I just finished my first 5-week Adult Intro to Drawing Course and I absolutely adore this first batch of students. As a newbie to the teaching scene, I wasn't sure what to expect. Boy was I pleasantly surprised.
All of these students shared some qualities that I am going to take with me into my own art journey:
1. Humility. They were nervous about learning a new skill, but willing to try anyway.
2. Learner-Attitude. Whatever I taught, they were willing to learn. The fact that they even signed up for the class at all shows a hunger to learn.
3. Friendly. Their willingness to get to know each other and share a bit of their story with the group made each class a delight.
4. Courage. I made art in secret for years before I worked up the courage to share it. Not this group. By the second class they were willingly sharing their drawings with each other and encouraging one another.
