darrell's Professional Information

I truly believe in the emphasis on art as an essential learning element for young students. Art helps these students to integrate what they have learned from other subject areas into a visual representation or expression, to think through problems and find a personal solution, path, or method that they discover on their own.

It might seem simple, but through art, I would like students to consider new ways of doing things, new ways of saying something, new ways of expressing themselves. Take what you think you know about a subject, person or theme, turn it around, manipulate it, change your perspective, and then embrace the new thing that comes out of that.

Creating and maintaining an open and progressive learning atmosphere is not only extremely difficult but also imperative to the full development of a child’s creative possibilities. It is scarily easy for teachers to fall back on the pre-existing templates for teaching art especially. However, doing so is disastrous to the full development because it leaves so much room for the student to also fall back on such templates which then denies creativity and individuaity.

Children need a source of inspiration essential to success because that diverted the entire process into a new progressive direction. It is the inspiration that creates and it is also what is so easily lost the minute children step into a classroom. Loss of inspiration means a loss of interest and drive and that is what makes the soul get tired and go to sleep. One cannot create something truly innovative if they cannot look inside themselves first. When they can do that, they can become the Picasso’s of our time because as cliche this admittedly sounds, we are so different deep down in our souls and the art is being able to locate that and express it to the world. When we are taught simple stroke methods and perfect lines, the entire essence of art is completely lost. What needs to be cultivated, and what I aim to cultivate, is the process of finding true, individual inspiration and being able to turn that into something concrete and expressive. It is then that the real art is created.
