13. Mrs. Lyon’s Teaching Thoughts about art class
Learning needs to be fun, challenging, and applied
Everyone and thing has value, treat it as such
Self-awareness is crucial in art, being able to take risks, and challenge yourself is key

14. Lyon’s faults It’s challenging for me to spell
It take me a few months to memorize names

15. What I Expect of Each of You
To be here everyday
Ready to learn
Learning means change, when you change you challenge yourself
Take risks!
In order to learn sometimes you have to try something again or try something new
Be your best self
You don’t become better in one day, you become better each day as you make small changes, then you become great!
