First Day of Teaching
So yesterday was the first day of teaching. It went pretty well. A few hickups, third world countries are still very unorganized and backwards in many ways. There will be things like the college not telling you you have class when you do, or the students saying the material you prepared off the course description is not what they want to learn, etc...but it's very fun to teach and not waste away in a cubicle. In a way I am my own boss. Yesterday we had the students do some still life drawing and taught them shading techniques and the basic shapes of art. Today I have prepared a good presentation for them on composition in a drawing/picture. We are also going to have them start their still life projects, draw their hands, and draw without looking at the paper.

How wonderful to feel like your own boss and doing a job that it fun. Very glad to hear that all is continuing to go well for you! love, Mom
ReplyDeleteI wish I were there studying with you. I don't know how to draw and would give an arm and a leg to be able to do it. Don't worry about huddles. It's no teaching if there is none. It's no teaching if both teacher and students don't learn together. Just enjoy the process and Aussies say "no worries, mate."
ReplyDeleteHeaps of love and thumbs up for you.

PS: remember that in Asia, teachers rank next to God so they worship you and your status. Take it seriously.
