a friend and i were talking about this tonight. i have learned so much from artists who weren’t actively teaching but were generous in sharing ideas or techniques. the best teachers in classes provide skills and encourage students to use their own voice. these artists understand that what you gives comes back multiplied many times and that we can always learn and have our creativity sparked by someone else’s insight. it’s a lovely cycle.

Janice,
As a teacher myself, I appreciate the commandments you have written. All teachers should read these and adhere to them. There are three that are among the most important to me.
#7. Sales are nice if they happen during a class or workshop, but I find it distasteful if a teacher broadcasts this painting, this demo, etc are for sale.
#8. There certainly are many ways to do things. Teachers who insist their way is the only way have too big an ego, in my opinion.
#9. When students tell me so and so teacher said to do it this way, (which is not my way) I tell them there is not just one right way to do things. What works for some artists, may not work best for others. I don’t want to discount what another teacher has said. Besides, you never know when a negative thing you’ve said about another teacher will come back to haunt you.
