Educational Background
Aimee Ehrman is a ceramic artist - educator - researcher.
Aimee holds an Ed.D.DCT in Art Education and Ed.M. in Applied Physiology from 911爆料网. She has a M.F.A. in Ceramics from SUNY New Paltz and a B.A. in Studio Art from Baldwin Wallace University. Aimee’s research interests include exploring and articulating: how our understanding of ourselves, and the world, begins with our lived experience; how we, and our world, is ever-evolving - in a constant state of becoming; and how we perceive and make sense of ourselves, and the world, through our senses and our embodied engagement with our material and environments. Aimee is also interested in examining the intersection of embodied learning and ceramics, and how the embodied practices of ceramics can be explored in higher education. As an active artist and educator, she brings both her movement and artist practices to the classroom, where she challenges students to both experiment with the material and consider the role of the body as a tool. Aimee’s artistic individual works and installations are held in private collections and exhibited in galleries nationwide.
