Courtney PerryI am a 28 year old artist and art educator originally from Seattle, WA U.S.A. I am passionate about education and the difference it can make in the world. I am also passionate about art and the important roll it can play in education. I am passionate about using our technology and resources to help every child gain access to the Culture of Power and have equal opportunities to learn and function within it.
As an art teacher, I put emphasis on learning about contemporary art. I think many art classes focus on art history to the exclusion of contemporary art and so students are unaware of the important role art currently plays in our society. I try to make a point of including both historical and contemporary references and context so students can both appreciate and create art more effectively. I did my student teaching in Washington, D.C. which was an excellent experience, and have recently been teaching at the Internationale Schule Berlin (Kant Schule - Grundschule) in Berlin, Germany. I am also passionate about science, reading and Science Fiction in general. I am currently living and art-ing in Berlin, Germany.
