Hello there!
My name is Nina, this is my first blog ever so I wanted to start it off by letting all of you out there know a little bit about me. I am a student attending the State University of New York at New Paltz, and I am a double major studying Visual Arts Education and Ceramics. I decided to go into these fields of study because I love art! (I really do love it!) I feel as though I was destined to be and artist.
When I was a kid I used to love playing pretend with my friends, and when we would pick the occupations we wanted to pretend to be I always said that I was an artists. I would take a plate and pretend it was my artist palette (haha, now that I recall these memories it seems kind of silly). Even though I pretended to paint a lot, I actually did physically make art on my down time as I got older. My parents used to tell me that I never played with my toys I would just color and doodle on my chalkboard. I was lucky to have such supportive parents and art teachers throughout my whole childhood, with out them I wouldn't have been the person I am today.
I think that is one of the main reasons why I decided to go into the field of education, as well as pursuing my dream of being an artist. I want to support and inspire my future students. I want to show students that everyone has different modes of thinking and that there is no one particular way to do so. These are just some goals that I would like to achieve in my classroom but for now I will end with a quote, "To touch art is to touch the mind; to touch the mind is to touch a life" (J. David Arnold).
