THE ART CLASS CURRICULUM

IT HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT SOME OF THE STUDENTS HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH ME PAINTING IN MY OWN ATELIER. I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THIS TIME TO KINDLY ASK THEM TO NOT SIGN UP FOR THE COMING MONTH PLEASE. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR THE ATELIER'S ATMOSPHERE TO REMAIN SERIOUS AND FOCUSED. HAVING ME AS AN INSTRUCTOR AROUND YOU AS A CONSTANT FORM IS BY NO DEFINITION BRINGING FOCUS TO YOUR WORK. IF ANYTHING THIS PROMOTES A BABYSITTING TONE AND MOOD THAT DIRECTLY AFFECTS THE WAY I CONDUCT MY BUSINESS. FOR THE INSIGNIFICANT AMOUNT THAT I CHARGE, MY WHOLE GOAL IS TO ENCOURAGE AND NURTURE A COLLECTIVE GROWTH THAT IS TANGIBLE. DUE TO THE CONSISTENT BUT NOT CONSTANT REGISTERING OF THE NEW STUDENTS AND ALSO THE ASSORTED NATURE OF MY STUDENTS CHARACTERS, I AM UNABLE TO PUT INTO EFFECT ALL OF MY NEW IDEAS FOR A MORE AFFECTIVE TEACHING HOWEVER I WOULD VERY MUCH LIKE TO DEDICATE SOME STUDIO TIME TO THOSE OF YOU WHO WOULD LIKE TO FIND THEMSELVES IN A HIGHER MORE COLLABORATIVE AND MUTUAL LEARNING COURSE OF STUDY. I AM COMMITTING A FOUR HOUR CLASS TIME TO THOSE INTERESTED IN ATTENDING A STILL LIFE CLASS. I WOULD EVENTUALLY LIKE TO TRANSITE THE WHOLE CLASS TOWARD THIS COAL. NEW COMERS WILL STILL FOLLOW THE SAME OLD CURRICULUM ONLY TO JOIN THE REST OF THE STUDENTS INTO THE HIGHER LEARNING. EVENTUALLY THE IDEA OF EACH PERSON WORKING ON THEIR OWN MODELS WOULD BE DEMOTED. THIS WAY I WOULD FEEL LESS LIKE A BABY SITTER AND MORE LIKE AN INSTRUCTOR. I BELIEVE THAT THE IDEA OF COMING TO AN ART CLASS WITH "PLANS TO DECORATE THE WALLS OF YOUR HOUSE" IS MORE ABOUT EGO AND LESS ABOUT THE ACADEMIA. I WOULD LIKE YOUR CONSTRUCTIVE FEEDBACKS ON THIS MATTER AS ALWAYS. I WILL SOON POST THE TIME THAT THIS NEW CLASS WILL BE LAUNCHED. THIS WOULD BE OF "NO" EXTRA CHARGE TO YOU HOWEVER IT WILL COUNT AS YOUR WEEKLY CLASS FOR WHICH YOU ARE ALREADY PAYING ME. THANK YOU
