Art Educators play crucial roles in the well-rounded social and emotional development of students, from early childhood into high school and beyond. They help instill or grow creative skills and aptitudes that students will use throughout their lives, regardless of their eventual professions or life choices. It can be hard to quantify the tangible benefits that youth acquire from learning about and creating art. Because of that, some teachers (and parents) may not fully appreciate the value of art lessons for students of all ages. Nonetheless, Art Educators must stay positive and press on, confident in the knowledge that their work makes a major, long-lasting (and sometimes life-changing) impact in the lives of every student they teach! 

Art Educators may sometimes experience frustration if their STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) peers hog more of the limelight. That said, recent years have seen the evolution of STEM into STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math) as both the worlds of academia and business realize the vital role that art and creativity play in the development of STEM innovations. 
 
Recent times have seen an increase in the use of technology in the classroom and a rise in distance learning when appropriate for student safety. Art Educators have had to stay flexible and work with these changes, using them to promote the creation of art in exciting new ways (such as making contemporary digital art). Indeed, digital art has been transforming the art scene in recent years, making its way into museums around the globe!  

As you guessed by now, most Arts Educators loved creating art growing up. Many had an early aptitude for drawing or painting; others might have discovered art in their teens as an outlet for expressing their ideas, inner thoughts, and occasional turmoils. Although there’s a stereotype about the “restless” artist, a lot of artists are not only quite happy and content but passionate about sharing their enthusiasm with others. This desire to teach is also a trait that might have been developed early on, perhaps through helping younger siblings or classmates.
