Mrs. Alvarez
Hello, I'm Mrs. Alvarez, Art Teacher at Sharyland High School with an all level certification in Art Education. I'm excited to be working with a great team in the Fine Arts Department and a great school district. As an Art Teacher, I'm most aware of the importance that learning art has many advantages, including:
- Creativity: Art can help students develop their creativity, imagination, and originality.
- Critical thinking: Art can help students learn to think critically by approaching assignments from multiple angles.
- Problem solving: Art can help students learn to solve problems by simplifying complications that arise.
- Self-confidence: Art can help students feel proud of their accomplishments and boost their self-esteem.
- Emotional intelligence: Art can help children learn to communicate their emotions nonverbally.
- Cultural awareness: Art can help students learn about different cultures and traditions.
- Motor skills: Art can help children develop fine motor skills and visual-spatial processing. These skills can be applied to other academic subjects.
- Stress reduction: Art can help reduce stress and provide enjoyment.
- Social skills: Art can help students meet new people.
