At a first art lesson, you can expect to:
- Talk about anything that you have brought with you. Bring artwork that you have created, your ideas about what you would like to learn, examples, books, favorite things, etc.
- alk about what you would like to learn at art lessons
- If applicable, talk about what parent(s) would like you to learn
- Talk about what I can teach you and how that will relate to what you want to learn
- Take a tour of the studio
- Look at examples of art work created by myself or my students as examples of the kinds of art work that you might create
- Talk about a plan for art lessons: what will we do, how we will do it, etc.
- Set up a date and time that you might be coming for lessons
- Time permitting, we will do an art activity or I will do some demonstrations
And, at all lessons:
- Wear comfortable clothes that you won’t mind getting paint or other art materials on them. Don’t wear your “Sunday best!”
My Teaching Artist Private Lesson Goals are to provide:
- Formal and expressive arts instruction that is congruent with and facilitative of the student’s (and parents) goals
- For children, provide art learning experiences that are based on the Ohio Academic Content Standards for the Visual Arts
- Share my knowledge and experience with art
- Support and encourage the student in reaching his/her goals
- Emphasizing his or her strenghts and talents
- Provide achievement feedback
- Encourage and facilitate each student’s unique way of self expression and creativity!
“Every child is an artist.
The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.”
~ Pablo Picasso (Spanish Painter, 1881-1973
