Coon Rapids High School – Jennifer Latuff – 25 hours
I had a great time at my Coon Rapids High School placement this week! Jennifer Latuff was one of my favorite art teachers from high school so I wanted to go back and work with her. She is no longer at the school that she was at when I had her, so this was an entirely new experience for me.
The first day I let the drawing level 3 students in a life drawing lesson. Ms. Latuff has a passion for life drawing and I remember her doing these beginning life drawing sessions with my classes in high school, so it was awesome to be able to teach it since its also a passion of mine. She gave me total freedom and it was a great time. The students were very into it and used class time very well.
I was able to do this all week, as well as give demos in her sculpture and drawing classes and short artist talks about my personal work and life in art school. It was an exhausting week, but a great experience. Working with Ms. Latuff has already taught me a lot. We decided that my big lesson I'll be teaching will be on monotype printing, on Monday the 26th. Can't wait!
