Welcome to my Education Gallery!
My name is Julie and this is a blog which documents my experience in education. I have created this site with the idea of an art gallery in mind. Every piece of art in a gallery is unique, is produced by the original mark and mind of the individual, is created in a different culture and background, and requires the viewer to think critically, reflect, and utilize their knowledge to make sense of it. This is what we do when looking at each of our individual students in our classroom.
I attended the University of British Columbia where I completed the Bachelor of Arts degree with a Major in Visual Arts. I later went on to complete the Bachelor of Education degree in Elementary Education, which had been a goal of mine since a very young age. I have since focused my studies on Early Childhood Education. Education and, more specifically, teachers have played a major role in shaping my life in and outside of the classroom. These role models have inspired me to move down the path of a teacher in hopes that I can continue inspiring others to be who they want to be.
“All children are born artists, the problem is to remain an artist as we grow up.” – Pablo Picasso
All of the art work exhibited on this site has been created by students I have taught.
