Core Instructional Responsibilities
1. Academic Challenge (The Mind)
Instruction: Plan and implement a rigorous Fine Arts curriculum focused on ceramics and painting. Ensure lessons are aligned with National Core Arts Standards to prepare students for higher education or professional creative paths.
Artistic Inquiry: Foster critical thinking and visual literacy by guiding students through the creative process, historical art analysis, and formal critiques.
Technical Skill Development: Provide expert instruction in various painting mediums (acrylic, oil, watercolor) and ceramic techniques (hand-building, wheel-throwing, glazing).
Inclusive Instruction: Utilize diverse instructional strategies and scaffolded projects to ensure all learners—from beginners to advanced portfolio students—are challenged. Provide specific mentorship for students struggling with technical mastery.
Studio & Kiln Management: Maintain a safe, organized, and inspiring studio environment. Manage the kiln firing schedule, oversee the mixing and application of glazes, and ensure the proper storage and disposal of paints and solvents.
Professional Growth: Keep abreast of contemporary art trends and pedagogical shifts in art education through gallery visits, workshops, and professional journals.
Spiritual & Personal Nurturing (The Heart)
Beauty as a Path to God: Integrate the Holy Cross charism by helping students recognize the divine through the act of creation and the appreciation of beauty.
Faith Formation: Participate actively in school masses, prayer services, and other school-wide faith formation events, modeling a life of service and integrity.
Preparation for Leadership & Service
Social Justice: Incorporate Catholic Social Teaching as a framework for leadership
