Passion first!
More than an artist, a good art teacher, is an energetic passionate human being.
Someone whose life has been dedicated to art and art education.
Empathy, active listening, and a strong yearning for their students’ success are all essential qualities of excellent art instructors.
Understanding the students’ vision of their artistic level and helping them move on is the starting point of any good teaching method.
Excellent art teachers are also knowledgeable about different techniques, but most importantly they keep up to date with the various existing “art-worlds”. This allows them to direct their positive critique toward a particular one, so the student may thrive accordingly.
Art history, art theory, and philosophy are also essential for good art education since they help learners develop novel ways of expression without repeating what has been done before.
