My name is Jamie Schorsch and I am a member of the Southwest Region of OAEA. Since beginning my teaching adventure in 2004, I have taught students ages 5-adult with the Art Academy of Cincinnati, The Fitton Center for Creative Arts, ArtWorks, StreetSpark, Cincinnati Public Schools, and am presently employed by Oak Hills Local School District at Oak Hills High School, where I serve as the Art and Design Department Coordinator. Presently, I am also serving as High School Exhibit Chair for the Southwest Region for the Emerging Artist High School Exhibition.
I am passionate about my life as an artist and actively create and exhibit artwork. My work is heavily autobiographical and primarily focused with deconstructing concepts of Identify resulting in the illustration of social and spiritual explorations in relation to modern societal standards. When not working on my personal artwork, I design and create murals throughout the Greater Cincinnati area. The process of generating understanding that transends traditional cultural boundaries encouraging students to develop diverse approaches to interpreting the processes of artmaking, knowledge of art historical movements, approaches to self-expression, and critical analysis of images we as a society consume, is crucial to life in the 21st century. Engaging local and global communities through art is the foundation of my personal philosophy and approach towards education. I am passionate about the role of art in creating global change. As Secondary Division Chair, I look forward to creating opportunities and collaborative connections between teachers throughout the state in order to facilitate the sharing of best practices and empower members to continue to grow as leaders. I encourage everyone to actively follow the Secondary Division social media accounts to stay updated on any in person, or virtual, events; features on teacher accomplishments both inside and outside of the classroom; and resources and opportunities for our students and ourselves. |
