With the deadline of my first book approaching, I have uncovered a few differences between teaching art in a small group setting and teaching art in a classroom. Having a series of private workshops for the kids who are helping me with my book has allowed me to witness first hand what a private or small-group based art-making experience is like for parents and studio owners. I'm able to explore paint options and drawing techniques that I might have avoided in a traditional classroom setting but seems really natural with a small group. While the distinctions will be featured in my book, today's episode will identify my initial reactions to the differences.
Today’s episode is an informal chat about what I discovered and how it will impact my book.
IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN:
How I use workshops in my studio to help write my book
How the projects in the book differs from lessons plans found on Deep Space Sparkle
