First Meeting:
Each program begins with a one-on-one first meeting where I will review your current portfolio of work with fair, honest and constructive feedback about your expectations for artistic development.
Commitment, goal setting, visioning and learning gaps will be assessed and addressed, as will specific college requirements, application processes and career choices.
Personalized Curriculum:
You and I will create a personal study curriculum with individualized assignments that combine observational skills with personal interests and goals to create a theme and a range of work that demonstrates the passion and personal voice necessary for an outstanding professional portfolio. Artistic thinking in the form of guiding questions, limitations, experimentation, research, risk-taking and revision are incorporated as part of this program.
I will advise specific art courses at high school, pre-college programs, and other institutions to further develop your portfolio and make the best use of your time. My coaching skills allow me to help you customize a practice that empowers you to create in your own personal way.
Weekly Accomplishments:
Each week will begin with feedback on work accomplished and you will have the opportunity to articulate your intentions, success and failures. You will be encouraged to articulate your thinking about art orally, and in writing, as further preparation for the rigors of college.
I will recommend national and local competitions to generate additional recognition and scholarship opportunities.
Portfolio Assignments:
will be re-evaluated and revised over time as you develop to create the strongest possible result. Assignments will include research and writing about art as well as art creation in a variety of media. More than half of our weekly class will be devoted to supervised art creation with instant feedback and guidance. All correction will be given with the end goal of encouraging you to engage more deeply with the work.
Personal Commitment:
As your teacher/coach, I am committed to nurturing your development, to offering positive, supportive guidance while challenging your perceptions and beliefs. I pass all my learning on to you, when it’s relevant to your goals. Most importantly, I know that your artwork has to come out in your way and your style.
