Bio: Madeline Wilk is an artist and educator based in Philadelphia, PA. She has experience in museum education, community practices, and teaching art to children of all ages.
Philosophy: In my teaching practice, I attempt to minimize the teacher/student power dynamic and use my role more as a facilitator to present ideas with which the students can have a free and open discussion with their peers. Through discussion, students have the space to form their own opinions and build critical thinking skills. The objectivity of art makes it the perfect subject to allow for this growth to occur. Art can connect to so many subjects outside of itself, and I find joy in seeing learners make these connections. I hope to inspire a lifelong love of learning in each of my students.
