What is more Important, Art or Teaching?

As an art educator, I believe that teaching must come first in the profession.  It is important to know the content area of art, but our students must be our priority.  Without these students, I wouldn't have a job. My passion is working with students and helping to prepare them for their future.

Do you need to be an artist to be an art teacher?
I believe that as a teacher it is essential to be an artist yourself.  Students will have more respect of a teacher if you are practicing what you preach.  If you are teaching skills then you need to be able to do them proficiently.
