Year 2020 began with a new challenge for me. In a rural school in Eastern South Dakota, I taught clay hand-building to high school students for one month. These are some of their work. That first teaching residency was demanding, but extremely rewarding. Digesting the experience, I am now thinking, "How can art-making encourage collaboration and improvisation?"
Teaching teenagers was something I did not think an introvert like me could do well. The challenge made me work harder, and the students seemed to have responded to it. Recalling interactions with them, I am curious how this new journey as an art teacher may help me grow.
