During my time at Crescent Park and Everett Elementary schools in Sioux City, I became well versed in Discipline Based Art Education. Teaching students sequential and well articulated content creates a foundation for a young student’s visual, cognitive, and spatial skills. DBAE utilizes works of art to connect the learner to aesthetics, art criticism, art history, and production of art. This type of teaching style, reflected in my Philosophy of Art Education, is organized to create understanding of the disciplines of art at an appropriate developmental stage. Of course, I am able to adapt to any number of forms of art-based education philosophies, as is noted in this paper written for my student teaching seminar.
