Spring Semester of 2013
During my undergraduate study at MassArt, I had the opportunity to teach through Saturday Studio with my Professor Laura Reeder and Dave Ardito.
I taught Mixed Media Sculpture with another teacher Heather Falardeau. This course is offered to students in grades nine through twelve to part take in making literal or abstract sculpture. We used a variety of materials to provide students with individual and collaborative art-making opportunities. Through this opportunity, it allowed me my first opportunity to apply my skills, abilities, and knowledge of teaching art.
Saturday Studios is a program at Massachusetts College of Art and Design that runs every Saturday morning for eight weeks providing all students from fifth grade to twelfth grade an opportunity to take part in art-making. It challenges and supports students to problem-solve creatively and explore the art world. Students majoring in Art Education teach the classes while being supervised by the Art Education Faculty. This program supports the MassArt students and their growth and development as art educators.
