Artists Who Teach
About the Class
Start developing your teaching superpowers and then you can say I am not a starving artist.
And teaching kids art can be a great way to earn money and the better you are at it, the more money you can make. It's a way for you to work at something creative and be in charge of your schedule. But teaching kids art requires a unique set of skills that people often undervalue. And not everyone has the time or the money to go out and get a teaching degree to learn the skills you need.
You need to know what activities will work with the kids, and what methods of teaching will get the best results. Jacqui Grant ford has been teaching art to kids for years and also hiring artists to take classes. Through this, she has seen all the things that go into making a great teacher. And some of the things that many artists need to learn before they start this fantastic journey.
These are the skills Jacqui learned when she studied all those years ago at University with 30 years of experience working with kids and hiring art teachers and she wants to pass them on to you.
