Things are changing. Things are happening. This is exiting. And I am so very thankful to seemingly be a part of this progression.
The field of art education is changing, pedagogy is becoming more progressive, there are new ways to look art education. Looking beyond aesthetically pleasing products, to the process. To what the students learn in the process of making their art. Learning to think critically, develop 21st century thinking skills, and all the while learning to think creatively. With an aesthetic product in the end to boot! This is where art education is headed, slowly but surely. And I could not be more thankful to be riding the crest of this wave of reform. Today I was excited to attend the Colorado Arts Education Summit. See some glimmers of change in the distance as they begin to shine bright and guide others. That and I got free Chipotle!
About Me
- Valerie Wilkinson
- Denver, Colorado
- I am a lot of things, and I am still learning and figuring out exactly who I am. I am a person who loves learning, hence all my years in school, and I know there is a lot more to learn! I can say I'm an artist, an educator, a friend, a wife, a sister, a yogi. . . . . . . we are all many things and that is one of the greatest aspects of life, we can be what ever we want when ever we want!
