Teaching can be a little tough at any level, but especially when teaching about how to paint or sculpt or other ways of expressing yourself through art. Because you never really know who is going to walk into your class and what their experience may be. Maybe they have grown up creating different pieces or playing with different forms, or maybe they are just hoping to pass the time learning something fun and interesting. And some may not even be that interested, but just are tagging along with friends and loved ones. But, teaching can be wonderful for this reason as well. You can use it to your advantage!
If you are teaching a ceramic art education class, for instance, you can think of different projects that will challenge people of all backgrounds. Perhaps you can have individual projects and group projects, so everyone has the chance to mingle with others. Then you can not only expose them to a new art, but to new people and ways of thinking. And that may create more exciting work. You can collect all of their work with a ware cart and let everyone have a look. Maybe critique it and point out all of the interesting aspects, and where they may be able to stretch themselves for something that is even more striking.
And you can always teach them how to use Brent pottery wheels. These are very popular items both within and outside the community, as it is a very well known tool. Thanks to television and movies, it has become very well known. So your class can have a fun day where that is what the focus is on – creating some great pottery! They can just have fun with the designs and shapes, and afterwards when has been glazed and perfected, they can paint it and just have some fun with one another. It is a great way to get everyone involved together.
So do not get discouraged. Use all of the tools you have to create something fun and interesting. Art is for everyone, so learning how to create it and interpret it can be as well. And so do not doubt your capabilities. It can be fun and challenging and rewarding!
