Introduction and Expectations

My name is Paige Burchell and I am studying to become an art educator.  I am double majoring in 2D Studio Art, and Art Education at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville.  I will be graduating in May, and will pursue my Masters in Education following graduation. Art has always played an important role in my life, and I believe it's an instrumental tool for education. Art is extremely important being that it is one of the few subjects that allows children to experiment, and express themselves openly.

I hope to learn how to use technology successfully in my future art classroom through this course. The use of technology in the art classroom will help students to learn art techniques, history, and culture in numerous different ways. I hope to integrate different art careers into my curriculum, which would include graphic design and architecture.  Technology is a huge factor in these careers, and having students engaged in technology will help their skills.
