Art Teaching Examples and Demonstrations

Jamie's Teaching Background.
For the last twenty years I have been teaching art in Northamptonshire at a local secondary school and for the last ten years I have been teaching adults at day and evening classes. As part of my practice as both an artist and teacher I enjoy passing on my skills as well as exploring new ones. This practice requires me to make good examples and give demonstrations to my classes that inform and inspire them to learn how to paint and draw. We have tried techniques in acrylic paint, pencil, colour pencil, biro pen, ink brush and pen,charcoal, oil pastel, collage and mixed media. We have even made lino-prints! Adult Classes The adult classes are in a series of ten lessons usually and cover a variety of subjects from term to term. We have looked at animals, abstract art, landscape, seascapes, portraiture and still life. Every year we now run an art exhibition in which students have the opportunity to share their favourite piece of work with others. All students are taught individually according to their own skill level and so some are beginners and others more advanced. My background in teaching in a school setting means I am used to teaching all levels together. |
