I began teaching drawing on the weekends at Toledo Chinese School in August and the semester just ended a couple of weeks ago. It was definitely a step out of my comfort zone. I have always been the student; never the teacher. I was nervous at first because it is a lot of responsibility to not only conduct the class but to also make sure my students were enjoying the projects we were doing. I definitely had to pivot and change lesson plans as I recognized what my students enjoyed and what they could improve on.
Week 1: Collage & Draw
Week 2: Gourd Still Life
Week 3: Halloween Drawings on Water Color paper
Week 4: Animal Hybrids
Week 5: Self Portraits
Week 6: Drawing Animals
Week 7: Drawing Vehicles
Week 8: Abstract Drawing
This is all of the work that my students created this semester. My students learned a lot and I could see their improvement as the semester went on. I really look forward to teaching again in the Spring.
