My Philosophy of Art Education:
Art Education is not about a perfect product. It is about the exploration of styles, imagination, materials, and personality that leads to a product. Art Education allows even those who feel they do not have what people may call 'artistic talent' to show that they indeed do have an artistic talent. There is an artist in everyone, and a meaning in every piece. Art Education is about looking beyond the product into what went into creating it, and the knowledge that is expressed through the details or lack of details in each creation. It is the process that must be appreciated, as the process is what gives us insight into who the artist really is.
