I want to be an art teacher for several reasons. I have always been interested, enjoyed and was good at art. I always knew I wanted to have a career in art but I didnt know exactly what. from when I was in 8th grade I had my heart set on being an interior designer, so I majored in it for a semester. I enjoyed some aspects but it just wasnt for me. Two summers ago I started working at a 4-H camp and started teaching classes. I realized how much I loved working with kids and being the leader of a group. Since I loved art so much, I thought art education would be the perfect combination. I also thought it would be a career I would be happy doing for a long period of time
