When I got to high school, I had a teacher named Ms. Lawson who was a ceramic artist. She taught me how to throw on the wheel and really drove home the fact that visual art was for me.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Currently Erin is&nbsp;visual arts teacher for Swansboro High School in coastal North Carolina,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.witn.com\/2022\/08\/31\/teacher-week-erin-strohschein\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">where she recently was honored as &#8220;Teacher of the Week<\/a>.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8221; I teach Beginning and Intermediate Visual Art, and Ceramics. I also have begun a National Art Honor Society chapter at Swansboro High School for the advanced art students.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So far, her favorite projects are the ones that allow her students to connect with the community. &#8220;We&#8217;ve done a lot with the town of Swansboro, which&nbsp;is very supportive of our school and students. Through the NC Coastal Federation, we&#8217;ve painted dumpsters for oyster recycling initiatives, we have student artwork hanging in multiple local businesses, and we participate in many local craft fairs to help support the art program. On a personal level, my design was chosen in 2015 as the HMX-1 Christmas Card that I got to personally present to President Obama in the Oval Office&#8230;. a chance of a lifetime!&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We asked Erin how her&nbsp;education at UNC Charlotte prepared her for the career she has now.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Professor Joan Tweedy played a major role in why I love teaching art. I majored concentrating in ceramics, and Tweedy, like Ms. Lawson, really passed her passion for clay on to me. It made me a better artist and helped me to see that I can be like these amazing women and pass my passion on to others.&#8221; She also talked about some of her favorite memories while in college. &#8220;I was on the small Co-Ed 49er Cheer team from 2001 to 2004 and would say many of my favorite memories came from being around that group of athletes. I was on the team that won the NCA National Cheerleading Championship in 2002. Getting that esteemed title was one of the best moments of UNC Charlotte for me!&#8221;&nbsp;She also has come back to campus recently for the winning nationals team that were just honored last basketball season on the 20th anniversary of its&nbsp;championship. &#8220;Campus has grown,&#8221; she said, &#8220;but it still felt like home.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She also gave some great advice for current College of Arts + Architecture students. &#8220;Take risks! Try new things&#8230; without getting your hands on every material the Department of Art &amp; Art History provides, you won&#8217;t know where your passion lies.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Visual Arts Teacher for Swansboro High School, Swansboro, NC<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":52867,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"no-sidebars.php","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"_clt_a11y_last_scan":"1778694913","_clt_a11y_has_violations":"0","_clt_a11y_violations":"[]","_clt_a11y_suppressions":"","_clt_a11y_needs_validation":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[173],"tags":[51],"class_list":["post-51549","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-alumni-spotlights","tag-art-art-history"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 -
