This is Zartasha Shah. I'm pursuing M.Ed in Curriculum and Instruction with an emphasis in Art Education at College of Education at the University of Houston main campus in Houston, Texas. I'm not registered for spring 2016. I'll take fall 2016. My major revolves around art history, art education, art (studio and graphics), curriculum and instruction, and speech. It establishes a practical approach to develop the knowledge and skills of students in art history and art education. It introduces a contemporary approach to share several methods and materials in details and highlights the issues that are causing problems for others. It develops the knowledge of community-based education by explaining the details of the strategies that are playing an important role in this specific field of education. It helps students to understand the importance of art education, art history, technology, research, community-based education, criticism, and curriculum and instruction. It helps students to achieve their goals and also helps students to work for non-profit organizations, art promoters, art historians, art educators, museums and galleries, and community workers. The awareness of the environment, the current position of the system, and the availability of the latest technology helps to understand the use and the availability of these facilities in our lives. The students are able to develop their knowledge, skills, and abilities through the experiences of their lives. To develop the sense of creativity and performance and to achieve their goals in their lives, they learn several things in the college of education to face the challenges of their lives. They collaborate their customs with their traditions to observe the values and the importance of both by learn about the diversity of these cultures. The final results can tell about the quality of their observation and judgment to us. The collaboration for activities and presentations help these students to understand each other. The process of research is also very vast and it has several challenges for them. The field of visual and performing art is an important part of education and visual literacy plays an important role in it. The education and the skills of an artist, a musician, a dance Instructor, and a theater Instructor are very important in the field of visual and performing art. They are the ambassadors of their countries. They educate, entertain, and inform their viewers through their performances, works, and skills. The use of the research and the modern technology is more about learning about the 21st century skills, curriculum and instruction, discussions, and the rubrics of it. Constructivism is an important part of the learning process and Structuralism is also has an association with it. The role of a community is very important in the life of an educator and a student. Humans are social therefore; I like to share my talent, skills, and knowledge with fellow artists, educators, and others. My works as an artist, graphic designer, photographer, curator, article writer, volunteer, part-time teacher, poet, and a students are able to share my selfless services in the state of Texas. It develops the knowledge, skills, and abilities of students in their society. Community reflection, community investigation, and community education plan assignments are very broad and they expand the knowledge of students through the process of learning, investigating, and researching. Art education revolves around the teachings of art and art education. It expands the horizon of knowledge by adding more information about art, art education, museums, galleries, art promoters, art historians, art educators, non-profit organizations, institutions, and community workers to it. Visual culture, visual literacy, and media are very important in art education. The use of the latest technology, devices, and visual aid expands the knowledge of students by sharing more information with them. Online articles, magazines, virtual tours, databases, newspapers, books, and other supportive materials also expanding the knowledge of students at schools. Educational videos, audios, channels, documentaries, and games are also a part of the visual literacy. It is also developing my knowledge in the field of education at my department of education at the University of Houston main campus in Houston, Texas. Zartasha Shah
