• Middle School Visual Arts Elective Teacher

  About the Role
  The Brandeis School of San Francisco seeks a passionate, creative, and engaging visual artist to teach middle school arts electives. We are looking for an individual who is not only a skilled practitioner in the visual arts, but who also loves working with adolescents and believes in the transformative power of artistic expression.
  
  At Brandeis, we believe the arts are a powerful tool for self-expression that help students better understand themselves, their classmates, and their world. Our arts electives are not simply opportunities to learn artistic techniques; they are spaces where students develop habits of mind and heart that will serve them throughout their lives.
  
  Through the creative process, students learn to observe deeply, ask meaningful questions, brainstorm boldly, create across a variety of media, overcome challenges, collaborate effectively, communicate authentically, give and receive feedback, and discover their unique voices. These experiences help cultivate the empathy, resilience, creativity, and ethical awareness that are essential to becoming thoughtful leaders and engaged citizens.
  
  We seek artists who are excited to share both their craft and their way of seeing the world with young people.
  
  Our Philosophy: Ethical Creativity
  The work in our arts electives is deeply connected to Ethical Creativity, The Brandeis School of San Francisco's reimagining of the Design Thinking process. Ethical Creativity grounds creative work in awe and wonder while encouraging students to consider the impact, purpose, and ethical dimensions of the ideas they bring into the world.
  
  For middle school students, Ethical Creativity begins with curiosity:
  ● Experiencing awe and wonder.
  ● Observing the world closely.
  ● Appreciating beauty and complexity.
  ● Asking questions and identifying challenges.
  
  

  Students then move into creative exploration:
  ● Brainstorming possibilities.

  ● Experimenting with materials and media.
  ● Taking creative risks.
  ● Overcoming obstacles.
  ● Collaborating with others.
  
  Finally, students learn to share their work with intention:
  ● Finding and refining their artistic voices.
  ● Communicating ideas effectively.
  ● Giving and receiving critique.
  ● Reflecting on both process and product.
  
  The ideal candidate will embrace this philosophy and design learning experiences that help students engage fully with both the joys and challenges of the creative process.
  
  Position Overview
  The Middle School Visual Arts Elective Teacher designs and facilitates dynamic, hands-on courses for students in grades 7 & 8. Elective classes meet twice per week for 65 minutes during the school day and typically run for a semester. The position will begin the week of August 17th.
  
  We welcome proposals for electives that draw upon an artist's professional expertise while encouraging students to explore multiple forms of visual expression, creative problem-solving, and artistic inquiry. Current visual Arts elective courses already include Art and Design, Photoshop, and Architecture.
