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.
