Teaching and being taught

I love the idea of becoming an art educator. As I pursue this avenue of my life I wonder where it will it take me. But, more so I find myself working in my studio to explore my ideas and how could I take them into the classroom is huge for me. regardless of the type of art I've started looking at it different, how can I simplify it for my kids and will they have fun creating it? The one thing I've learn more than anything is not what they make but how they go through the creative thinking process. The vocabulary of art, teaching them the design elements and principles, and encouraging them to learn more about art. When you see a child's eyes light up with the "I get it" beam, that is so cool! Well, its time to create. Take care, God Bless and let the creative juices run freely! :)
