Hello, and welcome to my blog! I have never done a blog before so this is all quite new to me. To begin, my name is Cristina McNish. I am attending Montclair State to get my MAT in Teaching Art K-12th grade. I received my undergraduate degree of a BFA (bachelors of Fine Arts) at the School of Visual Arts in New York City where I lived for 4 years and graduated in 2011. I decided to go into this field of teaching art after I taught at the Montclair Art museum, as well as being greatly inspired by a wonderful Art teacher of mine back in high school who pushed me to go down the path that I was born to go down. I strive to be an inspiration to my students, even a helpful hand when things get tough. I would love to teach high school one day. Definitely not the easiest group of kids to teach but I feel that from my learning issues in the past and my past struggles figuring out what I wanted to do, I could really relate to the students that have hard times. Art is an outlet that helped me and I hope to pass that on to my students. I have never been your average person. Being an artist, I want to explore, travel the world, teach art to poor children in other countries, and learn as much as I possibly can. I know what kind of teacher I strive to be, and I am excited to get started. Hope you enjoyed my introduction, and I look forward to reading all of yours!
