You as a teacher are a brand. 

Being an artist takes a lot of hard work and practice every day. It's not something you're just naturally good at. You have to keep trying, even when it's tough or people don't appreciate your work. It's important to create art for yourself and enjoy the process, rather than worrying about what others think. Just like kids who play and create without fear, artists should have fun and explore their ideas. The best part of making art is the joy it brings.


Art is a time-intensive pursuit. To create something you are genuinely proud of demands daily dedication. The journey to becoming an artist often begins with hard work and determination in school. During secondary education, it involves tackling coursework, exams, and likely being one of the most demanding subjects you take on. Then, if you choose to attend art school, you’ll spend four years honing your skills. Even after that, it doesn’t stop—creating art requires countless hours of practice every single day. On top of it all, you may need to manage other responsibilities, like earning enough to support your family, essentially juggling two jobs. Despite this effort, many people will say things like, "You're so lucky to have talent," as if it all comes effortlessly. But art doesn’t work that way. It’s about persistence, an endless drive to create and express yourself. It can be exhausting and often underappreciated since many don’t recognize it as "real work" and dismiss its value entirely. Creating art calls for patience, focus, and tranquility. With these qualities, you can do well. Yet, you also need to be ready to face failures and accept criticism. Developing a thick skin is essential because art is deeply personal--a piece you’ve poured your heart into might be disregarded by someone with a simple "this is rubbish." That’s why it's essential to create art for yourself, not for others, especially when you’re young and discovering your creative voice. Art should bring joy; if it’s not fun, you might be approaching it the wrong way. Fostering a nonjudgmental environment is key to creative growth. Children are often at their most imaginative because no one tells them that their taped-together plastic spoons don’t resemble a rocket ship. They create without fear of critique, for the sheer joy of it. That kind of uninhibited exploration is a reminder of what art should be—an expression of passion instead of perfection. If you can nurture such an atmosphere and incorporate hands-on experiences with varied materials into your artistic process or teachings, you’re already on the right path.
The process of creativity should always be it's own reward.   

When incorporating creativity in  a school setting, there are certain do's and don'ts.
