South High School- David Olsen- Residency 4hrs
MCTC- Gregory Rose- Residency 3hrs
Gregory has allowed me to come in earlier in order to help him prep for class, so I got to see a lot more of MCTC’s teaching spaces and supplies. I shadowed him as he went about his daily set up, grabbing paperwork from his office, obtaining supplies out of a shared storage closet, and choosing images for his lecture. Through the whole process he talked me through why he was doing each thing and helped me to better formulate an idea of what setup would be like for me as a teacher. He also showed me MCTC’s new display space, which is currently showing alumni work. It’s a very new space so Gregory talked me through how starting it has been going and where he would like to see it in the future. He is very invested in the program and wants to see it grow. Class was more contour drawing and I am continuing to grow more confident about giving students advice about their work.
At South High School David Had me help prep his classes. I used the pug mill throughout the day to build a reservoir of ready clay for the students to use. I also helped prepare student work for the kiln, wiping the bottoms of glaze, and gently placing them onto a cart by the kiln.
