Teaching Experience
Lander University Department of Art 2019 – Present
Adjunct Faculty
I teach various in-person studio classes and asynchronous online art classes on a contract basis several times yearly. This is a mix of undergraduate and graduate-level courses, based on the needs of the University. I design and deliver lectures and discussion forums for Contemporary Art History courses in this role. I created a studio class that investigates drawing skills and the element of line through various concepts, media, and materials. I offer feedback and guidance to students through assignments and projects over 16 weeks. Students are encouraged to engage in alternative approaches to artmaking through research, experimentation, and a willingness to fail. In addition, I developed a series of lectures and discussion exercises for a graduate-level forum. All courses are tracked through Blackboard and the Lander faculty platform to assign work, keep track of student attendance, and record grades. On an ongoing basis, I deliver Art 101, Art Introduction, and History instruction online for 100+ non-art majors including AP High School Students, per semester. Teaching is exclusively online and includes recorded lectures, graded discussion boards, essay and video essay assignments, and weekly reading and quiz assignments through the Pearson Revel digital textbook and Blackboard.

Bob Jones University Department of Art and Design Spring 2022
Adjunct Faculty
Taught a class of eleven undergraduate students from the Art Department and other disciplines the basics of three-dimensional design and composition. Using a prewritten curriculum, I guided these students to build sculptural structures with various materials. They utilized design principles of line, plane, volume, and mass. Over the semester, they produced four complete projects. In addition, the students participated in class discussions of reading assignments from the text. The semester culminated in a final project and examination. Student attendance and grading were tracked through Canvas.
