Cylas Fox Teaching Portfolio

I am a visual artist and an Art Teacher Education student at Illinois State University. I graduated in May 2025 with my B.S. in Art Education. I have been doing art as long as I can remember, and have been interested in education since early on in my life. I started university in the Pre-Med track for pharmacy, but after taking an art history and a studio class, I realized I was much happier in the Wonsook Kim Art School. When I realized I could become an art teacher, I never looked back!

My Resume

My Philosophy

In the classroom:

Education should be for everyone, especially as an art educator it is important to make sure everyone is able to see themselves reflected in the lessons. Art is such an individual process, that as an art teacher, my biggest beliefs are about inclusivity and fostering positivity. Artists will learn through a comforting environment, encouragement, and constructive feedback.
