    Who Am I As An

    Artist
    By: Lindsey Texeira

    Strengths as an arts
    educator
    See art in all things
    I see art everywhere I go and in everything I do. I tend to look
    deeper into a sample of art, whether it may be a painting, song, play
    or any other art. I try to see every angle of the art in front of me to
    fully understand the artist and what he/she was trying to portray.

    Love to use art as an expression


    Art is a form of expression. I think for many students art can
    function as a therapeutic release of the feelings that a child may be
    withholding from the world. For me, I use art as a way of escaping
    the world and just being fully immersed in the art project Im doing
    and how it makes me feel.

    Incorporate art in different ways


    Art has many forms creative movement, plays, drama, paintings,
    music, poetry and much more. I find it important for educators to
    incorporate the arts into the everyday class schedule.

    Goals for my
    elementary classroom
    as an arts educator
    Daily Art

    Try to incorporate the arts into the classroom everyday.

    Various Methods of Art


    Songs, Dance, Imagery, Drama, Painting, Crafts, Paintings,
    etc

    Use the arts as a free time option


    Creating art during free time allows students to express a
    part of themselves.

    Exhibit area for each student


    Students should be able to exhibit their artwork in the
    classroom and choose how they want to display their work.

    Steps to achieve the


    goals
    Try to integrate the arts into other subject
    areas
    Give the students enough time to create
    quality artwork
    Dedicate a corner of the room to students
    to display work. This gives each child a
    space to exhibit what they consider art.
    Give students free time every day. Whether
    its 20 minutes or 1 hour, this will give
    students an opportunity to be independent
    and make choices.

    Artifact #1

    Home
    This is by far one of the best photos I have ever taken. This
    picture portrays the arts in many wayscolor, lines, shape,
    texture, movement. To me, this picture gives me a sense of
    home. This picture is of the pond behind my house that my
    cousins and I grew up in. The memories and fun we once had
    can never be replaced. As an artist, many of us use our life
    events to create art. I think the use of the arts in an

    Artifact #2

    Creativity

    This is one of the jewelry


    pieces I made with my
    sister-in-law. These
    sunrise shells are unique
    and hard to come by. The
    design was simple yet
    complex. Drilling holes
    into the shells was tricky.
    The soldering of the
    metals was tedious but
    the end result really
    shows the time and
    dedication needed to
    create quality work. The
    time and effort I put into
    this piece made it even
    more important and
    rewarding to me. I hope
    that my students will take

    Artifact #3

    Serenity
    This picture was taken at Hamoa, Maui. My family and I
    take an annual trip out to Hana. This trip serves as a time
    when we can get away from the hustle and bustle of town
    life or just life in general. We take this time to make
    memories and keep in touch with each other. This past
    Labor Day was the first time I took my son. Hopefully one
    day he will continue the tradition with his family. I think, as
    an artist, I need to find serenity to help me create a clear
    idea of what my artwork needs to express. I hope to create
    a place of serenity for my students so they can express

    Masterpiece
    This is a picture of my family. We are all connected to one
    another through blood in one way or another. This is three
    generations of unique individuals and together we make a
    beautiful masterpiece.
