when it comes to talking about art, one-on-one conversations are the best.

- when there's only two people, nobody gets left out, and each person learns something valuable.

- there isn't much room for hierarchies to develop because each person is responsible to nourish the relationship.

- both act the roles of teacher and student, and respect follows as such.

- the pace of progress is entirely dependent upon mutual understanding, which is a sure sign of effective learning.

i propose there be a system by which individuals are paired, like an online dating service, but for art conversations.

yes. it happened once. if you live in chicago, email me at the address listed and directed towards ed. -jess

commented on Drawing

I teach drawing for anyone interested.  I will share all of my knowledge including my own methodologies, materials, productivity habits, etc.   Class will focus on observational drawing and drawing from the imagination.

 

Teaching is free of charge and is face to face, probably at my apartment in small groups (1-4 people)

Hone your rhetorical skills in your chosen subject and blurt over one another. Does not have to be congruent with other rhetorical language sets. Whoever is the most opaque and stupefying wins.

proposed Complain

This class is designed for people to complain. You know how everybody frowns on it? Well here is a formal enviornment in which complaining becomes the focal point. In other words, the better you complain the better your grade.
