What do you do when a student storms out of your classroom? As a 20-year veteran teacher and art educator, I was surprised when a forty-year-old student did just that. Upon careful reflection, I realized I hadn’t properly laid the groundwork for student success in that particular workshop. I hadn’t taken into account that some students were actually terrified of drawing. In this workshop, we’ll discuss drawing styles and celebrate what we all bring to the art space. Since we’re all at different levels, I help students redefine what success means by first validating where they’re at and how they feel about drawing. Then we’ll do some simple drawing exercises together and reflect upon how acknowledging your feelings about drawing is the first step toward creative freedom.
