Week 15
This week I taught my lesson, Comic of our Fears, to a few of the staff at Mia. It went well, and the results were wonderful. One member drew a bat, dabbing in a field of flowers, another drew a chicken on a floaty in a lake (I drew a bear sunbathing). Both said they felt calmer after the lesson. I felt very comfortable doing the lesson even though it was taught virtually, a result of practicing it out loud a few times. Both members appreciated my researched examples from the museums collection, and gave me some other helpful tips on how I could improve my teaching strategies.
A short version of my lesson is also now up on the Mia Website! Here’s the link: https://new.artsmia.org/virtual-open-studios/comic-of-our-fears/
