High School Visual Arts Teacher - Washington, United States - Georgetown Day School
Description
Job Description
Job DescriptionAbout the School
Georgetown Day School opened its doors in 1945 as the first integrated school in a segregated city. Governed by a Board of Trustees elected by the parent body and administered by an appointed Head of School, it was founded by seven families who wanted to create a school committed not only to academic excellence and educational innovation but also to a value system emphasizing appreciation and respect for others. Believing that diversity was the ground out of which all deep and rich learning occurs, they established a school where all children would be welcome, celebrated, and challenged to be their best selves.
Today, the School's philosophy, programs, and position in the national educational landscape strongly reflect its roots. Having grown from 12 children in 1945 to 1075 students in PK-12 today, GDS is recognized as one of Washington, D.C.'s and the nation's most dynamic educational institutions.
Since the school's founding, GDS has called eight different locations home. In the fall of 2020, in the midst of the pandemic, the Lower, Middle, and Upper Schools were all joined on one extraordinary campus.
About the Position
GDS is seeking a dynamic Upper School Art teacher to teach painting and drawing courses from foundation to upper-level courses. This individual should be fully versed in the elements of art, including line, shape, texture, form, space, color and value, mark making, and experienced in using various materials. This candidate should be well-versed in traditional and non-traditional painting and drawing methods, including observational art, conceptual art, and 2D design. Knowledge or experience in digital painting and drawing is a plus but not essential. The ability to work in different media is also important. This individual should have a strong knowledge of multicultural art history and the ability to incorporate it into the curriculum. A strong work ethic that includes meeting deadlines, the ability to inspire students, time management, organization skills, and classroom management is essential.
Location: On Campus
Start Date: August 19, 2024
