This is the first in a series introducing new members of the Lake Catholic community.

卡凯恩 has always wanted to be an art teacher, 就像她妈妈一样, except for those rebellious teenage years, when no teenager wants anything to do with his/her parents.

“我十几岁的时候就叛逆了, 但除此之外, 这是我一直想做的事,” said Lake Catholic’s first-year art teacher.

尽管我是. Kane’s first year in a full-time high school classroom setting, she’s been around the art world for almost her entire life.

“I’ve been going to the Ohio Governor’s Youth Art Exhibition and the Lake/Geauga Art Show since I was five years old,”她说。. “I would go with my mom all over to different shows. So I’ve been around the art world for a long time.”

她的妈妈, 夫人. 米歇尔·凯恩, has been teaching art classes at Mentor High School for more than 30 years and has numerous awards, most recently the 2023 Cleveland Institute of Art Excellence in Teaching Award.

湖天主教的女士. 凯恩有自己令人印象深刻的履历.

She’s been a photographer for Cleveland Magazine since the summer of 2017 and John Carroll University since the summer of 2018. She also started her own photography business – 卡罗莱纳·凯恩摄影 - in 2017.

Once she got her degree from the Cleveland Institute of Art in 2019, Ms. Kane was hired for a full-time marketing position at John Carroll in the Center for 服务-Learning and Social Action. 

2020年11月, she left John Carroll to work as an assistant director at District Gallery, Shaker Heights的一家画廊. Soon after, the director left to pursue her own art career, and Ms. Kane stepped into the director role, where she learned the business side of the art world.

“I had to learn Quickbooks pretty quickly,”她说。. “I knew almost nothing about that side of things, but I’ve learned a lot since then.”

While serving as the director of the gallery, she doubled the square footage and wall space of it.

但她还想要更多.

“我靠我的艺术作品生活. I’ve been the gallery director of a studio. But the passion to share with others is what I was really missing,”她说。.

因此，今年2月，奥巴马夫人. Kane took her Art content exam and began Ohio's Intensive Pedagogical Training Institute (IPTI) through Ohio State University – an intense 16-week program that’s essentially an expediated path for working and experienced professionals to become a certified teacher. She did her field work from mid-March through May in the Mentor Schools.

“I love the challenge high school art education and students present”她说。. “I want to connect with them through their artwork – whether it’s incorporating food, shoes, sports. 无论什么工作. I want them to play to their passions. I want them to be vulnerable and eventually make them passionate about art.”

In her first year at Lake Catholic, Ms. Kane is teaching Art Foundations, Drawing, and Digital Photography and Design.

“I’ve learned in a really short time that the students really do care about what they’re doing,”她说。. “They’re coming in whenever they have study hall or even lunch and working on their 项目. In just a few short weeks, I’ve noticed a lot of kids evolving already.”

It’s not even been a month since the school year started, and since Ms. Kane’s high school teaching career began, but she’s ready to challenge her classes and move them quickly forward.

“夫人. Wolf and I make a great team as Lake Catholic's art department,”她说。. “I know that I can't do everything yet in my first year, as I have much to learn about Lake Catholic and our students still. 但是这些学生, 这个部门, and this school has a ton of potential for incredible collabs, 项目, 和伟大. 我对即将到来的一切感到非常兴奋."

音乐——“我喜欢所有类型的音乐.” She likes Taylor Swift, The Bleachers, Lord Huron, just to name a few. “I like what (German philosopher Arthur) Schopenhauer said about music … ‘Music is different from all other artforms because it alone is an expression of itself rather than something else. 音符和旋律, 不像短语和颜色, do not try to represent anything but can instead be appreciated simply for what they are.’”

Movies – “Movies are another form of art I really appreciate. I love to examine set design and pick-a-part complex storylines in movies, but the last movie I saw was Barbie at the drive-in. 哈哈.”
