Episode 28 - Teaching Art

How To Draw Comics

In this weeks episode of the HTDC Podcast, Clayton Barton, Ric Bulow and Ed Foychuk talk about the art - of teaching art. We reflect on our past experiences in the class room as both students and teachers, and discuss what we think it takes to be an effective art instructor who can walk the talk. Like art, teaching is a specialized skill all on it's own. A brilliant artist can create awe inspiring work no problem, but can they articulate exactly how they did it, in a way where their students are able to replicate the same results? We also discuss the pros and cons of learning in the class room, vs online training, and what each can offer to enhance the learning experience for aspiring artists. If you're on the look out for an art course and aren't quite sure where to start, give this episode a listen - hopefully it'll point you in the right direction.
