Jan 2007 – present
Faculty teaching: Intro to Printmaking (survey class), Silkscreen 1 & 2, Book Arts 1 & 2, and Monotype at Academy of Art University (SF). Class sizes ranged from 8 – 18 students, over 15 weeks (1 day/6 hours) or 7.5 weeks (2 days/g hours per day) for summer semester. Followed class outlines and curriculum, but created my own content for demonstrations and often revised handouts. Onsite classes often covered 1-2 demonstrations per class, student work time, and critiques. Taught online classes, which were already built including videos and text instructions. Facilitated class discussions, worked individually with students, and critiqued assignments. Re-built both online classes Intro to Printmaking and Silkscreen to update videos, revise technology, and refine curriculum.
