I hope to encourage students to become more aware of their surroundings and circumstances. I hope that by taking a more unique approach to art making students will be more willing to question what they take for granted. I want students to be empowered and willing to see the world with new eyes. I hope to help students to develop positive questioning attitudes and to be productively critical about why things are the way they are through considering the context of everything and the unrealized role context plays in life. I hope to help students become better critical thinkers and better members of society and the world. I want to give students the tools to succeed in their lifelong quest for truth and understanding.
