People Know Me

Greetings humble citizens!
My name is Christopher F Fiore

Education
I received a BFA from the University of Michigan's School of Art and Design in 2010.  I am currently attending GVSU pursuing a teaching degree for art education with an emphasis in print making.

Artistic Interests
I am an illustrator and fan of graphic novels.  Something about combining illustration and creative writing into a single art form fascinates me.
My favorite artist is Salvador Dali because of his uniqueness as an artist and a human being.  The man was everything but ordinary.  I enjoy Dream Caused by the Flight of a Bee Around a Pomegranate a Second Before Awakening most out of his work.


A Short Philosophy on Art Education
As children develop intellectually so too does their ability and desire to create items pertaining to an artistic endeavor.  Children move through various stages of artistic development as they age, growing to understand tools and symbols that can be combined and used to create works of art.  Out of these stages of development many lose interest in artistic endeavors during their preadolescent ages due to the false understanding that their art is not “good” by technical standings.  At this point in their art education they must be introduced to more complex concepts of “good” art and learn a way in which they can question art itself and learn what must be done for their own work.  Through the utilization of popular culture and advancing technology art educators can learn how to prevent the end of a child's artistic career caused by their own self-imposed views of abject failure.
