Reading 1: Teaching Artist
What might a teaching artist add to teaching and learning in art? One of the first thing that comes to my mind, is what the article references. I think it is one thing to learn how to make art and another to experience art and how to make it. A teaching artist allows the students to be artists, not to just about passing a class. They encourage students to create and learn from their play. I like how the article talks about how a teacher should interact with their students. If they get up and lecture about how to make art, then how will the student truly understand how to be an artist. Or how will they enjoy art making if they are limited by rules and lectures. I believe that when the teaching artist teaches, then there is more being taught than just the art foundations. They are teaching the students how to improvise, innovate, play and fail, learn, interpret, and create. Allow the students to be artists.

In the article, improvisation is defined "as a way of emphasizing a process-driven curriculum" (48). In my own words, improvisation is another word for exploration. Students can be taught basic art fundamentals and principles within a classroom. However, they can use improvisational skills to explore, play, and create new artworks. Like those of Mark Bradford's art, use items around you and create; collect, layer, plaster, collage, etc... There is so much that can be done! Spiral Workshop Site In the tracing project, how do they approach drawing? Most of the students either referenced a figure whilst mark making, or they were given a figure to make something with marks. They were allowed to use any material, however with the common theme of creating something that would cause viewers to think about the marks the artists (students) made. In the fluid project, how do they approach drawing? In this project, the students were limited to only using water with color to create their artworks. The students had to learn the qualities of water and figure out how to appropriately mix colors.

My glitch series is based on my perfectionism. It is truly something that takes over my daily functions as a person. Therefore, having to glitch images that depict such perfectionism, really hits me hard.
