blog #21

Since you are an artist, your teaching portfolio should include some of your work. Choose a few works to share on your blog (school appropriate) that you think would show a breadth of your skills. Describe your strengths and weaknesses as an artist. Discuss the medias you would like to teach. Describe how you will get more proficient at medias that you are not familiar with since you might need to teach them.

My strengths as an artist is when I can find the time I will make a piece of work rather nice. The weakness is that I do not have the time or can make time for new creations. Also my weakness is the human anatomy which I need to work on. I do not use color as much as graphite and charcoal. I could use help on ceramic skills and graphite design-like software programs.Someone once told me to say yes to all opening whether its ceramics or 3-D design and prepare yourself by being a step ahead of your students, It's a marathon not a race to be proficient in all art courses. I like the idea and to add I would practice mini lesson examples to get the hang of each media.
