Rhoda’s Answer

Traditional methods like sketching, painting, and sculpting give artists hands-on experiences that help them understand materials and techniques better. These techniques are essential as a foundation for creating new and exciting artworks. Without this base, the artwork might lose its essence.

By combining traditional and digital methods, students can build a complete artistic practice. They learn craftsmanship while exploring new digital techniques. A balanced curriculum helps students appreciate art history and prepares them for modern creative fields.

What kind of art teacher do you want to be? A school art teacher, a private lesson teacher for an organization, or perhaps open your own art center? If you're in Florida, you might consider reaching out to local libraries or civic centers. You could offer to teach art classes there, even if unpaid at first, to get a feel for what it's like to be an art teacher. This could be a good starting point for your career.
