Meet Your
Instructor: |
My name is Mr. Steven Davies and I will be
your child's high school visual arts/photography teacher this semester, I'd like
to take this opportunity to share a few things about myself,
 both personally and
professionally.
I am in my 32nd year of teaching, all my years have been
spent at Westlake High School. I graduated from Bowling Green University with a
Bachelor of Science degree in Education and received my Masters degree in the
Art of Teaching from Marygrove College. I am married to a middle school language
arts teacher. I have two children, my son and daughter both graduated from Ohio
University. My main love of my life is my family. I enjoy outdoor activities
such as hiking, camping, and gardening. Art forms that I am most interested in
are drawing, wood, sculpture, and photography.
I
approach my teaching profession with diligence and a serious
commitment. I will do everything in my power to help your child
reach his or her full potential. My mission as a teacher is to
make the learning process thrilling life-long endeavor. I will
promote the concepts of trust and respect within my
classroom. And I will establish high expectations for the
students and hold them accountable to fulfill these
expectations.
My visual arts teaching focus encompasses two major aspects,
they are the art creation/productions aspect and the art response/appreciation
aspect. By being exposed to and participating with these two art focuses tour
child will develop a strong sense of aesthetic awareness and appreciation toward
the visual arts.
I look forward to an exciting and productive semester. Please
feel free to contact me anytime to share your ideas or concerns, you may reach
me at 899-3075 extension 2062 (WHS Art Department Office).
Sincerely,
Steven Davies
