INSPIRATIONS Video

In this video presentation, Art Education Majors at the University of Texas at Austin share inspirations, influences and future aspirations (why I want to teach art, what kind of art teacher I would like to be). Dr. Donalyn Heise, Art Education Faculty in the College of Fine Arts, and her students created this video as part of the statewide arts advocacy initiative known as "Big Art Day" in Texas. These undergraduate and graduate art education majors are future leaders in the field of art education, and will be prepared to share their love of art with K12 students in schools, art museums or community settings. https://youtu.be/8eVNC7vMH6w. https://art.utexas.edu/art-education
