Write and reflect on the professional qualities of your dream job.

My dream job as an art instructor, up to this point, would be in a middle school. I like the age group best of all, from my limited experience. They are very capable and willing. Most of the students at this age have some confidence as artists, which is one of their greatest assets.

Control over the student projects is a must. I wouldn't mind creating lessons to fit into a curriculum or even teaching a lesson that was popular. However, I need control over the majority of the lessons that I present to students. I want to be able to maximize the students' experience and I don't believe that I would be able to do that if I were teaching lessons that belonged to someone else.

My dream job would have helpful administrators that nurtured the needs of art students and understand the importance of art in a well rounded education. A nice budget and proper facilities with plenty of storage are always welcome. Proper facilities in my eyes, is an art room with many sinks, plenty of room to work with, plenty of natural sunlight, good ventilation, and access to technology. A storage room and a kiln are absolutely necessary at my dream job. An organized area for students to keep their materials and projects would be fantastic as well.

My dream job also requires air conditioning. I love air conditioning.
