Travis Coleman

Coleman’s innovative teaching idea, “Clay Therapy,” is focused on using ceramics to help students develop and strengthen their critical thinking skills in a relaxed and expressive environment. Coleman believes ceramics is the perfect outlet to encourage students to explore their creativity and take risks. The program will be held after school, and students will have the opportunity to participate several times per week. Coleman’s goal is to help students develop, perceive, contextualize and express — which will allow them to be more creative, analytical and free in the classroom. Additionally, Coleman hopes students will develop a sense of pride and ownership after creating unique works of art with the clay.
