My Passion & How I Inspire
My approach to private tuition is to work with my clients; by initially meeting to understand their needs and ambitions; ascertain where a student is at in their current work. I can look at actual work made and also at the students understanding of this. This then gives me a realistic idea of the students strengths and weaknesses, and where there are any gaps in knowledge or, in their practice.
We can then establish and develop a ācontract for learningā, which is a map between the student and myself setting out the appropriate realistic goals and ambitions for the tuition process, and how we will aim to achieve this. For example we will work on projects in drawing and making, using both traditional and modern processes and technologies. This will help develop the students technical abilities in observational, and hand eye applications, confidence, and visual literacy; We will also look at developing the students understanding of art history and, art theory. Through exploring art historical case studies and developments both through discussions, through text references and worksheets, and in visiting galleries. Through working on both technical application of practical skills alongside developing theoretical understanding; students will begin to learn how to develop integrative skills of both critical theory and their making practice.
