I volunteered to give drawing classes to kids around 8-10 years at a local elementary school. It’ll be my very first time doing “teacher’s work”, so to speak. I keep thinking about some of the drawing classes I took, all the stuff that would just make kids hate drawing and how to try and present them in a more “desirable” and fun way. The most important thing I know that I can teach them is to have a more technical eye and how to give and receive critique, which I plan to practice with them every class.
The bad is that, even if I keep the classes weekly as initially planned, I’m looking at mostly 3 years with any of them, as they’ll have to change schools for their 6th year (Brazil currently has years 1-9 for elementary school; some schools, like the one I’ll be volunteering at, only teach up to 5th year). Still, I hope that’ll be enough for at least one of them to remember me, some 15-20 years in the future, like Lovestein’s mom.
