Practice makes perfect.
This mini series is inspired by my own experience being a part-time art teacher for small children. This is the planned final lesson, but there might be more to come. Hope you'll enjoy it! :)
Music:
"Flight is Aight" by Karneef
From YouTube Audio Library
===========================
Although I'm not teaching art anymore, I still think about what I could have done better.
The teaching materials provided by the art studio were just photocopied pictures (cartoons, backgrounds, and anime characters for the more advanced), and we teachers were instructed to teach students how to draw them.
We can learn by imitating yes, but perhaps I got too focused on getting the students to achieve the exact same copy of the picture, until I forgot what they really need to learn.
It's getting them to understand the lines and shapes to form those pictures, and even something as simple as rotating the paper to make drawing easier.
Teaching is a form of art, which can be practiced. We might never actually perfect it, but it will be improved overtime.
Thank you for reading!
