Educational Technology Philosophy:
When implemented correctly, it can provide students with a variety of learning methods. It allows teachers to branch out and become more creative with how they build a lesson and make it more interactive for students. Students that are actively participating in a lesson are more likely to retain more of what they are learning and can apply it better later on. I think if teachers relied solely on using technology to teach, I there would be a lapse and other methods of teaching wouldn’t be as strong. As long as technology is used to supplement the lesson plan and not allow for a less educational lesson plan to be implemented, I think it is a great tool to be used in the classroom. In art, having students interact with a lesson plan and take quizzes throughout learning to assess their understanding as they learn can allow teachers to adjust to students needs quickly. Instead of waiting until the end of a unit, there could be understanding checks throughout each lesson to know if students grasp a concept before implementing it in their art. I would like to use technology to enhance some of the lessons taught to students but know when it is useful and when it wouldn’t be helpful. I think recording demonstrations for students could be useful for them to review at a later time but ensuring that the recording process does not take away from the live demonstration. Including more interactive presentations would be more engaging for my students than some of the more traditional ways they have been taught in the past. If students respond well, it would be something to continue implementing in my classroom and adjusting as needed.
Artist Statement:
In my ceramic creations, I immerse myself into the diverse world beneath the surface of the waves, capturing its beauty and wide variety of marine life in clay. Each piece I create is an attempt to highlight the delicate balance and harmony found in underwater ecosystems.
Ceramic sculpture seems to lend itself beautifully to bringing my creations to life above the water. Using clay allows me to throw the vessels on a wheel then add hand built marine elements to them. The glazes are constantly played with in different combinations and firing temperatures to highlight the vibrant colors of sea life and create different textures and finishes to the pieces. Growing up south of Elk Grove, CA led me to have a strong understanding of taking care of the land that takes care of you. This resonated deeply as I applied it to marine life due to the interconnectedness of ecosystems. Living in a time where climate change has been debated and the death of marine ecosystems highlighted led me to fall in love with the diversity of marine life and wanting to protect it. While ceramics is my primary medium, my practice in quilting still brushes on the need to take care of the world above and below sea level.
Even if people do not make a direct correlation between my work and the destruction of coral reefs or endangered sea life, it can serve as a catalyst for sparking conversation in daily life. That beauty will not continue to exist unless people become wiser and more conscientious about how they treat the land and ocean. I believe my creations serve as a silent yet powerful messenger advocating for the preservation of our oceans and the precious life within them.
