ACADEMIC EXPERIENCE
Clemson University
Clemson, South Carolina, 2019
Position: Instructor of Record
Subject Area: Art Appreciation/ Drawing
Responsibilities: I lectured for Art Appreciation for non-majors and developed course curriculum including, but not limited to, class assignments, quizzes and exams. I brought in guest speakers to the classroom in an effort to connect students and local businesses and engaged in community outreach. When I instructed for studio courses, I often prepared class presentations, live demonstrations and prerecorded video demonstrations of myself, and provided critical feedback to students both one-on-one and during studio critiques. I aimed to prepare my students for their senior semester, and for life after college, by lecturing on the importance of maintaining an artist resume and what that looks like as well as artistic opportunities such as graduate school, post-bachelorette programs, residencies, internships, scholarship opportunities and grant writing. When instructing in studio courses, I often maintained the classroom and ordered classroom supplies. For every class I have instructed/lectured, I have completed mid-semester progress reports and final grades using Clemson University’s Canvas Learning Management Systems.
Courses Taught: Art Appreciation, Beginning Life Drawing, Intermediate Drawing, Advanced Drawing.
