teaching again

I am so happy to be teaching again!
I had not been teaching the elders at El Cerrito as of late because their schedules were not working with mine.
Then we moved to San Francisco.

Right after moving across the bay I was in a group art show. Art on the Avenues with the Sunset Artists Society. It was my first juried show. I brought along several works in progress. This created many opportunities for conversation. Over and over people said i should give a workshop.

So I did!

It was so much fun for me and the participants.
The class was about transfer technologies and people who came were artists. Photographers especially.

Things i liked about giving the workshop:
It was all my own curriculum, I was not working with someone else's idea of what should be taught.

We explored some new things and some things that are still experimental - that i have been experimenting with.

The people in attendance were highly competent, they were good artists and well versed in using their media.

Somehow it was fun. I'd like to see the key to that cuz sometimes a class won't be and i'm not sure what makes the difference.

Of course i did way too much prep work for it. but i'm assuming that i will get ready with less effort if i do it again.

I also will think more seriously about giving other workshops. I have many in the planning stages.

Since i posted last I have updated my website. See the link above.
