Teach only what is actionable

(No “Woo” policy)

Have them do the work as much as possible

Give uplifting and actionable critiques of the work

Teach guidelines, not rules

I am not the end-all-be-all authority

What I know is not permeant

(Even the basics are in flux)

Be passionately engaged with the work/concepts, and display passion, love, and vulnerability for the subject matter

ART is an evolving, living thing

I am continually inspired by Freire’s Pedagogy of the Oppressed

I try to create dialogue as an act of “love, humility, and faith” in humanity

I use reflection as a critical learning tool within the group

(The artist does that reflection and is NOT a group critique)
