying from person to person. I have goals that I have specified for myself, academically, personally, and professionally.

I’ve always known that I wanted to pursue art education. Ever since I was a little girl, seven years old to be specific, I have wanted to be an art teacher. I remember vividly sitting in my second grade art class talking to my teacher and realizing that everyone has different skills and abilities, and that perhaps art was going to be mine. It was there in Country View Elementary School that I became fascinated with colors and the idea that an artist can start with nothing and create a masterpiece. Soon after that I came to the conclusion that I needed to do art every single day of my life. This realization that I loved creating art continued, and when I was in middle school and beginning of high school I spent several summers at a summer art camp. The camp

I would like to study illustration as it has become clearer to me that this may be the right course for me as well as the right career path. From a young age up until this day I have always had a creative drive and an interest in art. Growing up I was involved in various sorts of art projects and workshops outside of school and during school breaks on recommendation of my teachers. One of the workshops I was involved with was with Peacock Visual Arts, which is an art centre located in Aberdeen that would provide workshops to kids during the summer, it was there my passion for art, primarily sketching grew but at the time I did not have the clear focus to know what it was I wanted to study at university.

So as you have already seen how setting goals can improve your life, in school setting goals can help you plan effectively for the future by helping you to make good grades, get scholarships, and have a good career. It has been said , " a goal not written is only a wish" ( Covey, p. 95 ). So, if you have a goal it can only be met by you. Although, to set a goal and have a plan to improve your life you have to have confidence. It's always good to step out of your confront zone and achieve something that will reflect on you later in life.

I am an award winning art educator. I have been teaching art for twenty years in the community and traditional educational setting. My diverse approach to art education has been recognized on a national level through several teacher fellowships and awards.
