I love how you plan on using your experiences of the world and different cultures to inspire your students. I don't recall much of art classes in secondary school, but what I do remember was fairly generic stuff. I wish I had had an art teacher that was willing to expand my view of art. Though I've known you for a while now, I did not know that you were musical. Did you play an instrument? Do you still play?
Hi, Kelsi! As an avid traveler, you seem to be well-versed on cultural cues. That's super neat. Have you considered meshing your love of the world with teaching, perhaps taking a job teaching abroad?
Hey Hannah, I definitely plan on teaching abroad after grad school, but I'm not sure what route I want to take. I feel like I need a better grasp on Spanish and another language to stay competitive. I feel like that will give me a wider variety of countries to choose from. I have always wanted to visit Italy, and have yet to go to an Asian country.
Hey, Kelsi! It’s good to learn more about you. My question for you is, as far as your art is concerned, what are your favorite mediums to work in? Also, when did you first know you had an interest in art and what inspired you to keep going with it and to teach it?
Bri, My grandparents always kept my drawings and sketches. I don't remember when I first started but it always felt natural. I had to fight with my parents to start taking actual lessons though. Art is expensive when it comes to formal lessons and methods. My room was my studio until I came to college.
I explain my passion for art and majoring in art for undergraduate school like this: Art is the only thing that I can see myself doing for long periods of time without getting bored. So why not try my hand at trying to inspire students to love the arts as well?
Hi Kelsi! I really enjoyed reading your biography! I look forward to getting to know you more this year. My question is who is your favorite artist and why?
I would say that as far as aesthetics, my favorite artists are Vincent Van Gogh and the Impressionists. Another artists that I like are Salvador Dali, Frida Kahlo, and Vigee LeBrun. Van Gogh's romantic and troubled past were always interesting to me; and the color theory is what I love the most. Check out the background history of "Starry Night" when you have a chance. It is one of my favorites by Van Gogh.
Hello! I love that you also have a love for traveling! Where in Europe did you travel to? Also, I saw that your mother expressed the importance of knowing multiple languages. Have you learned another language?
Hi Kelsi! I'm glad I'll be working and learning with you again. It's also good that we GC art students stick together. How different do you think this program will be from what we were used to in the art department? No more studio classes for us.
Hello, Kelsi! I feel like I can really relate to your experiences and passions! I'm also bilingual and I have a love for fine arts! Have you ever considered teaching in a different country? Maybe teaching art in a place with lots of rich history of art would be fun!
Hi, Kelsi! I really enjoyed your bio. It sounds like you have had some pretty awesome experiences! I What made you decide to do the MAT program instead of Art Therapy like you originally planned?
Hello Kelsi, we have alot in common. You mentioned your father was an Emory grad, so was my mother, she studied Art. Just curious, what did your father study?
It sounds like you have had some great influences that will help you expand the world for students through art! I am certainly jealous of all of the places you have gotten to go to and cultures you have gotten to experience. How has this world view expanded your art and how do you plan on using your experiences to inspire and educate your future students?
Hey Kelsi, I love reading your bio and you seem like a very passionate person-especially about art and culture. What kind of art would you like to teach, and how do you think will incorporate your love of Spanish culture into your teaching?
In high school we had many different types of art classes offered such as 2D and 3D along with painting, sculpting and many others. What type of class would you enjoy teaching?
I love how you plan on using your experiences of the world and different cultures to inspire your students. I don't recall much of art classes in secondary school, but what I do remember was fairly generic stuff. I wish I had had an art teacher that was willing to expand my view of art.

ReplyDeleteHey Kinsey,
DeleteWe went to the village of Sowetho, Cape Town, Sun City Resort, Robin's Island, and the Cape of Good Hope.
