For the 21st century skills art project, we were assigned to do a "Mosaic" piece. In this project, we were given a number of themes to choose from, but I chose the career/dream theme. I was really drawn to the sports theme, however I did that theme in the most recent project we did so I decided to do something different. Since I chose the career theme, I focused my art piece on teaching. I have 2 careers that I want to pursue, however I decided to go with teaching because the other career (Radiology) was too complex and confusing to do for my artwork, so I just went with the teaching path. My love for teaching started when I was a kid because I thought they were always so nice and caring, also the idea of an educator feeding information to the upcoming generations was another thing that sparked my interest. Furthermore, I love working with kids, so that alone made my interest grow. In my artwork, I drew an apple with a pencil and behind that I have a chalkboard with a math problem on it. Also, the art work is consisted of dots from hole punchers. I thought that using the dots would be a unique idea, however it took a long time to piece every single one in the art piece. Overall, the project is just to show that I am trying to pursue the teaching field, and to show kids that you can do anything in life as long as you set your mind to it.
