Today I finished teaching my first class, Drawing and Sketching. Because I am working in the Art Department, I teach blocks of classes for two to three weeks at a time instead of an entire semester. The class went really well. I only had five classes with the students, but we covered some good material such as: Portraiture, 1 and 2 Point Perspective, (3-Dimensional Drawing) Composition, the 5 Shapes of Art, Shading, Front, Side, and Top View Drawings, Still-Life's, Thumbnail and Hand Sketches, etc...
I finished grading the class tonight. Most students are excellent artists and have a lot of talent. I am looking forward to the next classes, which will be all new freshman and in a bigger circular room which is perfect for art classes.
I posted some photos yesterday, hope you enjoyed them.
Excellent Dan.
ReplyDeleteAnd wonderful to see your photos!
It looks like Xiangfan is a walled city as so many in China. the ancient stone wall surrounds to center of the city and there is a bell tower that used to ring to tell people to go to work and then rings at the end of the day to tell them they can go home.
Teaching art is an incredible way to connect with the culture, its people and yourself.
