Hello everyone! My name is Francis Huang and I am a junior at CSUF. I am an art education major in hopes of becoming an art teacher in the near future. Art is something I am passionate about and that is why I chose the path of art education, so I get to see others make art that is completely their own. Below in one of my own collage pieces that I had created a few years back. I really like how art is subjective because everyone has their own unique style that they get to share with others. It is so remarkable to see what others can come up with!

I live in a family of 4 consisting both my father, mother, me, and my younger brother. They are very supportive in my decision in wanting to become an art teacher. Although times may have been rough because it is competitive finding a suitable art teacher job, they're always there for me regardless. I truly appreciate them for sticking with my instincts in wanting to become an art teacher because it truly meant a lot to me.

I've always been fascinated by art ever since I was a little girl so that is what ultimately led me to realize my love for being artsy and also being able to share my love for art with others. I normally like to draw/sketch and paint, I'm not into 3D art as much as I would've liked. I have a love for 2D art and illustration that really made me realize it was what was best for me. Below is an oil painting I've done this year.

I was a hired tutor back in my senior year of high school and after my tutoring experience, I realized it was something I liked to do. I tutored students from elementary all the way up to high school. When I was first employed as a tutor, I solely taught ELD students who didn't know how to speak much English. I found translating to them pretty helpful then I moved on to teach regular students that didn't need help in English. At first it was hard getting used to teaching each student because they are all at a different academic levels but after a while it becomes a little less strenuous. I would honestly prefer teaching a subject matter that I love hence why I chose art education, I want to be able to let my students explore art and know why art is important in our world. When I was a tutor, I felt that I got along with my students so that is what made me realize why I should teach. Below is a picture of me and my ELD students back when I was still a tutor.

My favorite artwork happens to be 'The Starry Night' by Vincent van Gogh. I absolutely love the colors he used in this artwork as well as the Impressionist style in which he uses thick layers of paint to create a texture on his canvas. The swirls he made with the brushstroke are immaculate and I hope to recreate this piece one day in my own style.

My favorite things to do are eating out with friends, watching cartoons, and visiting museums because I love art immensely! Whenever I get the chance, I like to visit the Norton Simon Museum or The Huntington Library Art Museum/Gallery to look at artworks.
