I know, I know, a lofty thought, but I was grousing about my whole week being about prepping and teaching art with no space for making<\/em> art and the chaplain here at The Bishop\u2019s Ranch, Pat Moore, said its\u00a0 \u201cGod\u2019s work\u201d so I\u2019m going with it.\u00a0 She said that preparing well to teach a class is a gift, it shows I value my students and their time.\u00a0 To make clear instructions and ready materials opens up the participants, be they children or adults, to explore the medium at hand, it gives them a ease and comfort to dive in and find their own voice.\u00a0 Put into that lovely gilded frame I’m not as frustrated and overwhelmed by my week.\u00a0 And to be perfectly honest, after 20 plus years teaching, I prep for these classes with great rigor and detail because it makes me feel more comfortable as I teach, it makes me a better instructor.\u00a0 So I suppose there\u2019s art involved after all just not the kind you can hang up on the wall.\u00a0 I taught (or readied to teach) everyone from Kindergarten to adults in 8 different class.\u00a0 I\u2019m most excited about a new adventure in teaching that I\u2019m getting ready for at the end of the month.\u00a0 I\u2019ll be teaching 3 classes at the CREATE Conference in Orange County.\u00a0 It is going to be a amazing hub of creative energy.\u00a0 Here are two links, the first to the CREATE conference workshop<\/a> list, second to a blog hop<\/a> that lists instructors, like me, and their blogs, if you like what I’m up to you should check them out too! Spread the word to all your friends who are creative explorers in Southern California, maybe they can join in the fun.<\/p>\n
