My students are eager to learn and absorb like sponges. They have hopes and dreams of using learned skills in their futures. They love being in class, exploring and experimenting the endless opportunities in art. Most of my students already have goals and are preparing for their futures in the arts. They are building their portfolios to fulfill the requirements for scholarships in colleges. They look to me as their mentor to guide them into successful careers. They want to be successful, they want to learn!
My Project
We need modeling clay to help them learn the science of forensics. We have the skulls, just need the clay. The education of forensics empowers the art student in a future of science and math.
Learning forensics combines their art experience with the STEM components as the students develop facial and skeletal construction knowledge.
Not only will the students be exposed to a highly respectable career, but the students will also go on field trips to forensic labs and meet people in this field of work.
Edmond's UCO students work side by side with the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation Forensic Department. This is a great opportunity where my students can learn to network with future potential employers as well as observe the academic process beyond the classroom.
