I think that my practices as an artist will help as a teacher in my classroom because it allows me to connect with my students because we both can share in some common ground of looking for ways to be creative and unique. I think we can both share in the struggles that all artist have when comming up with different ways to solving projects.
I feel that the skills that are learned are very important in communicating. As a student or teacher we need to explain what we are trying to get across to our audience and explain it through step by step processes of how we came up with the idea of inspiration all the way to the final end product which is what we will show as the final solved problem.
I think it is important to try to incorporate my own work into the class but I dont think that you should really be concerned with showing much of it. I think it is important to show your creativness and being able to explain how you came up with th ideas but I feel from my own experience that if you show your work students will try to immulate what you did because you are the teacher and what you did must be the right way so I feel that showing your work should be done carefully and only when it really needed.
I feel that i will continue to make art mostly on my free time but like in the RWR's they talked about how the teacher would do the assignments along with the students and how this was affective and gave the students confidence in there own work as well as ideas to build from. It is important to continue to make art even after you are teacher because it allows your students to see that you as a more than just a teacher as well as allows you as a person to continue to grow as an artist as well as a person.
Vieth characterizes the relationship between teaching and art making art as a experience that is meaningful and enriching to you as well as your students. He talks about how this connection gives the students the opportunity to share insights, skills, knowledge but he explains that it should be dynamic experience for the students that will shape them beyond the classroom.
I think it is important that students learn the technical skills inorder for them to have the skills necessary to be able create art through any realm. Once they have learned the skills I feel that will be better suited to explore my dynamice projects that requires them to be more creative.
