Here's a little about me and my philosophy of teaching. I have a Masters in Art Education from UGA, a post-baccalaureate certificate in Nonprofit Management, and a PreK-12 Teaching Certificate in Art. I have taught in a variety of community and school settings, with roles such as Art, STEAM, & Music teacher at Holy Cross Lutheran Academy in Sanford, FL, lead art educator of the Greensboro Children's Museum in NC, a lead teacher at the Lyndon House Art Center in GA, a lead preschool teacher at Arrow in GA, after-school teacher at Westlake Elementary in Santa Cruz, & more. Kaiwa means "conversation" in Japanese. It is a place for the brilliance of children's ideas and dreams to be heard, valued, and shared. In Kaiwa's model, art emerges from dialogue, play, and experimentation. Kaiwa believes quality art education should engage children in an authentic art practice personal to them and their growing understanding of the world. Teacher Keara creates intricate lesson plans that weave history, science, skills, & technique building with creativity. Kaiwa believes that all children have their own stories to tell and wondrously different ways of telling them. As I began to engage in conversations with children during art-making, asking silly and serious questions, I was amazed by the power of children to synthesize knowledge, weave complex story-lines, and experiment with materials in personal and novel ways. I also quickly noticed the excitement of children when allowed to tell their own stories and create art in a spontaneous and free environment. Kaiwa believes great ideas develop alongside feelings of freedom and joy. Kaiwa gives students the freedom to express their creativity, ingenuity, and joy as an emergent process. Kaiwa develops projects that respect the intelligence and auton Update description

And for the last one, here's how we started the week! As the campers arrived, they drew a card from a hat with a simple instruction such as "draw circles" or "draw dots and dashes"... with everyone working together they created this beautiful painting!
