My operating philosophy since I began teaching has been to 'think outside the desk". Whether it is using atypical materials, producing at a larger scale, having students collaborate, working with other teachers/subjects on cross-curricular projects, or looking for unusual display opportunities outside my classroom or the arts building by going outside to the broader school campus or the community at large. Hopefully, this approach keeps things fresh and gets the students to think unconventionally about what art is, what it can be made of, and where it can be shown.

Projects I have done, like the Toy Design Workshop and, most recently, the beverage product design, show how creativity is not only applicable to the commercial/practical world but, I would argue, essential to innovation.
