I have been asked to do something unexpected. I was asked to teach art to my neighbor’s oldest child. Do to certain circumstances he was pulled from school and is now being homeschooled. Apparently I became a candidate for teaching. To be honest I have never taught anyone my style before and I’m not really sure how to describe art to a kid. Really I do art by how I feel not by any particular rule or guidance. It’s all with how I feel and what is influencing me. It’s all a way to let things go and convey emotions or ideas that I want to share. I’m not an amazing artist and I don’t consider myself a master of anything but I was surprised when I got asked and in a way honored.
I think me teaching will be interesting and something I am going to have to get used to. I know that I teaching the way I do art will be quite the journey and it may help me grow as a person. After all I have never really worked with kids and I guess learning is always a good thing. I’m excited to see what I can do and how I can help this younger generation grow. I wonder if he is any good. I wonder how he learns and I wonder what kind of art he will create. Everyone has a voice and it can be expressed in many different forms. I wonder what his inner self will say when he gets the hand of it. I wonder what I will learn from him and what he will learn from me.
Who knows I may influence someone who could have a possible future in the art world. Under the right circumstances and with the right kind of people you can become anything in the world. The more knowledge you know the more valuable you are.
I wonder what will happen.
