Subject Matter Knowledge
I engage my students in learning experiences that enable them to acquire complex knowledge and skills in art.
Here's some evidence of my own knowledge and skill in the discipline:
My old Off the Walls Murals website
I'm a founding member of Boston Figurative Art Center..
I taught Introduction to Art Education at Boston University for three semesters.
And of course the samples from my portfolio that you can find elsewhere on this website.
I continually stress vocabulary and concepts that will help students improve their work. These concepts are communicated in lesson introductions, in one-to-one individualized instruction and conversations, in extensive notes sent in the online grade book, and in critiques.
To better convey essential information, just about every lesson includes modeled expectations using student exemplars, professional examples such as masterworks, examples of my own work, and/or demonstrations. You will see examples of that in most of the lessons on the Art & Design program website (Once there, just scroll down and to the left for my own courses.).
