Looking for a few artists who want to learn or expand teaching skills.
This seminar series, supported in part by a grant from the Stockton Arts Commission, will consist of 6 monthly meetings, during which we will develop and offer 6 community art workshops.
Each artist/teacher seminar will offer a teaching theory or technique for participants to explore as a group exercise. Seminars will assume participants’ have well-developed art skills. The seminars will involve brainstorming a variety of ways to break down, communicate, and motivate students to practice those skills. Seminars will also include role play practice, allowing participants to experience both teaching and student roles.
Seminar teaching topics will include
- an overview of a basic 4-part lesson approach,
- a variety of ways to implement each part (intro, breakdown, practice, create),
- differentiating techniques for all-ages and all-skills audiences,
- how Lead Artists’ experience and research can be used to enrich their lessons,
- how to link/combine lessons to build an on-going class sequence, and
- techniques for evaluation/critique.
Seminar participants will develop and lead 6 public workshops (free to the public) at the Teen Impact Center.
