Avery Claire is an exemplary art teacher because she whole heartedly believes in student-centered art education. Avery understands that in this time and age, art education needs to mold to current cultural happenings, new technologies, social issues, and contemporary art movements. She is confident in her abilities as an expert guide in the field of fine arts due to her years of experience with multitudes of art mediums. Avery believes that teaching is a form of art on its own. She believes it is about relationship building, play, experimentation, questioning, risk taking, research, and collaboration. Her favorite place to be is with young artists in the studio, working with them to take risks, question, find new possibilities, problem solve, and to beautify their surroundings.
